1. Campsomeriella thoracica (Fabricius, 1787) - (males fighting over a female)

Green Mubazzarah, Al Ain, UAE

ID by Dr. Gerard Schulten, Zoological Museum Amsterdam, Netherlands

"This is a common species in the Sahel, North Africa, the mediterranean and the Gulf States." GS

"Male Campsomerinae actively patrol specific areas searching for females that may emerge from their cocoons in the soil. Since there are more males than females, the female may suffer from overattention." GS
