Description: From Michael Merchant
...Having filmed them on every sunny day since early April of this year, keeping detailed notes as to their behavior, it seems to me they have a cycle of behavior which they follow, at least in this area. In early April, only larger rods were captured in the camera traps, rods between 2 to 3 feet in length. The activity level at the beginning of May indicated perhaps a breeding swarm, followed in mid-June by swarms of "neonates/babies" that seem to be looked after by pairs of adults.
