仰向けに引っくり返されるとしばらく擬死(死んだふり)してから起き上がろうとする。必死にばたつかせても短い脚は地に届かない。スロー再生で見ると翅を広げ後転しながら­跳ね起きている。翅の下に隠れている腹部背面はこんな毒々しい色だったのか! 右前胸部に付着した血のような赤は、危険を感じた時に脚の関節から分泌される臭い汁。最後は窓の外へ飛び去りました(仏の顔も三度)。
Japanese biggest ladybird (Aiolocaria hexaspilota) sprang up to its feet after being laid down on its back. Slow-motion replay shows the quick backflip in detail. This ladybird species was, when in distress, known to secrete red stinky repellent from leg joints, and you can see the right side of dorsal prothorax stained bloody. Recorded on early-November, 2006.
Soundtrack (audioswapped): Mike Uva And Hook Boy - Flip Me Over
