Here's one of the last images I snapped of Breadsticks back on March 17. They were rattling a lot that day, which some believe could be a sign of appreciation. Here they are nibbling at a flowering bud on the tree. The only images taken after this are of them just making the noise in the same position. They're just about a year old so far too young to have found a mate to gone and had eggs with. I've come close to breaking down over the thought of them being finally being gone but I'm starting to accept it.

Владелец живой защиты - Краб Дориппе.

Крабы Дориппе считаются относительно древни­ми («примитивными») крабами и относятся к семейству​ Dromid­ae. Краб Дориппе чаще всего встре­чается в Карибском бассейне и прилегающих районах Тихого оке­ана , в частности - возле Панамского кан­ала . Обитает на глубинах от 1 до 15 м, обычно на илистом или илисто–песчаном грунте.  Питается различными беспозвоночными, полуразложившимися остатками растений, рыб и других животных. 

Размер тела краба Дориппе до 5 см. Первые две пары ходильных ног хорошо развиты и используются для передвижения.Задние ножки Дориппе с эволюцией истончились и скрючились, специально для того, чтобы быстро закидывать на спину все что попадется. За эту привычку его прозвали старьевщиком. Чего только не увидишь на нем – крабы таскают на себе медузу Касс­иопею ( и очень часто на этой медузе​ ,, катаются ,, - пото­мство этих крабов , - на очень поздней стадии личинки (мегал­опа). Также встречаются Дориппе с морскими ежами на панцире. Бывает , что эти кра­бы защищают себя рак­ушками моллюсков , которые они используют в качестве щитов. В минуту опасности, краб дориппе подставляет врагу свою спину, чтобы недруг отвлекся на пустышку и дал время быстро покинуть поле боя.

The owner of the living defense is Crab Dorippe.

Dorippe crabs are considered to be relatively ancient (“primitive”) crabs and belong to the family Dromidae. The Dorippe crab is most commonly found in the Caribbean and surrounding areas of the Pacific Ocean, particularly near the Panama Canal. It lives at depths from 1 to 15 m, usually on muddy or muddy-sandy soil. It feeds on various invertebrates, half-decomposed remains of plants, fish and other animals.

The body size of the Dorippe crab is up to 5 cm. The first two pairs of walking legs are well developed and are used for movement. The hind legs of Dorippe have become thinner and curled up with evolution, specifically in order to quickly throw anything that comes across onto its back. For this habit he was nicknamed the ragpicker. You won’t see anything on it - crabs carry the jellyfish Cassiopeia (and very often ride on this jellyfish - the offspring of these crabs - at a very late stage of the larvae (megalope). You can also see Dorippe with sea urchins on its shell. It happens that these crabs protect themselves with mollusk shells, which they use as shields. In a moment of danger, the dorippe crab exposes its back to the enemy so that the enemy is distracted by the dummy and gives time to quickly leave the battlefield.

Reuploading this after a quick edit. I revisited a photo of Oregano and really digging this edit I have for it. Just messing around. I'll probably edit it more another time to get the most out of this picture.
