  • Tiger beetle (Therates sp.). Sarawak, Malaysia (Borneo).
    cld1604624.jpg
  • During mating, the male tiger beetle uses his mandibles to grasp the female at the rear of her thorax in a groove called the 'coupling sulcus'. The contours of this groove correspond only to the mandibles of a male of her own species, and prevents interspecific breeding by allowing the female to throw off a male of another species. Danum Valley, Sabah, Malaysia (Borneo).

  • Therates spectabilis. Sarawak, Malaysia (Borneo).
    cld2208757.jpg
  • This predaceous ground beetle (Lioptera plato) exhibits a distinctive warning color pattern which is commonly repeated among many different species of beetles (including a commonly associated fungus beetle Epicaustes) that all share a similar habitat niche. Because all species appear to share a distasteful chemical defense this may be a possible example of Mullerian mimicry. Danum Valley, Sabah, Malaysia (Borneo).
