A luminous green caterpillar with a spiky tail horn is covered with the cocoons of parasitic wasps that have fed internally before emerging and spilling a cocoon attached to their host's back. Openings near the tops of the cocoons reveal that the adult wasps have emerged.

A crane fly with banded brown/tan banded legs and a yellow abdomen dangles from the leaf of a forest plant. Pseudoscorpions are attached near a joint on one meso- and one metathorasic leg. They use the fly to harmlessly carry them over the landscape (this phenomenon is called Phoresy).

Released the last #monarchbutterfly. Only found 3 #caterpillars this year. This one took off and came back to the garden. Guess it’s not ready to continue its journey, yet.

Despite extensive research, the question remains unresolved due to conflicting findings and me...

Is it possible for spider egg sacs to contain antimicrobial factors? Why is answering this question so important and urgent? – All of this is covered in my latest scientific article.

Following on from finding a Toadflax Brocade cocoon on the house wall, I’ve found another one. And here it is, on the same mortar course and around a metre along.

I can tell by the response times and refresh times that @bsky.app is getting another spike... possibly conservatively.

Logging off now to do my part in making way for the incoming #cocoons... wonder what they'll hatch into? :)
