Ladybird fly (Gymnosoma rotundatum), a species of parasitoid fly, lays its eggs on stink bugs. The larvae are able to perforate the bug's cuticle to parasitise them. This is an environmentally-friendly way of controlling the stink bugs.

Le Gymnosome arrondi, espèce de mouche parasitoide pond ses œufs sur des punaises. Les larves perforent leur cuticule pour les parasiter. Un moyen écologique pour réguler les punaises.

With their magnets hidden in their bodies, these moths are perfect to decorate any surface that can hold them!
🪡 I make every magnet by hand; they’re my own creations and I pour so much love into them! I hope you love them too!

You can adopt them individually or as a set for a small discount! evanskyarts.com/en/products/mo 🦋

One moth has its wings down and is pale yellow, green and brown. The other has open pink and purple wings and body, yellow antennas and yellow spots on its wings.
