A male Ectemnius cavifrons [1]. For hours he hung at the entrance of the bore hole in the first photo (Section VI, block 12). Every few seconds he would twitch towards the hole. At a moment another Ectemnius appeared from the depths of the borehole in the entrance immediately sparking a fight that was continued rolling on the ground.
