Insect

The bottom imago waits for all to appear and comes out!
So. The imago which emerged seems to wait for a few days until other cocoon are appearing.
And, he passes through the side of a cocoon of an upper small room and goes to the top when he cannot wait it. Ⅱ
When it is other kinds, and a cocoon of an upper small room is dead, he eats away the cocoon and advances to the top.
And it is the worst and when he cannot go to the top (the thing which is hard on a ceiling, strongly closed ceiling), he open a hole out of necessity on a wall beside a small room and go out. Ⅱ'

He advance to the upper part even if he invert a stem of a raspberry and go out. Ⅲ
They advance somehow towards the top and go out.

Then how do you become it in the case of stability? (Fabre took a direction of a cocoon to pieces)They are divided into right and left equally and go out. Ⅴ  Ⅵ
(Fabre collected a cocoon of ミツバツツハナバチ and put a cocoon in tube of glass and Fabre made a small room and observed it and tested it)

It is a necessary experiment of perseverance!
I do remaked based on a cut and an explanation and color it.


A life style of an insect

A story of an insect.
This is a nest of Hoplitis tridentata(MITSUBA-TUTU-HANABACHI).
These bees make plural small room in a stem of a raspberry and save honey and pollen paste there and lay one egg on the paste.
A small room is made from a bottom sequentially towards the top.
Of course a bottom's egg is the oldest, and the top is the newest.
Therefore, as for the metamorphosis to a chrysalis, as for the metamorphosis to an imago, a bottom's room is early.

I drew it on a figure. It changes from Ⅰ into Ⅳ.
What kind of method will the bottom imago go out by?


The method and experiment are written down to a description of Fabre insect (Souvenirs Entomologiques) in detail.

I am interested in this book very much.

Blue Butterfly

This is a blue butterfly called Ulysses (♂) .
A scientific name is Papilio ulysses joesa.
It is said that that man becomes fortunate and the wish suits if this butterfly is seen. I looked at the first Australia about 3 times during the travel.
And in the second visit to Australia, I was able to see 4 to 5 times.
My heart rang high for this skillful butterfly of metallic luster at that time.


The web information about this butterfly was summarized and it was described below.

The Ulysses Butterfly is also known as the Blue Mountain Swallowtail, the Blue Emperor, and the Mountain Blue. It is a spectacular bright blue and black Australian swallowtail butterfly. It lives in tropical rain forests in Australia, Indonesia, and other nearby islands.
The male is an iridescent blue-green with black edges. The female is more subdued in color. The body is plump and dark with a blue-green sheen. The Ulysses Butterfly has a wingspan of about 5.5 inches (14 cm). Both have a long "swallowtail."
Males are attracted to most blue objects (mistaking them for females). There are 16 known subspecies of the Ulysses. It is a protected species in Queensland, Australia.
