Field Notes

Description:

This insects ([ http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/124326003 ]) and this Beetles were in droves feeding of this plant. While the insects of the three first photos rather stay in the flowers of the plant (this "tenon" is actually much of little flowers grouped), the Beetles was in the basis, munching the flowers. The Plant its a "Banana-of-Heath" ("Philodendron bipinnatifidum")

Habitat:

I found these specimens on the garden of my grandfather, in a region of transition between the Cerrado and Atlantic Florest.

Notes:

I identify the Beetles like Females of "Augosoma centaurus", but not sure. And, the insects ([ http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/124326003 ]), I don't ID yet.
