suspicious dance of death



suspcious dance of death 

my mind- bending matter

demagogic tube or average element 


Moth to a light

you know what is a suspicious dance of death? 
bullfrog pasir ris Beach Park, croaking their love songs  so loud, the owl knows which is the juiciest 

or the ant that takes to the sky for just one night, mate and fall to their death 


suspicius dance of death 

the moth dances near the flame 
is this the dance of love or the dance of death 

flying ants 
male and female queen 
to mate across coloniesenlarge their gene pool and then their wings fall off

During this brief, once-in-a-lifetime mating period, a queen usually mates with several males.

Once the queen has found a suitable site, she digs herself an underground chamber and lays her first few eggs, which she rears to adulthood. She won't eat for weeks - not until her first brood of daughter workers are ready to forage for food for her. 

The stock of sperm the queen received during the nuptial flight will enable her to lay fertilised eggs for the rest of her lifetime. And she has many egg-laying years ahead of her, often reproducing until a colony is thousands strong (large nests can have more than 20,000 workers).
