But do they make tents?
They do!
They bite through the midrib or vein of a large leaf so that it folds in half to form an inverted-V-shaped shelter. This “tent” provides shelter from sun, wind, and rain.
So cute! What kind of fruit is this little friend eating? I can’t identify it.
I don’t know for sure, but here is what Wikipedia has to say about their diets:
They are primarily frugivores and have been observed carrying small, unripe figs in their mouths. They will also feed on the pericarp of small palm fruits and occasionally common guavas.
