Happy to share the discovery of a new insect-plant interaction from Borneo, where one ant-plant has evolved sharp hooked trichomes to pierce and kill lycaenid caterpillars. However, one specialist can survive and has a counter-defence! doi.org/10.1098/rsbl.2…

Showtime! This photo by Jonah Walker, PhD student here in Zoology, shows a tiny male peacock spider performing an elaborate dance to attract a mate. Jonah describes his fieldwork finding these spiders as like Pokémon Go on a continental scale.
