They didn’t mention pollinating wasps though.

@nev wow, a cool video!!

I’ve seen a few that were in the bale of hay we used to get for our rescued house rabbits.

#pseudoscorpions #arachnids #bugsAreCool

Three panels of photos of pseudoscorpion: the top photo shows the teeny arachnid next to a toothpick, it’s about a size of a sesame seed; the bottom two photos are closeups that show the long pincers.

The paperWasps are doing well.

Inside of the wasp house, seen from the bottom opening. In addition to the original hive, they’ve started a new one on the side of the wooden box. A wasp is sleeping on it. Another wasp is sleeping on the top of the back wood panel. The light is leaking through the joints of the box at the top.

Ich habe einen seltsamen #Bug zu eurer Unterhaltung 😺
Wenn ich in der #Wikipedia App ein Bild beim scrollen verschiebe, bleibt dieses Bild anschließend halbtransparent auf dem Bildschirm hängen, auch auf dem Startbildschirm.
Der Bildschirm wird dabei komplett irresponsive.
Der einzige Weg da raus ist, das Gerät mit dem an/aus Knopf über sehr langes drücken neu zu starten.
Es ist ein Moto G5+

Screenshot aus der Wikipedia app. Es ist ein Foto von einem coolen Vogel zu sehen, das Foto ist klein und halbtransparent ein zweites Mal am rechten Rand festgeklebt.

@futurebird I’m assuming this is also a carpenter ant? This one was in Medford, MA.
Ants make a wonderful subject to film around. 🥰🐜✨

#MiddlesexFells #ants #bugsAreCool

@futurebird Hello. I used to feature ants in my short video loops on occasion. Some ants are so lucky to live in beautiful places. Fascinating creatures.

If you can tell us anything about this little ant, that’d be wonderful. Thank you. (More info on AltText :)

Long legged fly? in February in Massachusetts?? There’s still snow on the ground. I suppose s/he could have hatched indoors around my wintering trees and plants…

#FlyDay #bugsAreCool #ハエはいいぞ

The same teeny long legged fly on the window of the kitchen storm door. The tip of my finger is at the bottom of the square photo for size. The blurred evergreen tree and a little blue sky are seen through the window.

It’s been a rather warm November, the white butterfly caterpillars that hitchhiked on the arugula in the community garden were able to fly away last week.

BGM: I Could Be Happy ♪ 🦋🤍🦋✨

Closeup of a bright yellow marigold flower with a tiny black and yellow fly on it. A smaller version of the bee-mimic fly I posted earlier.

Sunny and 18℃, bugs are out

#FlyDay #bugsAreCool

Closeup of a bright yellow marigold flower with a drone fly dining on it. The fly has a bee-mimic color body and large black eyes, its wings spread out like that of a paper airplane. Cool looking fly.

Another warm day. 🌼🐝💕🌿

bumblebee: *slurps*

Closeup of an eastern bumblebee on the bright yellow marigold flower, sipping.

um… I’m watching a pair of #bumblebees mating right now. 🤯🥰💘🐝💞🐝💖💕 They’ve been at it for almost an hour.

#bumblebee #bugsAreCool #bees

On one of the step tiles by the lawn, two bumblebees are mating. The new queen is on her back, clutching a strand of grass with the first sets of legs, on the left. The smaller drone on the right is right side up. Their bottoms connected, he’s gently rocking.
The closeup is taken from the side, close to the ground, with the mowed grass next to them. And beyond, there are houses in a distance. A little cloudy sky peeks between the houses.

A little #wasp sipping some apple juice 🍎✨🍃
Priocnemis ?

Btw, it’s a piece of organic Cosmic Crisp apple.

Closeup of a beautiful white (with a hint of pale lavender) moth perched (open wings) on the waxy green leaf by the trailside in the forest. The background is blurred.

Sleeping beeauty 💕🐝💤💚

#sleepy #bumblebee #bugsAreCool

Closeup of a chunky n fluffy bumblebee sleeping on the purple hyssop flowers—each flower is small, and they bloom in clusters, like mint flowers. The leaves also resemble mint’s.

DYK bumblebees can fly backward?

The mosquito control has arrived at the community garden at last! 💙🤍💚 Such a beautiful day. ✨

#dragonfly #GardenPlot14 #bugsAreCool #insects

Closeup of a green dragonfly is about to take off from the tip of a bamboo garden stake high up in the air. The backdrop is some blurred fluffy white summer clouds in the blue sky.

I wish I knew what was going on between the paperWasp and the hoverFly-like wasp. The paperWasp (on the right) seemed to be guarding the okra flower bud while the other wasp seemed to be bothering.

[edit: originally I assumed the other wasp to be a hoverFly.]
