Adonis Blue Burial

Adonis blue pupa (Polyommatus bellargus) buried in soil. Surrey, UK.

 

The pupa was only partially concealed on my previous visit but now the red ants have buried it to a depth of a few millimetres and packed it in tightly. No ants seen in attendance this time.

 

Uncovered briefly and re-buried.
