Drama in the urban garden!
Just looking in our little pond to see what’s happening when I spot something that looked like a #damselfly dead on the surface.
Touched it and it moved so I lifted it out on my finger.
That’s when I noticed it had a very emaciated abdomen. With a dead spider hanging off it!
Edit (I’m stupid).
Mrs Runt pointed out that the damselfly had probably just emerged from the pond and that the exuvia was still hanging on. Doh!

Decided to place the damsel in distress in our young birch tree so I could have a better look.
Yes, definitely had clearly been predated by the spider, but (and I’m surmising here) had flown into the pond maybe to drown its attacker?
Is that a known observed strategy? Any #entomologists or damselfly specialists who can add to this thought? Or am I simply anthropomorphising the situation?
Or had it just flown off in panic and crashed into the pond?
It’s a jungle out there!

The first track on my new #album was written as a theme tune for the sentiment against AI slop in the #FAWM Slack channel, where (for reasons which will remain obscure) tools like suno are referred to as cupcakes. Hates them, we does.
For the #entomologists out there: the buzzing noise that shifts from right to left and back is a slowed-down sample of a Death's-head hawkmoth, acherontia atropos. Because of course it is; that's how I roll.

Any #entomologists out there who might be able to identify this #butterfly There's evidence from the photo history that it's a Red Admiral but I keep thinking it looks far more like a heliconius melpomene, the Postman butterfly.

Absolutely delighted that my #nasturtium is getting decimated by #caterpillars. Enough left for my salads and feeding the next generation of #wildlife. I think these are #large white as there's one often around. Any #entomologists out there? 🧪 #bloomscrolling #garden #flowers #nature

‘Half the tree of life’: #ecologists’ horror as #nature reserves are emptied of #insects
A new point in history has been reached, #entomologists say, as #climate-led species’ collapse moves up the food chain even in supposedly protected regions free of #pesticides
The declines witnessed by Janzen and others around world – are part of what some ecologists call “new era” of #ecologicalcollapse, rapid #extinctions occur in regions that have little direct contact with people.

Who says #entomologists can't be a bundle of laughs?
It's #cicada season here so the press are running a few articles on the noisy critters. From one of these I discovered that our local bug watchers have adopted some rather interesting common names for different species, including:
Whiskey Drinker
Cherry Nose
Yellow Monday
Red Eye
Greengrocer
Brown Baker
Black Prince
Double Drummer
and
RazorI'm sure Gary Larson would approve.

Excastra albopilosa: A remarkable #NewGenus and #NewSpecies of Lamiinae (Coleoptera) from southeastern #Queensland, #Australia
