Sunflower etc. project, cont.

Some (perhaps all) the beetles I released on Saturday are still alive and eating, because I resighted them doing so. Good for them. I released some more today.

Also put some sunflower micro-weevils (Spastonyx?) in there (fate unclear because no resightings, but they're a species not prone to flying so they're probably still in there) and a single Cryptocephalus sanguinicollis sanguinicollis (groomed for 10-ish mins and then flew away, unsure whether it returned or not).

Update: weevils have been resighted on diff plant. Unsure if same individuals or naturally arrived ones.
