I'm glad to hear from other catters who take an interest in this kind of thing. I think what amazes me most is the two pillars which hold up the roof. How did that little bird do that?

There are other species of bowerbirds, including one with blue feathers that collects blue objects. If you google 'bowerbird image,' you will find more pictures.

Now here's a new challenge. Thirty years ago, I read about the flatid (or flattid?) bug from Africa. For camouflage, it is said, a colony of them will arrange themselves to look like a flower. I thought it strange at the time that nobody had taken a picture of that.

Yesterday, something reminded me, and I searched the web for a picture of flatid bugs imitating a flower. No picture! What do you think, is it a myth? Can somebody who is better than I at using the Web find a picture of flatid bugs imitating a flower?

Further views of bowerbirds are also welcome, of course.
