Beetles: An Intriguing, Colorful and Documentary World
With over 300,000 species, there are so many colors, shapes and sizes that it is impossible not to be attracted by their beauty. For example in this adventure to Monagas I found some beetles and a female in heat plus a fight between the males for a female, you will see more about it later.
how I was able to capture them in this once in a lifetime opportunity a female in jealousy plus the fight Beetles are impressive for their ability to adapt and survive in hostile environments. that we humans create or destroy their natural environments Learning about them is like discovering a new and exciting world. everything that my camera experienced at that right and indicated moment.
Beetles are famous for their strange horns, which can be a prominent part of their body. But what do they use them for? The horns of beetles are used to defend themselves against predators, such as spiders and birds, and also to catch prey, such as plants and insects and the fungi on dry, old sticks.
Some beetles, such as Glaucopsyche have specialized horns for finding food by scraping the surfaces of trunks to film them so that they can extract food and attract the attention of their mate. Others use them to communicate, tapping against surfaces to produce sounds. It is fascinating to discover the purpose behind these unique structures, if they also use them to win the big battle with other opponents.
Venezuela is a kind country in biodiversity, with a great variety of ecosystems and habitats that are home to different species of beetles. You can find beetles in this opportunity I was in a river in the state of Monagas type jungle with a lot of biodiversity of animals and vegetation plus its waters, cold from this great adventure outside of caracas .as usual and willing new adventures both in the Avila and nationally if I reactivated again I show them .
Estrus in a female beetle can vary depending on the species and the conditions encountered. In general, estrus can last from minutes to hours or even days. Some beetles, such as Glaucopsyche , may be in heat for only a few minutes, while others, such as Desmoides spp. may be in heat for several days.
In some species, the heat can be as brief as a couple of minutes, while in others, it can last several weeks.As you will see my pictures the smell for the males was impressive even in one of the pictures you can see , the female giving the order for them to fight for her .As giving them the orders to start fighting she enjoyed it until one of the two wins and out for her already .
In the beetle world, love is serious business. When a male beetle finds a female he likes, a wild battle breaks out between them to win her heart. Only one of the two will win, although the one who lost fell and tried to fight again, but it was too late as they mated and at the end of the fight the beetle took her away.
Male beetles have a special way of fighting, using their management bone structures and their powerful starting power to defeat their rivals. The female beetle, for its part, will choose the winner of the fight to be the comrade.For that as I commented at the beginning its sharp horns , longer and stronger is that it makes its sexual power since in the female those horns do not like or use , only to fight and eat .
This behavior is known as “mating struggle” and is a common part of the beetle world. The males fight to win the attention of the female and prove their worth as a mate. When I saw them, the female would give them instructions on how to win her love from afar, but she would also give them a sexy dance or her irresistible scent would be irresistible to them.
In short, the struggle for love between beetles is a natural and exciting process that involves competition between males and the survival of the species. If it is as it is revealed in the photographs, you can enjoy it as well.
Mating between beetles is a natural and exciting process that involves the union of a male and female to produce offspring. The duration of mating can vary depending on the species and the conditions, but generally lasts a few minutes or hours. For example this was something like 30 minutes and I could not move from the place where I was taking these pictures, something long but exciting for me because it is the first time I see something like this kind of documentary.
In some cases, mating can last up to several days, as in the case of beetles living in cool and humid areas. In other cases, mating may be later, as in the case of beetles living in hot and dry areas.NI talk about the humidity and heat that is in this river or place as I am not so used to the heat and humidity , it must be the age already .
In general, mating between beetles is a natural and exciting process that involves the union of a male and a female to produce offspring, since it takes 8 years for the eggs or brood to grow and then die and continue from generation to generation, I hope you like my little photographic documentary of the beetle.
