The Mystery of Flying Honeydew: A Strange Case of Unabashed Thievery

[drhoz]

An awesome blog post about PREDATORY SNAILS politely tapping LANTERN BUGS for honeydew and calcium, and then being mugged by ANTS for the honeydew before they can drink it. This is possibly the most awesome bit of insect-farming and kleptoparasitism I've seen in EVER.

And the photos are just gorgeous!
