Thank you very much! I am glad to see you again on the forum.

You are welcome. I was temporarily eaten up by Real Madrid, but I'm gradually crawling out of it and even have something to show from what I've already shot, but I'm leaving tomorrow, and I'll be back in June.

I found a photo "turning to termite mounds" after the rains, here you can see how high the water is on the entire "termite strip", you can only get there by boat.

Not just termites. At dusk, most arthropods come out of hiding (and not only), and during the day the tropics are almost empty - everything is hiding. This has already been noted many times. As for termites , I don't know, but they might have underground passages. On the other hand, with such a large number and size of termites, they should simply be visible when foraging!

I was looking for it, with a flashlight. Just in the bush (in three National Parks), in the Botanical Garden, along the roads, on campsites, etc. I have never seen much activity after sunset and in total darkness, there are a lot of spiders and ants everywhere, but they can be found in large numbers during the day. Ants and very small beetles are usually caught in traps, and even more interesting specimens arrive at the light.

I would like more beetles

I'd like more beetles

And I would like to! But they don't exist. I mean, they probably exist somewhere, but I can't find them, and they don't come by themselves.

I already have the whole family jump nervously at the word "bug", because on walks I demand them to find me a bug!

There are no beetles, so I have, excuse me, more bug larvae. They were hatched and traditionally sit on the Hibiscus tiliaceus, Malvaceae.

A bug, literally - a May bug, because it flew into the house in May.

The child found a spider in the garage and did not bother to call his mother (he was standing guard over the spider himself), my mother was terribly happy.

To get beautiful poses, I had to tease the animal with a straw.

Eventually, the model got tired of being a model and not just a spider, and ran to the top corner of the jamb. He categorically refused to go down for further contacts, so we had to leave him alone.
