Yamato Scrub Boca Raton Fl
Watching these ants move this beetle up the underpass wall was amazing. This is about 4 feet vertically up. Their only problem is that there was no way they were going to get their prize into the nest on this route. I watched them move it up and came back about 45 minutes later and they were still at it!
In Māori tradition, all insects are respected as children of Tāne, god of the forests. It was said that if a stick insect landed on you in the bush, you were entering a sacred place. If a stick insect landed on a woman it was a sign she was pregnant.
I think I'm going to call this finished. I could noodle in more details and fix that bottom most head... maybe some other time though. Best viewed big methinks.
Mud-puddling is the phenomenon mostly seen in butterflies and involves their aggregation on substrates like wet soil, dung and carrion to obtain nutrients such as salts and amino acids. This behaviour has also been seen in some other insects, notably the leafhoppers.
Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths) are diverse in their strategies to gather liquid nutrients. Typically, mud-puddling behavior takes place on wet soil. But even sweat on human skin may be attractive to butterflies.The most unusual sources include blood and tears.
This behaviour is restricted to males in many species, and in some like Battus philenor the presence of an assembly of butterflies on the ground acts as a stimulus to join the presumptive mud-puddling flock.
In tropical India this phenomenon is mostly seen in the post-monsoon season. The groups can include several species often including members of the Papilionidae and Pieridae.
Males seem to benefit from the sodium uptake through mud-puddling behaviour with an increase in reproductive success. The collected sodium and amino acids are often transferred to the female with the spermatophore during mating as a nuptial gift. This nutrition also enhances the survival rate of the eggs.
When puddling many butterflies and moths pump fluid through the digestive tract and release fluid from their anus. In some, such as the male notodontid Gluphisia septentrionis, this is released in forced anal jets at 3 second intervals. Fluid of up to 600 times the body mass may pass through and males have a much longer ileum (anterior hindgut) than non-puddling females

Tiger Crane Fly (Nephrotoma wulpiana)
Royal Oak Burial Park, Saanich, BC
This crane fly is partly translucent, and the light shining through it gives it this golden glow. This attractive and harmless insect was not safe though - its was about to be attacked.
