Addendum to prev post

The sanguinicollis female appears to operate according to the following protocol when not frightened by handling:

- If no or only small patches of direct sunlight are visible anywhere, remain calm/lethargic on host.

- If direct sunlight is shining on body, bask and become slightly more active, but nevertheless remain calm/lethargic on host.

- If no direct sunlight is visible within the enclosure but large quantities are visible outside the window, attempt to fly towards window and become restless.

Keeping the curtains closed until the sun moves into a position where it's directly shining on the beetle seems to keep the animal calm throughout the entirety of the day.
