Schwarzer Moderkäfer / Devil's Coach Horse Beetle / Ocypus Olens

Fast long black beetle 🦊
Goes into a defensive stance where it lifts its tail if approached, which is quite interesting to see. It doesn't actually harm anyone, it just wants you to go away

Grace Weyman-Heller found evidence for social learning in cockroaches! But limited effects of existing social relationships on their following of a demonstrator. Interesting questions and future directions for how to quantify cockroach relationships.

Great talk from Emily Laub on female paper wasps choosing other females as cooperative partners. Choice matters! And they evaluate partners before founding nests. Are they looking for overall better partners? More compatible partners? We don't know yet. 🤔
