Hello from Monroe

Hey everyone, My name's TopHatAce and I'm a morphology and behaviour researcher. I study how behaviour and appearence correlate in both reptiles and insects, and part of that involves keeping beetles. I mainly keep predatory beetles like Calosoma and Cicindelinae, but I'm interested in anything that's... well, interesting. I've got a lot of reptiles, and own a little educational facility / pet shop in Monroe, NC.

 
Welcome!

Your research sounds very interesting, I like to study beetles for biomimicry purposes. Reptiles are really neat as well.

Can you share any behavior/morphology correlations that you have observed between reptiles and beetles? I would be extremely interested to know. Are you talking color patterns or even more?

 
Welcome to the forum!

Glad to see another new forum member

LarvaHunter, my research is in predatory behaviour, and surprisingly, there are a lot of similarities in hunting and stalking behaviour in predatory carnivores, regardless of species. I'll do up a post once I finish my current project
