WOW I went fishing again for the first time in 4 years!
It was sooo cool i seen things I've never seen before. I actually got to see
an actual mantis in real life! I had found 3, the first one I found was probably about an L3 or L4 tiny wingbuds but you could hardly see them. It was brown, had white stripes and pink eyes. I let this one go because it looked too cool. The second one I found looked like an L2, I have it with me right now
. Its tan, brown eyes and it changes colors at night. Turns pale and her eyes turn blood red! And lastly I found a mature
mantis laying an ooth only about a half inch, very small. She was already done with it when i saw her.
Now for the wierd pits. I thought they were just craters caused by stuff falling from the trees, but I saw a dead ant in there. I poked it then it was dragged in more. I moved on to a bigger pit and dropped a small ant in it. It was so wierd because it looked like the sand was jumping. I scooped up the pit and shifted the sand in my hand and what do ya know, its an antlion. I have 4 right now. I also seen the adults. One landed on my ear
which scared the freaking out of me. They look kinda like damselflies.
Now for the natural racecars we have here on earth. TIGER BEETLES! Super fast and i didnt know they can fly. They were catching ants like there was no tommarow. I love the beutiful colors.
I also witnessed a robberfly stealing food from a spiders web. Very sneaky. It goes on one edge of the web, has a little leaf in its hand or uh leg and plucks the spiders web gently. When it had the spiders attention it put the leaf in its web and shook harder. As the spider was rushing to the leaf the robber fly flew over and snatched the fresh wrapped insect and flew off leaving the spider to cocoon its leaf very funny.
I also caught 3 ant queens. Probably a fungus growing species due to all the vegetation it was collecting.
Well I had a great time and there are more things I wanna talk about but im sure you guys dont really care and dont want to read some more(I know i wouldn't)
Hope you guys fo something fun today or tommarow or whenever you have time.
Thanks for reading :wink:
