🪳 Graphosome italien 🇮🇹

Punaise arlequin (Graphosoma italicum), aux couleurs et motifs inconfondables. Plutôt sudiste, elle remonte vers le nord et est présente partout en France. Grande fan des Ombellifères 🥕 , on la voit abondamment en fin d'été, début d'automne. Surtout dans les milieux chauds et secs.

Punaise arlequin, rayée noir et rouge. Deux couleurs renvoyant à la toxicité pour ses éventuels prédateurs. Elle est posée à l'extrémité d'une branchette, le fond de l'image est un flou de couleurs diverses (marron, vert, rouge...).

ein eher kleiner schmetterling sitzt mit hochgeklappten flügeln zwischen grünen blättern und gräsern auf einer rosa blüte. die flügelunterseiten sind braun meliert, sehen aus wie aus sandstein und zeigen sieben kleine creme-weiße kreise mit jeweils einem schwarzen ring darin, in zweier- und dreiergruppen.

There are few soil animals as adorable as springtails!

This Platunurida sp. is a cousin of the famous 'giant' springtails in New Zealand. Instead of colourful spines, it has a flattened body, so it can squeeze into cracks in decaying logs, where it lives. They're surprisingly fast at escaping into the cracks, so it's difficult to get a good photo of them!

📸 Punaise au studio 📸

Rhyparochromus vulgaris, potentiellement visible toute l'année. Polyphage, elle se nourrit de graines dans les parcs, jardins, prairies....
Celle-ci se baladait chez moi...capture , photos en boîte à lumière 💡 , et relâchage en extérieur ...une vie de top modèle entomologique 😀

Punaise marron bariolée , avec de grandes taches noires sur les ailes. Les pattes sont bicolores rouge et noire. Elle se présente dans un environnement tout blanc car prise en photo dans une boîte à lumière.

wenn schon für den #DailyBug gerade keine aktuellen fotos rein kommen, nehme ich wenigstens eins das auch im dezember (aber '24) entstanden ist.

fenstermücke der gattung sylvicola, welche art genau ist nicht zu sagen, ich zitiere: "Possibly S. fenestralis but could also be S. cinctus or female S. zetterstedti. The differences between these species are only in the structures of the genitalia"

Collage showing insects attracted to light and automatically imaged 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours and 6 hours after sunset in Aranda, ACT, Australia on the night of 6 to 7 Dec 2025. The image includes four smaller images collected around the listed times. Each image shows a section of sheet with a variable number of insects attracted to UV and visible light. Number and variety depends on time of year and conditions during the given night. The image is also labeled with basic details of the associated weather and moon phase.

Does anyone know why scuttle flies (Phoridae) have these aggressive/well-developed maxillary palps?
#Diptera #Phoridae #entomology #question

@BobLefridge Me too. It turns out it’s commonly called “bubbling” and lots of bees do it. The Hyleas bees I saw yesterday were sitting on leaves in the sun by the flowers and slowly drawing the nectar bubble in and out of their mouth.

I found this recent review paper on the behaviour. “ Nectar concentrating has various purposes, including preparation for long-term storage in hives, modification before adding to larval provisions, removal of excess water for efficient storage in the crop, thermoregulation, and potentially for nest construction.”

RE: https://mas.to/@Jgbird/115673483233946219

Probably not bees. Likely to be wasps such as yellow jackets. #Entomology

Scharlachroter Plattkäfer

#insects #insekten #krabbeltierchen #kaefer #bug #bugstodon #beetle #AuwaldRunde #RoteListe #nature #biodiversity #entomology

auf einer grau verwitterten holzoberfläche krabbelt ein auffällig roter käfer länglicher bauform. die deckflügel sind abgeflacht, etwas metallisch glänzend rot, leicht längsgerillt, hinten abgerundet, aber vorne am übergang zum mittleren körperteil völlig gerade, rechtwinklig abgegrenzt. das mittlere körpersegment und der kopf sind etwas dunkler rot und irgendwie knubbelig, das mittelteil hat eine eingedrückte rinne oben in der mitte. es ist schmaler als der hinterleib mit den deckflügeln, auch ein wenig schmaler als der kopf, der trapezförmig nach vorne zuläuft und dunkler wird, die mundwerkzeuge sind fast schwarz. auch die beine und fühler sind schwarz.

Here are some of the insects I photographed on my weekly "run" through Christchurch city, NZ, today. I say "run" because I carry a camera and there are often good excuses to stop and photograph critters.

There was an admiral caterpillar eating European nettles (probably a yellow admiral but a bit young to be sure): https://inaturalist.nz/observations/329672161

European woolcarder bees are active again now, and they prefer purple flowers, so there are lots on the purple toadflax flowering in the city: https://inaturalist.nz/observations/329672164

Several of the flowering NZ flaxes had native Hyaeus masked bees on the them. I'm not sure why they regurgitate balls of nectar. https://inaturalist.nz/observations/329672170

The iridescent long-legged Parentia flies were out on the prowl looking for something smaller than them to catch and eat: https://inaturalist.nz/observations/329672177

A photo of my handing hold a nettle leaf with a small, black spiky caterpillar. It's probably an Australasian yellow admiral, since NZ red admirals don't like this host plant as much, although the two species are hard to tell apart when this young.

A photo of a yellow and dark grey bee visiting an inflorescence of small purple flowers.

A photo of a small black bee with yellow markings on its face. It's sitting on a lead and it's got a ball of nectar in its mandibles that it was drawing in and out of its mouth (why I don't yet understand).

A photo of a small, long-legged fly with iridescent green body and an iridescent sheen to its wings. These little flies are predators of other even smaller insects.

There are dozens of Inuit words for snow. The Japanese have 2000 for rain - Miya Ando's Dictionary of 2,000 Japanese Rain Words.

🔎 Punaise du vendredi 🪳

Troilus luridus, espèce discrète en expansion. Prédatrice de larves molles, on reconnaît son régime alimentaire à sa tête carrée large qui abrite un rostre puissant pour perforer ses proies.

De couleurs ternes , elle peut être confondue avec d'autres espèces plus courantes. L'anneau clair, à l'extrémité du segment 4 de ses antennes toute noires, est la signature de l'espèce.
