this week's feature in #CurrentBiology is about counting #insects. Just how many #species are there, and how on Earth does one arrive at a reasonable estimate for that number? Also: new species discoveries, population declines. https://proseandpassion.blogspot.com/2026/08/how-many-insects-are-there.html

Finally, a #centipede!
People are scared when one of these fellows runs across the floor. However I think they're fascinating. This one here is a smaller species, but its relative, the Mediterraenean banded centipede, can grow to lengths up to ~18 centimetres.

CW: Bee balm now with bee! (Pic of a bumblebee, plus an unknown (to me) insect)
There are always bees in the bee balm – today I got lucky and got pic of one. Here's a bumblebee friend foraging in the sunshine.
Also, a new-to-me insect encounter. Anyone know who this little guy is?
