Field observations:
| September 17, 2011 |
(Brown Canyon, Baboquivara Mts., Pima Co., AZ)- Lycaenid larvae nearby with tending ants. Zygaenid larvae, similar in morphology, may be receiving biological protection from ants as well. |
| Lycaenids possibly gain from the nearby Zyganid based on the Zyganid's chemical protection (may sequester its own compounds being on Mimosa) |
