Hobonichi art 19.
Wolfie the wolf spider. I found it about a year ago and kept it because winter was coming. Poor thing was missing two legs and a half but it got by just fine 🤎

A little tachinid fly (possibly Cryptomeigenia) sitting on a leaf. I love the shape and color of the eyes.

Can we please have more of such #ecology #zoology project videos? 😉

Here they are combining #research on #arthropods in mountain areas, #ElevationalGradients, and #DNAsequencing to assess the #SoilFauna in 🇿🇦, old and new one.

I came across this old photo of a handsome tachinid fly that I never identified. I love the stepped geometric black and white pattern on his abdomen. He's sitting on a wingstem (Verbesina alternifolia).

A handsome "swift feather legged fly" (Trichopoda pennipes). See his elegant fringes?

Dipterists definitely missed a good naming opportunity here. He should have been a "Fast Feather Footed Fly."

A female Gymnoclytia on a daisy. The females are black and white. The males are brown and orange.

A bristly tachinid fly visits a purple aster. Flies are underappreciated pollinators.
