This #Ichneumon #wasp (Crypteffigies lanius) never recorded in Sussex before, seen by @pkster101.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy in a #Brighton garden in 2022!
Record has recently been confirmed here. They have mainly been seen near Sheffield, about 30 years ago.

The #melodeath band The Halo Effect put out an EP of 5 cover songs called We Are Shadows. It's really good, and the original songs are really good, too, so I put together a playlist of the original songs (on YouTube Music, plz don't hate me): https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPafNdcRyRP7_QPh5pyV-WVERvAXo2stL&si=oJ20oNrfrtfayRjK

The wasps have finally completely left the nest by mid-November. All summer long, there was tons of activity with dozens of wasps buzzing around.

#latevember So... It's come to this. When my timelines are scattered and my brain is going on overdrive, there's only one thing left to do... Art! Sorry for not posting for a few days. Here are the next three drawings. I refuse to not see this thing through to the end, I like practicing art!
Is this what you dream of?
Is there anything past those weary eyes?
You did not choose this, yet you were chosen.
A mote of hope, a mote of will, a rest to come.

Buried Alive - #Arachtober 31
I watched this horrifying scene unfold in a flower pot at a state park.
This Wetland Giant Wolf Spider (Tigrosa helluo) is not dead, only paralyzed by the sting of its hunter, a Rusty Spider Wasp (Tachypompilus ferrugineus).
The wasp is dragging the spider to its grave. There, it will be entombed alive, a living meal for the single wasp larva that will hatch on its body. It will be slowly eaten alive from the inside, in the dark, for weeks.

sometimes, I try and illustrate the living-things I encounter to help fully observe and memorize their identifying features.
This is the latest such illustration, some galls I saw this year:
