Slides from my talk last night to the Field #Naturalists Association of #Canberra:

"Lessons from #Malaise trapping in Aranda"

As with most of my talks, there are few notes, but the gallery of amazing #insects may mean something to some of you.

I'm speaking today at the Field #Naturalists Association of #Canberra meeting (held in the Slatyer Seminar Room at #ANU at 19:30). Visitors are welcome.

I'll give an overview of some of the interesting insects collected in a #MalaiseTrap over a year in a Canberra suburb, including some of the things we can learn from the resulting specimens and #DNA. Many of the specimens were sequenced as part of the International Barcode of Life project (#IBOL). There will be plenty of photos of insects and other invertebrates.

The FNAC meeting each month starts an hour and a half after the monthly meeting of the Canberra #Python Users Group, also on the #ANU campus, so it's quite possible to attend both. The topic this month is a "Talk Writing Workshop".

Paper Wasp (Polistes sp.)

#PaperWasp #Hymenoptera #ArtWithOpenSource #Darktable #CCBYSA #Insect #Insects #Wasp #Wasps #Animal #Animals #Wildlife #WildlifePhotography #Nature #NaturePhotography #Photo #Photography

Four (parasitic) #wasps (#Hymenoptera) from a SLAM #Malaise sample in #Canberra #Australia over the last three weeks. Natural areas everywhere are (or should be) full of beautiful #insects like these, all just going about their business.

A #FairyWasp in the genus #Mymar - the first I have seen here in the nominate genus - see how tiny this #insect is.

An #ichneumon wasp (#Ichneumonidae) in the subfamily #Campopleginae - probably possible to get this one to genus, but most Australian species are unnamed.

#Vosleria australia (or at least that's the only named Australian species in the genus) - family #Encyrtidae

#Anastatus, unknown species - family #Eupelmidae

Andrena niveata, a micro-mining bee. With two beautiful white bands on its face.

Turns out I unwittingly reported, one year ago almost to the day, the only observation in the UK, and one of the 4 observations in the whole of Europe, the other 3 being in Belarus. Thanks to the anonymous iNaturalist identifier for the ID – I had only narrowed it down to subgenus Microandrena.

I've processed another week of #Malaise sample images from last year (2023-02-24 to 2023-03-03).

Small #wasp: #Megaspilidae sp.

Dusty-winged #lacewing: #Coniopterygidae sp.

I ran a #Malaise trap for a couple of years in my front garden in #Aranda, ACT and am finally processing the last couple of months of samples. Here are some insects from 17-24 Feb 2023.

Tiny #ant: I think, Crematogaster sp.

Megastigmid #wasp: Bootanomyia sp.

Reddish #longhorn #beetle: Epithora dorsalis

Dark brown longhorn beetle: Phoracantha punctata

Yet another Andrena on the red chokeberry in full bloom in my front yard.

A 3rd bee I captured in my front yard and chilled for photography before re-releasing. I'm guessing at the species, based on visual comparison with past observations from my garden.
