Two US Citizens Arrested in Australia for Beetle Smuggling Two US citizens arrested in Australia for beetle smuggling. by Vernon Antoine Brou Jr., 74320 Jack Loyd Road, Abita Springs, Louisiana 70420 USA E-mail: [email protected] The men, who were not identified for legal reasons before their first court appearance, each face fines of up to $93,000 and a maximum of 10 years in prison. They were arrested at the Australian Perth airport in April, 2008 for attempting to smuggle 1350 rare dead beetles out of the country as they were about to board a flight to the United States. The two individuals were only identified as by their age: one, 62 years old from Naples, Florida, and the other, 63 years old from Cambridge, Massachusetts. They were charged with exporting a regulated native species without a permit. Australian Customs officers acted on a tip from the public and stopped the men from boarding a flight to the United States. Customs officials allegedly found 1350 mostly native tiger beetles in glass vials of alcohol, concealed in empty plastic yogurt containers in the men’s luggage. A similar incident occurred in December 2002. Customs officials stopped two men from Nara Prefecture, Japan, aged 48 and 33, in an attempt to smuggle more than more than 600 rare stag beetles and 400 other insects out of Australia in cereal boxes and biscuit packets. The incident occurred at Sydney's Kingsford Smith Airport as the men attempted to board a flight to Thailand. About two-thirds of the specimens were alive. The men were charged with matters relating to the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999. Under this law, the maximum penalty for such offences is (A $110,000.00) US $61,589.00 or 10 years' jail or both. The beetles and larvae were taken from Lord Howe Island, a World Heritage Protection Area. The stag beetles were identified as Lamprima insularis, a rare and protected species found only on Lord Howe Island. The stag beetles found on the smugglers may have represented half the total known population of that species. The beetles were assumed destined for Japanese pet shops and collectors. The two Japanese individuals were identified as a high school biology teacher and the pet shop owner. Environmentalists have sounded an alarm over the popular hobby involving beetle collecting in Japan. Large live beetles to keep as pets have even been available to the public in vending machines. Non-governmental groups issued a report in 2002, warning that the unmonitored influx of foreign beetles for the pet trade poses a risk to Japan's insect ecosystem. As the number of domestic varieties lessens, Japanese collectors have turned to foreign fauna, especially big stag beetles. Nearly 700,000 beetles were imported in 2001 alone to Japan. Urban developers are destroying the beetles' woodland habitat and stag beetles are considered threatened around the world. Some Japanese consider foreign beetles more desirable because they are bigger than native species. Male beetles greater than 10 centimeters can easily fetch tens of thousands of dollars. One Tokyo insect dealer told Kyoto's news service that he regularly travels to China on clandestine beetle smuggling services. "Getting out of China with a panda would be impossible," he said. "But smuggling stag beetles in your luggage is a cinch." Though not insect related, I found this report most amusing. In 2002, a Californian faced up to 5 years in prison after he smuggled 3 Fiji Island Banded Iguanas inside his false leg. Prosecutors said J. James stole the banded iguanas while on a visit to the South Pacific island in 2002. He was alleged to have constructed a special compartment inside his prosthetic limb to move the reptiles. In another similar smuggling incident occurring October 2007, Dutch customs officers found 100 dead beetles stuffed with cocaine while examining a parcel from Peru. The little drug couriers' bodies had been slit open and filled with a total of 300 grams of cocaine, with an estimated street-value of (8,000 Euros) US $11,270.00. "This is a very striking method of smuggling. We have never seen anything like this before," said a government spokesman. .

    Wax, Wings, and Swarms: Insects and their Products as Art Media Barrett Anthony Klein Pupating Lab Biology Department, University of Wisconsin—La Crosse, La Crosse, WI 54601 email: [email protected] When citing this paper, please use the following: Klein BA.

DOI: 10.1146/annurev-ento-020821-060803 Keywords art, cochineal, cultural entomology, ethnoentomology, insect media art, silk 1 Abstract Every facet of human culture is in some way affected by our abundant, diverse insect neighbors. Our relationship with insects has been on display throughout the history of art, sometimes explicitly, but frequently in inconspicuous ways. This is because artists can depict insects overtly, but they can also allude to insects conceptually, or use insect products in a purely utilitarian manner. Insects themselves can serve as art media, and artists have explored or exploited insects for their products (silk, wax, honey, propolis, carmine, shellac, nest paper), body parts (e.g., wings), and whole bodies (dead, alive, individually, or as collectives). This review surveys insects and their products used as media in the visual arts, and considers the untapped potential for artistic exploration of media derived from insects. The history, value, and ethics of “insect media art” are topics relevant at a time when the natural world is at unprecedented risk. INTRODUCTION The value of studying cultural entomology and insect art No review of human culture would be complete without art, and no review of art would be complete without the inclusion of insects. Cultural entomology, a field of study formalized in 1980 (43), and ambitiously reviewed 35 years ago by Charles Hogue (44), clearly illustrates that artists have an inordinate fondness for insects.

