  2. PV #beetle (not?) chilling in the sun. On the same day, a golden, ca. 10cm large lizard was also enjoying the heat of the panel.

  3. Not a #moth post.
    An 'everything else you get in a moth box' post
    Often a moth box has the odd interesting non-moth creature. Two nights ago, I also had these four creatures:

    1) Harlequin ladybird
    2) Weevil
    3) Rove beetle (possibly Brown-Legged Rove Bettle)
    4) An enormous Great Diving Beetle (which promptly scuttled off after wakening)

    Ooh! But surely #1 is the Great diving beetle! As always!

    I'll never forget the day that I finished filling my new garden pond and one whizzed by my ear and splashed into the pond.

  5. This talented little pollinator is a flower beetle. I carved a Vancouver flower longhorn beetle (Evodinus monticola vancouveri) and the wild carrot flower last fall for the ‘Meet the Pollinators’ board book, but I thought I would make a small edition available in my shop and because I am thinking about small 8” x 8” prints for the TOMPE 2026 show.

  6. Bees, don’t be bamboozled! 🐝⚠️ European oil #beetle larvae synthesize floral scents to trick solitary #bees into becoming unwitting Uber drivers to their nests - where the tiny hitchhikers then feast on bee eggs & food stores meant for the bee's brood , @MPI_CE study finds. Researchers believe this may be the 1st known example of an animal chemically mimicking a plant to manipulate pollinators🌸🐝 mpg.de/26863477/oil-beetle-lar
