🦊🐛 In the forests of #Madagascar, #lemurs have learned to use #millipedes as a specialized form of #medicine.
By gently biting the #insects, the #primates trigger the release of defensive #chemicals that act as a potent repellent against #malaria-carrying #mosquitoes. The lemurs rub the secretions into their fur and even ingest small amounts to treat internal parasites. The toxins cause a brief, trancelike state.

Nachdem meine Waldschaben ausziehen dürften sind heute gleich ein paar neue #Wirbellose Schützlinge eingezogen.
1. Bild: Hierodula Venosa "goldene Riesengottesanbeterin"
2. Bild: Anadenobolus monilicornis "Bumble-Bee Tausendfüsser"
3. Bild: Pycnoscelus NigraEntschuldigt das die Bilder teilweise etwas unscharf sind. Die Fotos sind beim umsetzen entstanden, da wollte ich die Tiere nicht zu sehr mit der Kamer stressen.

Here's a creepy critter photo dump. These critters were found by the back porch, except the beetle, which was on our raspberry vines.
1)Yellow-spotted Millipede (Harpaphe haydeniana)
2) Beetle (Helops laetus)
3) Western Carpet moth (Melanolophia imitata)
4) Crane fly (Genus Tricyphona)
