Vertebrate-insect interactions encompass the diverse, ubiquitous ecological relationships between vertebrate animals and the estimated 14 to 30 million insect species, extending far beyond simple predator-prey dynamics.

Stuck at home again today, so I hunted around the garden until I finally found a female Common Halfband hoverfly to bookend my recent capture of the male on a daisy flower. This time it's a combination of two hand-held images to get what I could in focus - passably in this instance. Notice that unlike the male's eyes that touch in the centre, the female's are quite separate.

National Museums Scotland: 127 year-old fly launches major digitisation project in Scotland. “As Scotland’s Climate Week gets underway, a 127 year-old hoverfly is among the first insect specimens to be digitised as part of a major new project led in Scotland by National Museums Scotland and Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh.”

🐝 NEW: #Bumblebees returning to a hive were filmed landing on a #flower model sliding sideways twice a second.

Three high-speed cameras recorded 48 landings, rebuilt in three dimensions. #Bees banked to match the platform’s motion, lagging slightly behind it, and models combining the flower’s visual motion with the bee’s turning rate reproduced their flights.

schrieb ich noch heute früh, als ich für den #SchmetterlingsMontag auf bilder vom vortag zurückgreifen musste, dass der admiral nicht still gehalten hatte, ich deshalb mit einem gartenzitronenfalter vorlieb nehmen musste* so hatte ich heute mehr admiralsglück, zumindest mit hochgeklappten flügeln. die kurzen momente des oberseite-aufblitzenlassens habe ich alle verpasst 🤷

This FEMALE COMMON DARTER was fast asleep on a bamboo stick in a plant pot right next to my moth box this morning. She didn't flinch when I was moth ID'ing. She didn't flinch at several photos I took of her.

About an hour later, she twitched her head, had a good look around, warmed her wings and took flight.

🐕 NEW: At the Penn Vet Working Dog Center, #dogs start scent training around 8 weeks old, learning a sniff-and-reward game before moving to real targets.

Lucky, a #GermanShepherd, became the first U.S. dog trained to find spotted #lanternfly eggs. Studies show trained dogs identify #termites and #bedbugs with 96% to 97.5% accuracy, while pet dogs were less reliable in the field.
