The Danaus petilia was one of the insects visiting the Sandalwood Santalum spicatum flowers in Wyalkatchem.
There were three trees there and extremely old I never really realized how pretty the flowers are. The odour of the flowers was very pleasant.
We stopped in pitch darkness on the highway as I wanted to photograph these. These are actually insect farms. Remember the fried bugs I'd had the previous day? Well, this is the way they are caught. Right down there is a shallow tank filled with water. The tube light attracts the bugs some of which fall into the water below. The plastic sheet disorients them and prevents them flying away. My guess is that the water in the shallow tub attracts small frogs as well. Scoop them up in the morning, sort them, and fry them! Life's good! (Battambang, Cambodia, Apr. 2014)
The children painted with worms (rubber); made a squish painting to show the mirror image of what they painted; made a super cute tissue snail and an insect crayon rubbing. The children then explored several sensory stations. Magnets; rings; fidget toys; sensory bins were multi-colored rice with lizards, dinosaur skeleton dig, fresh made play dough. Other sensory tables items included gel spiders, stack wood beads on a stick, counting and picking up numerous insects, and sensory houses.
Unknown insect eggs which appeared on our screen door sometime after Saturday night, 40 image focus stack.
*provisional identification
A female parasitoid wasp of the Trichogrammatidae family found in birch at the same point as previous post. Am thinking this is probably Chaetostricha doricha but without any certainty. If so, previous post might be male C.doricha. Would appreciate some guidance on this matter if anyone cares to contribute. Additional pictures below can be viewed larger with a click.
Outside our hut in Sihanoukville we had large globe lamps to help us not fall down the large concrete stairs whilst drunk (thank you On The Rocks guesthouse).
For added awesome insects would come and sit on the lamps every night and the creickets would sit on the globes waiting to eat the insects. I think this one is eating a large flying thing with four wings.
Stick insects inhertited when they were 5mm babies, now about 70mm! In defensive position with front legs and antennae straight out in "stick" mode. Not the most exciting "pet", but good practice for macro and they'll sit perfectly still when it's light. This is my first attempt with natural light and a 10mm extension tube, it transforms the closeup abilities of the kit 14-42 lens (28-84 equivalent lens)
This Blackcap is building its nest in our garden. Female Blackcaps have a nice brownish/red cap and hope to be able to show that here in the coming days. These Blackcaps have a very nice song.
