También llamada Catarina mexicana combate plagas como pulgones, cochinillas y otros insectos que representan amenaza a algunos cultivos, por eso en algunas culturas son asociadas a la buena suerte, ya que eso representaba cosechas saludables y por tanto prosperidad económica en sociedades agrícolas. Actualmente se investiga si pueden estar siendo amenazadas en el país por la Catarina Arlequín proveniente de Asia; además se han exportado a Israel para combatir la plaga en cultivos de nopales de ese territorio con buenos resultados.

There were various sizes up to 4mm long on an Acacia mearnsii less than a meter high. I counted 33 a couple of days later when the largest had grown to 6mm.

About 10mm long. At first I thought it was an adult Leaf Beetle then noticed it did not have any elytra and was in fact soft bodied. Perhaps a larva of one.

On Oct 2nd I was sweep netting at Overton Ridge Park and captured this caterpillar:
https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/17427773
When I got home, I realized from the photos that it was parasitized, so I googled it and came up with an ID. Here's that observation:

TODAY I was out hunting mushrooms and came across this same caterpillar species with pupae of the same parasitoid! What are the chances this is the SAME CATERPILLAR 12 days later???

This one crawled out of its salp and then swam around trying to get into another (occupied) salp.

Clung to the beak of a Whimbrel that was foraging in the seaweed, the bird could not dislodge it, after a couple of minutes the isopod dropped off. The Whimbrel continued to feed with the isopod on board.

Flinders Island cave-slater Echinodillo cavaticus. The world has only two known species of the very distinctive Echinodillo cave-slaters. One is found on the Marquesas Islands in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. This other species is known only from a small cave in southern Flinders Island, where its entire global range is measurable in square metres. We found this one during our Bush Blitz on Flinders Island in March 2014.

The prettiest one of the day! Freshly molted, it will turn greyish later on.
NOTE: A permit is required to enter the water or sweep it with a net. Fortunately we were deputized by none other than the author of a field guide to the area (has a permit and was our supervisor). She was coaching a team from US Fish & Wildlife Service. All my IDs for the water creatures are from her. Everyone was super kind, and I greatly appreciate their including and educating us for the morning.
