From my wildcounts run yesterday, here are broom seed beetles (an introduced biocontrol agent) and Darwin's ants (an Australian native) feeding from rockrose flowers (native of the Mediterranean) in Christchurch, NZ. All three are wild species here.
Adult broom seed beetles are fueling up from flowers before laying their eggs on developing seed pods of the weed Scotch broom.

Another of my favorite species is our largest #Wasp, Eastern cicada killer, #Sphecius speciosus. Ground-nesters, females dig out impressive mounds of dirt, often the only evidence of their presence.
Males of this species also emerge before females in the Spring. Territorial, they will also fly right at you! Again, harmless; males have no stingers.

Our largest #bee, the Eastern carpenter #Bee (#Xylocopa verginica ssp. virginica) is well-known to those in proximity to outdoor wooden structures. Females carve out long tunnels underneath protected wood, e.g. porch rails, eaves.
Males emerge first in Spring. Territorial, they will fly right at you! Harmless to us.

#Colletes thoracicus, rufous-chested #CellophaneBee (#Colletidae) is another #Bee species making its home in my #Garden. Ground-nesters, each generation lives just one year. I've tracked this population since 2008, 14 generations!

#Eristalis transversa, transverse-banded #FlowerFly (#Syrphidae) is my "spark bug". When I first noticed it in my #Brooklyn backyard in 2009, I thought it was a bee! When I learned it was a #Fly (#Diptera, "two-winged"), I was hooked.
When I saw how many different insects my #NativePlants attracted, I devoted my entire #Garden to #WildlifeHabitat #Gardening.

A beautiful native #Bee is #Augochlora pura, pure green #SweatBee. Like most of our #Bees, they are tiny!
This is one of my favorites. Aside from its beauty, its one of at least 5 bee species that nest in my yard. These nest in rotting wood, provided by logs I place in my #Garden for this purpose.

Wow that got the most likes of any of my pachy posts so far, and quickly! So let's keep it going.
Most of my observations are from my own garden in Brooklyn, NYC. #Harmonia axyridis, multi-colored lady #Beetle (#Coleoptera), is the 2nd most common species. This one is infected with a recently described host-specific #Fungus: Hesperomyces harmoniae.

Happy #InverteFest2022!
Most of my #iNaturalist observations, and much of my #Photography, are of #Insects, especially #FlowerVisitors/"#Pollinators". (Not all who visit, pollinate. Some are hunting!)
In the spirit of the season, I'll share some fave #Macro #Photos.
My most frequently observed #Species is #Bombus impatiens, the Eastern bumble #Bee.
