This site is maintained as an archive of articles, field trip summaries, photographs and other information of interest to members of the group.

In the eye of the beholder, mimicry in insects. ENHG Al Ain Chapter

At times, all is not as it may seem when we look at insects; bees turn out to be flies, flies that look like wasps don't sting, and what looks to be an ant is an ant-mimicking spider - but why? With examples from both the UAE and the wider world, explore some of the mimicry that exists in insects in this short lecture by Dr. Brigitte Howarth.
