| 説明 | Creophilus erythrocephalus - Rove beetleWe purchased some chook manure from a Poultry shed and brought some of these beetles home with us. Australian Museum has this to say about them:"Devil's Coach-horse Beetle, Creophilus erythrocephalus, is a common predator of carrion, and with its bright red head, is a very visible component of the fauna of corpses in Australia.Adults are early visitors to a corpse and they feed on larvae of all species of fly, including predatory fly larvae. They lay their eggs in the corpse, and the emerging larvae are also predators. Creophilus erythrocephalus has a long development time in the egg, so it is common during the later stages of decomposition. As well as consuming maggots, they can also tear open the pupal cases of flies, so there is sufficient food to sustain them at a corpse for long periods." ~15mmI have been noticing things (insects) being brought in with other supplies. eg wasps on fire woodPhoto: Fred |
