Happy 15. #HexapoDezember. Heute stehe ich, was eigene Fotos angeht, mit leeren Händen da🤫🤔🤷🏻‍♀️ bei den #Dictyoptera. Mit Schaben, Termiten oder Fangschrecken liegt ihr jedenfalls heute richtig 🥰

🎄 An honorary #InsectAdvent mention to the Praying Mantis #Mantodea, featured in the same group #Dictyoptera with unlikely sisters cockroaches & termites, a testament to the diversity of insect evolution.

#FunFact: The #Mantis can turn its head 180°.

Classification of Insects - Dictyoptera

🎄 #InsectAdvent Day 11 - #Dictyoptera 🪳

Only a few species of cockroach become pests in buildings. Termites digest wood, breaking down dead plants and recycling nutrients.

#FunFact: Termites actually evolved from cockroaches.

Late October mantis takes her last breaths. Liberty Island. #dictyoptera #mantodea #mantis

A brown cockroach nymph with darker spotting. A snail to the right.

Tawny Cockroach nymph, tapped from Ivy at the local churchyard this afternoon. Nice find - I haven't seen enough of these this year. #KentNature #Dictyoptera #Cockroach

Lace Border. A white moth with a line of brown patches along the wing margins.

Rufous Grasshopper. A small, brown grasshopper sitting on a scramble leaf. The antennae have white tips. The wings are not fully developed, as this is a nymph.

A very small cockroach nymph. Not well focused, meaning that its features are hard to make out.

A good day joining the Bioblitz at the new North Kent Woods & Downs NNR. Some good finds, inc. Lace Border, Rufous Grasshopper (here, a late instar nymph), & (probably Tawny, but too tiny to be certain) Cockroach nymphs. #KentNature #KentMoths #Orthoptera #Dictyoptera @naturalengland.bsky.social

Delicious meal :]

A little cockroach I accidentally disturbed when I broke apart a log :( I wish I got a photo of just a moment earlier when the little thing tried to hide by crawling underneath a nearby bess beetle XD

Well, it may not have been fresh hatchlings from the ooth I was watching, but I got to see little Carolina Mantis babies this year anyway!