  • Care Guide Golden Stag Beetle (Lamprima Aurata )
    Care guide Golden Stag Beetle (Lamprima aurata ) Golden Stag Beetles are moderately small but stunning stag beetles. Males usually grow to a length of around 15-20mm, while the smaller females are usually around 12- 15mm. They are related to the well-known Rainbow Stag Beetle (Phalacrognathus muelleri ). They have a satin metallic sheen and stunning colours. The males are a mix of red-gold and green, whilst the smaller females are rich green, with hints of blue and purple. The males have enlarged mandibles typical of stag beetles which are used to battle with rival males. This species is found in coastal forests in southern and eastern Australia from Tasmania to Queensland. These beetles are not regarded as rare but not commonly encountered. They seem to be less frequently attracted to lights than other stag beetle species. While the adults may live several months or longer, much of the life of this species is as a larva deep within the timber of a fallen tree. Golden Stag Beetles typically target the rotting wood of eucalypt trees. The larvae (grubs) will go through three instars before pupating to later emerge as an adult beetle. During the larval stage this species will feed upon on fungus-effected rotting wood, while as an adult the diet changes to a sugar-based diet largely comprising of fruits. © Minibeast Wildlife Care guide Golden Stag Beetle (Lamprima aurata ) Food (adults) : Fruits; banana, mango and apple. Offer small pieces and replace each day to avoid the fruit fermenting. An good alternative to fruit alone is the ‘Stag beetle diet’; (3 parts banana, 1 part Maple syrup, 1 part natural yogurt).

The hours during which the Museum is open to the public have continued to be, as in previous years, from 10 until 5 o'clock (or in summer till 6 0'clock) daily, except on Mondays, when it is closed for the necessary purposes of cleansing, and except on Sundays, when the hours are from 2 o'clock only to 5. The record of the number of visitors in 1887 shows a decrease, the total number being 122,799, as against 127,231 in 1886. The largest attendance on one day was 2,658, namely, on Monday, the 3rd October; and the largest Sunday attendance was 1,233, on the 17th July. The average daily number throughout the year was 330 en week-days and 709 on Sundays. The orderly conduct of the visitors on all these occasions, and the apparently intelligent interest taken by a large portion of them in the exhibits, afford gratifying evidence of their value, as affording not merely amusement but also useful instruction. · 2. The collections are still being increased, mainly by purchases, exchanges, and donations, but also by our collecting and dredging expeditions.

    SORUDIMENTARY IS OUR KNOWLEDGE OF THE COMMON WOMBAT THAT EVEN ITS SEX LIFE WASACOMPLETE MYSTERY UNTIL RECENTLY. WOMBAT SEX BY CLIVE A. MARKS NATURE AUSTRALIA SUMMER 2005-2006 57 HILE MORE NUMEROUS than the other two species of wombat, the title of ‘Common’ Wombat is nonetheless undeserved. It suggests that the biology and behaviour of this species is well known, yet this is far from the case. So rudimentary is our knowledge of the Common Wombat (Vombatus ursinus) that even its sex life was a complete mystery until relatively recently. But in an obtuse if not flippant sort of way, Australians have always nursed a fascination for the sex life of wombats. If only I’d been given a dollar every time I was asked the question: “Is it true that a wombat eats, roots and leaves?” Yet until recently there were no record- ed observations of courtship or mating in wild wombats. Obviously a compre- hensive answer to this question was impossible! ALOVE BITE with chisel-like incisor teeth is the type of foreplay that removes hair and punctures skin. In Australia, while some instances of copulation and ‘mock’ copulation dur- ing ‘play’ had been observed in captive wombats, there were no documented claims of successful breeding. Lack of knowledge about the structure of wom- bat burrows, and few attempts to con- struct appropriate artificial burrow environments in captive situations, seemed to contribute to their poor cap- Attempts to mate wombats in captiv- tures skin.
