Stopped at Kendalwood Park before the Dade Native Plant Workshop. The topic of the month was hammock grasses and sedges so I figured I could get some basketgrass here and look out for some other species.
All of my observations from today:

Captured this video yesterday of this species ovipositing. My understanding is that the host plant(s) are not well documented so logging this to demonstrate that it will use Viburnum obovatum.

Los jumiles son un tipo de insecto que se consume en algunas regiones de México, incluyendo la ciudad de Taxco. Se trata de una tradición gastronómica que se remonta a la época prehispánica y que se mantiene viva en algunas comunidades. Los jumiles son considerados una fuente importante de proteínas y nutrientes en la dieta de las personas que los consumen. Se pueden preparar de diversas formas, como en salsas, guisos o simplemente fritos. Aunque no son comunes en todas las regiones de México, los jumiles son valorados por su sabor y propiedades nutricionales.

This was observed falling from the canopy in a slow circular motion (about a 1 meter diameter circle). The two halves in the picture here connected together until it landed. We were told by a Waorani that it was a parasite, but don't think so.
