myrmepropagandistWe interrupt your regular scrolling for this important video of Charidotella sexpunctata the ruby gold tortoise beetle.
Look at how this little creature places it's little feets* with such care. I wonder if, like ants, they have little sticky pads that must be activated and deactivated for traction?
The video is by Andreas Kay who does excellent macrophotography.
*I know "feet" is plural for foot, but if the foot is very cute the proper term is "feets" or "footies"
