Nottinghamshire seal the championship in style, things get very interesting at Southampton and a note about the relegation situation. Since I sent this one live yet another wicket has gone, a stupid piece of batting by Kyle Abbott.

Here's a creepy critter photo dump. These critters were found by the back porch, except the beetle, which was on our raspberry vines.
1)Yellow-spotted Millipede (Harpaphe haydeniana)
2) Beetle (Helops laetus)
3) Western Carpet moth (Melanolophia imitata)
4) Crane fly (Genus Tricyphona)

There were still a few flowering goldenrod plants in the area, and as dusk fell they were swarmed with hyperactive little crane flies, many mating. I'm surprised *any* of my photos came anywhere close to turning out.

#FlyDay: These gorgeous big crane flies (family Tipulidae) were out in force down by the lake last week, hanging out on tree trunks! Check out the brilliant green eyes.

Just disgraceful. Premarital hanky panky is everywhere these days. Why, on my own door I found these two crane flies going at it.

Nice to see a major newspaper pick up entomology news:
“Snow fly in US and Canada can detach its legs to survive, research shows”
“Flies chilled to sub-zero temperatures amputate one or more of their six limbs to protect their internal organs”
Featuring @tuthill no less!
“It’s gruesome”, he says—ah the wonders of the insect world.
The paper: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.05.29.541388v1.full.pdf
By the way John; care to tell us about daddy long legs? To me that’s an opillion, a kind of spider. Not a fly!

Take a trip through the #fly #collection at the #Natural #History #Museum #London with #Erica #McAlister (Senior #Curator, #Flies and #Fleas).
“There are more species of fly within the #United #Kingdom than there are mammal species on the whole planet. A single family of flies—the #craneflies ( #Tipulidae)—includes more described species than all #mammals and #birds combined.”

I have a question about #craneflies for an entomologist. People around here call them "mosquito hawks," due to a folk belief that they prey on mosquitos. Based on what I've read, this is impossible; however, we don't actually know what adult craneflies eat, or even WHETHER they eat. Is this still the case, or has recent research shed more light on this?

This was an interesting find. A Crane Fly spotted at Mount Faber Park, Singapore, on 9 Sept 2018. It was resting below the railing and was pretty big. It's body was a few cm long.
