What

Fourteen-spotted Lady Beetle (Propylea quatuordecimpunctata)

Date

July 2021

Description

Feeding habit observation included (pictures 3-4)

Found on black eyed susans (planted)

The ants seemed to be protecting whatever the lady beetle was eating

I am unsure of what the small white-ish dots are that the lady beetle is eating but they had to be stealthy to eat it as ants would chase it off if they noticed

Description

See associated observation(s) for more info on this collection of observations depicting food competition with other species.

I do realize this is a Hackberry butterfly, but all this competition was over Pin Oak sap. In their defense, the Pin Oak tree is about 8ft away from the Hackberry tree.

Description

For this and associated observations, it appeared that numerous (I counted 8) Hackberry Emperors were trying to enjoy their day sucking on the nutrition from a recently cut branch nub. The Polygonia sp. had different ideas as I witnessed it repeatedly "divebombing" the Emperors in an attempt to scatter them away from the sap. In some pictures (in either this or one of the associated observations) you can clearly see a big green June Bug laying atop the branch nub taking advantage and enjoying the meal while the Lepids fight over it.

Nature is fun. Even PG-rated nature. XD

It appears that hybrid has chosen different nest box this season, but today it was singing by the previous nest box and pair of tree sparrows beside didn't like at all it taking a closer look. Recording has presumably hybrid singing in the beginning, then tree sparrow voices while hybrid was active at the nest box.

I've changed all the interaction field names from "Interaction: " to "Interaction->" to stop them messing with the photo tag processing on photo import. When adding photos already tagged with fields to the "Add an observation" page, it was only grabbing the field name text after the colon and so not working properly.

Everything works now that the colon is gone, so long as you use a recognised taxon name. For example, if I tag a photo on my computer with "Interaction->Visited flower of=Rosmarinus officinalis" and upload it, it will get this field added with the taxon Rosmarinus officinalis.

That can save a lot of time if you''re maintaining your own photo library in your computer and tagging lots of photos there and uploading them all at once.
