@roaldarboel sounds cool about your #sleep project, the field desperately needs insight of sleep neurophysiology in #insect other than #drosophila!
For the #SciArtSeptember prompt “metallic” my linocut Osmia lignaria, the metallic blue orchard mason bee.
We think of bees as living in hives, but these bees live in reeds or natural holes which they divide into chambers with mud walls. We also tend to picture yellow and black stripes, but this small bee is blue to blue-green. 🧵1/2

It is so wonderful to see the gorgeous orange and black Monarch butterflies as they are not as plentiful in recent years. This beauty was sipping nectar from the magenta Buddleia in the summer garden and the morning light was casting a lovely glow on the butterfly and bloom.

Also does anyone know what sort of #insect this is ? It was pretty big, maybe the size of a lighter ? Seen in Santorini. I have never seen anything like this in New Zealand.
It was just hanging out here with its kid on its back for 3 days then one night it flew away.

@dave_heumann @mxtthxw It was busy munching the native lady bugs. This one is an invader in Europe: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonia_axyridis#Worldwide_propagation
And yes, they stink.

On Sunday I watched the praying mantis in my yard eat a bee. I posted the full 27 minute video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzyIGHR1FkU
I set up my camera to film because I knew it would catch something soon, but it moved out of frame when it made the capture. I would have loved to get that part

I haven’t seen as many butterflies lately… Autumn is almost here.

For the #SciArtSeptember theme sweet, my dance of the honeybees.
This is a linocut showing one of the ways the honeybee communicates through dance. A worker bee can return to the hive & through the way it aligns itself with respect to the sun & the honeycomb, the waggles & loops of its movement convey information on the location in terms of distance & direction of tasty flower pollen sources to its fellow bees. #MastoArt

I am wondering if the 'bug' is a parasitic wasp looking to just get around those big hooks long enough to lay an egg. Anybody know more? #insect #parasiticwasp

There were a lot of grasshoppers around Holmes Lake yesterday, too.

Slow motion video of me poking a large rove beetle (Platydracus maculosus). I failed to elicit the defensive secretions. Probably just as well. #insect #nature #beetles #coleoptera #entomology
Platydracus maculosus (Staphylinidae) in a defensive posture, ready to coat me with irritating secretions from glands at the tip of its abdomen. You can find them eating fly larvae at cadavers and cow patties. In flight they do a rather good job mimicking spider wasps (blue wings, jerky movement). #RoveBeetle #insect #nature #beetle #coleoptera #entomology

This tiny rove beetle gave me such an arrogant, threatening look that I said to it, "Well, aren't *you* just the Lord of the Mushrooms today!?" Later, after uploading the pic onto #iNaturalist, some expert informed me that it's in the genus Lordithon. #RoveBeetle #staphylinidae #mushrooms #fungi #insect #entomology #nature #beetle #coleoptera
Found a stump this week with several Zelia lurking about. In at least one species in the genus, females give birth to motile larvae, depositing them at the holes in decomposing wood made by beetles. The larvae then crawl along the tunnels until they find hosts to burrow into. #fly #diptera #zelia #tachinidae #insect #nature #entomology #FlyDay

Beech blight aphid (Grylloprociphilus imbricator) walking on a beech trunk. I think this is a wingpadded (alatiform), fourth-instar nymph, the type that acts as a soldier caste. They attack predators with their stylets and I can confirm that it hurts. #aphid #beech #fagus #hemiptera #insect #nature #entomology
We finally saw 2 Sphinx moth larvae in our Tucson AZ yard this past week. Usually we see more, earlier in the season. Possibly delayed due to our record-hot summer? I drew this for my Perpetual Journal.

The #SciArtSeptember prompt is carmine, a bright red pigment derived from carminic acid, traditionally harvested from cochineal, a sessile parasite on Opuntia cacti in South America, north through to Mexico and the southwest US. They are laboriously collected by brushing them off the pads of prickly pear cacti. The insect makes carminic acid to deter predators but it’s precisely what attracts people,…

I haven't seen many monarch butterflies this year so I spent extra time photographing this beautiful butterfly.
The large and brilliantly-colored monarch butterfly is among the most easily recognizable of the butterfly species that call North America home.

Longhorn Bees have been gathering in groups in our Tucson, AZ, USA yard to sleep on the dried-out flower stems of our Brittlebush. We’ve seen up to 40 of these each night recently so I drew a few of them for my Perpetual Journal this week.

For #SciArtSeptember day 2: battle, it’s my linocut of 2 dangerous invasive beauties & the battle against their spread in eastern North America, the spotted lanternfly & tree of heaven. The Tree of Heaven (Ailanthus altimissa) is a deciduous tree native to NE China & Taiwan, which was foolishly brought to Europe & NA in the 1700s where it as become known as a noxious weed & invasive plant. 🧵1/n

A very beautiful butterfly I saw a few days ago. Looks to be a butterfly of the Pieridae family, maybe a Small White?
Looks like it's drinking some nectar from this flower!
