Two realistic paintings (imperial moth on top, regal moth on bottom) in ornate frames. The pieces are sitting on a distressed white tabletop. There are hints of wood tone showing throughout the white surface, which you can also see behind the insects. This helps to indicate that they have been painted on clear glass, and look like they are floating in the middle of the frames.

Escarabajo de gran tamaño, con un abdomen especialmente largo.

El escarabajo titán (Titanus giganteus) supera los 17 cm de longitud, aunque a cambio tiene alas subdesarrolladas que le impiden volar. Vive en las selvas antiguas del neotrópico, alimentándose sus larvas de la madera podrida. En cambio, los adultos beben y […]

Photo of two Mining Bees (probably of the genus Andrena), on bare soil with stones of various sizes. We are looking at them from above and, in the case of the Bee near the top left corner of the image, a little from the front. The aforementioned Bee is facing towards the rear of the second one, who is facing towards the bottom right corner of the image. Both have blackish heads with large compound eyes, brown, hairy thoraxes, and abdomens which are dark with pale bands around them (largely obscured by the wings folded back across the bodies).

On a small mound of bare, stony soil beside the path leading to the Jon Baldwin Hide were several insect burrows, plus several solitary Wasps and #Bees – including these two Mining Bees (genus Andrena, I think). Brandon Marsh #NaturePhotography thread, post #14. #Insects #Hymenoptera #UKWildlife 🌿

Kenya's queen ants worth $220 each fuel booming global wildlife black market The craze for collecting ants takes Kenya by surprise as smugglers zone in to make a profit.

Living and learning. I am surprised that no ant species are listed on CITES!!

Spotted on the Winter Honeysuckle here… I think the pupal case of a hoverfly, Syrphidae, the larvae of which will get stuck into the aphids.

BSky I need your help. Suggest scale objects for tiny (1-3mm) insects? £1 coin is too big.

Found some very distinct leaf mines on a Honeysuckle plant .I thought at first a moth was responsible but i,m now leaning towards a true fly Chromatomyia Aprilina .The other a small Bee/Wasp of some sort #Bees #Wasps #insects @ianbeavis.bsky.social

In a hyperdiverse group it shouldn’t be surprising that #flies keep evolving new and unexpected strategies… but a new way to fly?

Flying like dandelion seeds (or have you ever seen those wind tunnel experiences where you can try freefall?)

The Bee That Everyone Wants to Save My neighbour has 50 hives, the road has 30 more. That's 4 million honeybees, and not one of them is the bee that actually needs saving.

Fascinating – and alarming 🐝:
