#flies — Public Fediverse posts

"Flies (Diptera) are particularly suitable transport hosts. They are highly mobile, capable of long-distance flight, and frequently visit the same types of transient habitats that pseudoscorpions depend on. By attaching themselves to a fly, pseudoscorpions can effectively outsource dispersal – reaching new habitats they could never access on their own."

A little tachinid fly (possibly Cryptomeigenia) sitting on a leaf. I love the shape and color of the eyes.

And finally, a crane fly, most likely from the Tipulidae family.

💁🏻‍♀️ 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.

A few insects from the Bath Natural History Society outing to Priston (near Bath) yesterday - Epistrophe eligans (a hoverfly), Dotted bee-fly, Dark-edged Bee-fly and Scarce Fungus Weevil (Platyrhinus resinosus)

Of the flies I saw today, this one is my favourite. It's the ngaro tara or three-lined Hover Fly (*Helophilus seelandicus*), a New Zealand endemic species.

I like the sleek colour pattern. It would not look out of place on a coverable sports car.

While the adult is sleek, the larva is a rat-tailed maggot with a long snorkle out its rear end that allows it to eat decomposing matter in stagnant water.

I saw this while on my weekly biodiversity run this afternoon through Ōtautahi-Christchurch city, NZ.

I noticed around twenty years ago that insects in Europe were in serious decline. It didn’t even need a ‘scientific study’ and I use the same methodology today.
In the 1980s, in summer, when I drove in Europe, the windscreen of my car was covered in dead insects after only 100km of driving.
By the early 2000s this was no longer true. Many fewer bug-splats on the glass.
Now? Hardly any at all.
You cannot blame Climate Change for this. This is down to excessive pesticides and farming techniques.
Now studies show bird populations in serious decline. Ever wonder what they used to eat?
We learnt nothing from the DDT fiasco, apparently.
