  1. "What’s good for #bats and #beetles is also good for trees, soil, water availability and carbon sequestration.

    "Aside from improving the health of Earth, promoting more life means more twittering #birds during the day and more glowing #fireflies at night. Yes, please!"

  12. Wasps really should sue. Hundreds of different insects fake their yellow banding to pretend they can sting.

    This wonderful insect is a Wasp Beetle (Clytus arietis).

  13. Scientists uncover #beetle transport system for newly identified towering nematodes phys.org/news/2026-05-scientis paper: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10

    "In 2025, #Konstanz scientists looked very closely at rotting fruit in local orchards, and observed what no one had before–hundreds of #worms twisting skyward into self-assembled living towers... #nematodes may be trying to hitchhike on #animals to reach new habitats... Now, they identified the carriers of the original worm towers: two sap-feeding #beetles"

  14. Spotted this beautiful beetle today near #Goettingen, #Germany. Pretty sure it's a Pectinate Click Beetle (Ctenicera pectinicornis) or one of its relatives.

  15. 💁🏻‍♀️ ICYMI: 🪲🎨 Jan van Kessel the Elder was a Flemish artist who painted scientifically accurate insects on small #copper plates during the 17th century.

    This National Gallery of Art #video uses his style as inspiration for #crafting intricate clay #insects. You can follow the steps to build detailed miniature #sculptures using clay, wire, and crepe paper.

  16. A great find. This is a Lesser Stag Beetle (Dorcus parallelipedus). The July weather must have tempted it to hatch.

  18. Dung #beetles 🪲🦗🐛 are unsung heroes of ecosystems. If both drought and fire kill off dung beetles, then the Amazon #rainforest is in serious trouble. Help them to survive by going #vegan and #Boycottpalmoil 🌴🪔☠️🤮⛔️ #Boycott4Wildlife @palmoildetectives

  19. These beetles (most likely Eulasia pareyssei) are everywhere in our garden. They seem to loooove yellow flowers … and sometimes, each other. 🤭

  22. #RockportME - #PollinatorFriendly Vs. #Ornamental Flowers

    April 8 @ 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM
    #RockportPublicLibrary

    "#Birds, #bats, #bees, #butterflies, #beetles, and other small mammals are integral pollinators whose natural activities sustain our ecosystems. However, many people fill their gardens with over-hybridized plant varieties that have been bred for their ornamental value. #DoubleBlooms, exotic species, and other engineered qualities — while pretty — create plants that are difficult for all pollinators and can be detrimental to local habitats when cultivated in large numbers (like pollenless sunflowers).

    "Maine Master Gardener Volunteer #JohnFromer will discuss varieties of flowering plants that are both beautiful and valuable to our local pollinators, give examples of non-pollinator friendly flowers, and provide tips for growing these in the #Midcoast region.

    "This talk is part of the Rockport Library’s Spring Horticulture Series in partnership with Merryspring Nature Center."

  24. Stepping off the bus this morning, I nearly stepped on this dead rhinoceros beetle. It's about 35mm long, very shiny. I put it on a concrete wall where some kid can take it home to scare their younger sibling.
