Thank you Ornithoptera

I saw a comment from Vo Ahn Tuan that is not showing up on this post right now. Vo said: "momsavang, Sorry, in my opinion, you should not kill it just to take pictures, use a plastic bag to trap it in a box, take pictures and remember to release it to balance with nature."

I want to assure everyone, that I do not kill any insect or animal unless there is an immediate threat to my family. I go out of my way to make sure that animals and insects are taken care of and I hope that is recognizable in my many submissions to Project Noah. If it wasn't clear in my original post... I returned from vacation to find this Tiger Beetle dead on my kitchen floor. I did not kill it. I don't really even like posting dead insects/animals but I do so for identification purposes on occasion. This happened to be one of those times. Those who interact with nature should understand, that sometimes we find specimens that are intriguing but succumb to nature on their own.

Thank you!

Oh wow! thank you Ornithoptera! Was uncertain, but this helps.

Thanks aren.roysland! I was trying to get this uploaded before a flight so I didn't have time to research it. Thanks for your help.

Lol! Yes! The one thing I know enough about with mushrooms is not to eat them unless 100% sure. :) thanks again.

Thanks Ornithoptera!!

Thanks ornithoptera!

Thanks arne.roysland. Any idea what you think they were doing? Getting sap? Bark? other pests?

Thanks akmurals, I don't know much about mushrooms.
