One of these aggregations is found year after year on the base of the same palm tree, and remain there, for months during the dry season (Roubik &amp; Skelley 2001). Such congregations of specimens have allowed entomologists to study various aspects of the biology and physiology of this species such as biochemistry, genetics, and allometry (Denlinger 1994; Laurent
