Naema, some comments about the whirlybugs (or so I have named them):
I have observed them both in the Forest and in the Jungle, but have not seen them in the Desert nor the Lakes. They come in two colors, both green and brown/orange, and the coloration appears to be coordinated with the season, green being common in the spring and orange in the autumn (if my poor memory remains accurate).
They are always observed swarming around a small area on the ground, which leads me to suspect that they are either attracted to some deposit in the ground, or more likely that they are observed soon after hatching in the spring and in the autumn are observed preparing to mate and lay their seeds in the ground.
With respect,
