It would be quite a difficult habit to observe in the wild I should think.

Thanks for reminding me how fascinating these insects are, there's so much more to be discovered about them in all aspects of their lives. <br />I've bookmarked your blog and will popping in from time to time, as with most blogs similar to yours I'm sure I'll learn plenty and pick up many hints and tips along the way. <br /><br />Keep up the great work,<br /><br />Charlie. charlie streetshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07074044183576716252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6110031488628010020.post-29890470315647308762017-11-13T11:43:01.055+00:002017-11-13T11:43:01.055+00:00Excellent page, Charlie.
