When the chicks are in danger, many parent birds rush to protect the offspring, but not the gray auliya. These birds do not interfere with the safety of their chicks, because they are able to protect themselves on their own.

To escape predators, gray aulia chicks pretend to be flannel moth caterpillars. The fact is that these caterpillars are poisonous, and many predators know this. The chicks bend their heads and begin to crawl exactly like this caterpillar. Many predators, seeing this performance, leave.

A wonderful video showing a ladybug taking off 🐞

First, the ladybug spreads its hard elytra, from under which the previously folded thin wings appear. These wings are permeated with vessels. By increasing the fluid pressure in these vessels, the wings straighten. Next, the ladybug pushes off the surface with its paws, as all insects do in principle, and takes off. In real time, this entire process takes no more than a second.

To determine the sex of a cockchafer, you need to look at its antennae. Males have seven “antennae”, while females have only six.

Adult females lay eggs in the soil, where they can remain for several years. There the larvae develop, feeding on plant roots. They then undergo metamorphosis into nymphs, and finally adults emerge from underground in the spring to reproduce.
