Abstract
On the invitation of my former student Ruchira Sen, then a postdoctoral fellow working on fungus-growing ants under the mentorship of Ulrich G. Mueller, I visited the University of Texas, Austin, in April 2010, to give a seminar on the Indian paper wasp (Ropalidia marginata). The most memorable experience I had on that trip was to befriend Barrett Anthony Klein, then a PhD student. No one can forget Barrett, even if you had met him only once. I have since met him several times and invited him to visit my laboratory in Bangalore in October 2010. I discovered during our very first meeting that Barrett has two rather unusual passions, both concerning insects: insect-inspired art and insect sleep. I will reserve stories of his interest in insects and art for another occasion and focus here on his adventures with insects in slumber.
