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.
