Mini Profiles: Berkeley Beetle

Yandere type: Possessive   

Traits: Manipulative, Controlling, Clingy, Stalker, Worshiper   

Is it Instant love or one that grow over time:  

He falls for them rather quickly from the first time he sees them. 

Delusional level (0-10):  

10, he was in his own world before his darling and he will still be there after them. 

How will do they hide their yandere side:  

 It does slip out here and there but he can usually cover it quickly enough for his darling not to notice.  

Danger level (0-10):  

4, a lot of what he says stays as threats but there are rare times when he will act on them if everything else he tries fails.

If you saw my video on Tuesday, then you know that there’s an evolutionary reason that beetles are attracted to coontie. Furthermore, this plant is the larval host for the atala butterfly and echo moth. But what about all these other insects I saw on the coontie?!

🦋

Weirdly enough, I couldn’t find many sources talking about that. UF IFAS had a brief mention of the fact that it attracts birds and the atala butterfly, but nothing about any other insects. 🐝 A Berkeley blog post mentioned that cycads evolved to be pollinated by beetles and small bees, but it didn’t make mention of the larger bees, wasps, and flies that I saw all over this small stretch of coontie.

🪰

So here’s what I’d say is happening: although coontie doesn’t produce flowers, the pollen it produces must be enough to entice a large and varied collection of pollinators—especially this time of year when fewer flowering plants are in bloom.

🌱

Something I love about ecology is that the natural world is SO VAST, and there is SO MUCH information that is either undiscovered or undocumented. It’s so exciting to be making these observations, knowing that the bees are buzzing around whether or not we humans understand why.

Round 2

[fuyuoh3]

how old do you think Berkeley Beetle could be?

Late 30s early 40s

He's an established performer and quite popular in the beetle crowd so I think that makes him a bit older.
