Mission Statement
Countless dogs are without homes and in need of assistance. These are dogs who would make wonderful and faithful companions if only they could connect with the right person or family. We have made it our mission to help them do this. At the same time we hope to enrich the lives of those who adopt them.
In two of the locations where we saw the large beeflies (one of the largest flies in the world), we found one of these empty pupa cases.
I wonder if it is the pupa cases from the hatched beeflies?

Two male Heliconius butterflies await the emergence of a female, still inside her pupal casing. When the female emerges, or perhaps even before, these males will compete for the chance to mate with her. Read more about pupal mating in butterflies at the Wild Tropics blog:

The display reads:
The Sopwith Pup ranks as one of the truly great combat aircraft of World War I. Some have called it the most perfect flying machine ever made. Regardless, the Pup was undeniably a docile and enjoyable airplane to fly. A true pursuit, the Pup was capable of competing one-on-one with any combat aircraft in the sky at the time of its debut during the spring of 1916. It proved so effective against German aircraft that German pilots consciously avoided confrontations with it until the advent of more capable German pursuits. By the end of 1917, the Pup's advantage had been offset by newer designs. It was quickly phased out as more aircraft became available.
The Pup was equipped with a single fixed, synchronized Vickers machine gun mounted on top of the forward fuselage, ahead of the cockpit.
This 1916 full-size replica was made by W. Petrone of Ames, Iowa in 1972. It is on loan from the National Museum of the Air Force.

The Sopwith Pup was a British single seater biplane fighter aircraft built by the Sopwith Aviation Company. It entered service with the Royal Flying Corps and the Royal Naval Air Service in the fall of 1916. With pleasant flying characteristics and good manoeuvrability, the aircraft proved very successful. The Pup was eventually outclassed by newer German fighters, but it was not completely replaced on the Western Front until the end of 1917. Remaining Pups were relegated to Home Defence and training units. The Pup's docile flying characteristics also made it ideal for use in aircraft carrier deck landing and take-off experiments.
The Pup was officially named the Sopwith Scout. The "Pup" nickname arose because pilots considered it to be the "pup" of the larger two-seat Sopwith 1½ Strutter. The name never had official status as it was felt to be "undignified", but a precedent was set, and all later Sopwith types apart from the triplane acquired names of mammals or birds (Camel, Dolphin, Snipe etc.), which ended up with the Sopwith firm being said to have created a "flying zoo" during the First World War.
