Comments

The spider was beautifully camouflaged and well placed to catch the small bee. However, it evidently rejected the bee as prey and did not attempt a catch. The bee fed for about a minute, oblivious to the spider, then left.

Aardvarks are shy, solitary and completely nocturnal. They sleep in burrows by day and emerge to dig for termites after dark. This one was found by spotlighting on open grasslands.

The dardanus male (below) is monomorphic and non-mimetic, pale yellow with dark brown borders. Females are polymorphic mimics, of several distasteful models, and do not resemble the male at all.
