You might like the blog of Doug Taron called Gossamer Tapestry. He is an entimologist with the Peggy Northbert Nature Museum in Chicago but he comes here once a year for a butterfly seminar down in Rio Rico. There is a link to his blog on my blog. His primary interest is butterflies but he really likes beetles also.Kathie Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10377224759599266209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446924751738546355.post-48213984603144604462010-06-10T11:09:15.797-07:002010-06-10T11:09:15.797-07:00Via flickr

Are there others who practice this parasitic behaviour?Margarethe Brummermannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05623937180200255796noreply@blogger.com
