  1. β€œRobber Fly”

    Is that close enough? πŸ˜…

    Though it doesn't look like a standard fly, the Robber Fly is actually a fly.

    The sheer size of the insect can alarm people unfamiliar with it, but the loud buzzing it creates by furiously beating its wings can be more disturbing.

    Flying insects like wasps, bees, beetles, and even other flies are all…

  6. πŸ’πŸ»β€β™€οΈ ICYMI: πŸ”¬πŸŒΈ Japanese #nature photographer Pendora (ぺんどら) captures tiny globular #springtails measuring around 0.3 mm in length.

    These wetland micro-arthropods display face-to-face courtship interactions and use a spring-loaded tail organ called a furcula to execute high-speed jumps that look like #teleportation.

  10. πŸ’πŸ»β€β™€οΈ TIL: πŸ›©οΈπŸͺ° Male #dragonflies engage in aerial dogfights to defend territory, using simple visual rules like fighter pilots.

    Researchers in the #UK used stereoscopic cameras to reconstruct 3D flight paths of the scarlet Trithemis aurora dragonfly. The #insects pull up to 6 Gs and compete for tail chase positioning rather than intercepting like they do with prey.

  11. Ancient #fossil sheds big light on #evolution enigma, solving a 100-year arthropod mystery

    "#Helmetia expansa belongs to a rare group of early #arthropods called concilitergans, close relatives of #trilobites. Unlike trilobites, concilitergans lacked calcified exoskeletons, so their remains only fossilized under exceptional conditionsβ€”like those in the 508-million-year-old #BurgessShale of Canada, where even soft tissues like guts, legs, and gills were preserved."
