86 Dr. G. D. H. Carpenter’s Experiments on 
(Note.—Again M, showed strong contrast with M, 
in his opinion of this butterfly.) 
Obs. 825. Sp. 352.—lLycid, Lycus ampliatus: the 
wings and elytra of this beetle were pulled off, the 
body put up to mouth, then put down. 
After these observations M, ate 18 insects of various 
kinds. 
Series X. Obs. 837-868. March 20. At 3 p.m. M, did not 
seem very eager at first, but later became so. 
Obs. 841. Sp. 52.—Lamud, Dirphya similis: a 8. 
M, violently rubbed and pawed this Longicorn on the 
ground and pulled it about, holding it down by the 
antennae and pawing the body with his other hand. 
At length he studied it with great interest, gingerly 
tasted it several times, and finally ate it with 
gusto, 
(Note-—M, behaved to this beetle as if it were 
pseudaposematic; M, (Obs. 98, 99) treated it as 
though synaposematic (see pp. 92, 93, 99). 
Obs. 842. Sp. 350.—Though this mantis was only 
half grown, M, seemed quite afraid of its forelegs. He 
picked it up at once and ate the abdomen; the thorax 
with the struggling forelegs lay on the ground, and M, 
violently rubbed them on the ground before eating 
the whole with gusto. 
Obs. 857. Sp. 381.—Longicornia: a Longicorn 
beetle, dull black with three narrow transverse bands 
and other markings of dull rose colour, somewhat 
aposematic. M, seemed to recognise the typical shape 
of the Longicorn and was very eager for it at first, 
but apparently had not seen its colours. For when I 
put it on the ground it fell on its back, and he at once 
took it and bit off its head and thorax. He then 
looked at it in surprise, took the rest of it up to his 
perch, where he pulled it to pieces, tasted it, but left 
most of it uneaten. 
Obs. 862. Sp. 283.—Lampyrid: M, picked up this 
beetle larva, bit off the end of the abdomen, then put 
down the larva in surprise, looked at it (which he had 
not done before) and left it. 
(Note.—The careful attention paid to this black and 
pink larva after it had been found to be inedible 
suggests very strongly that the monkey was “ learning 
it.” Cp. Obs. 857.)
