New dinosaur-era insect found trapped in tree resin named after Teletubbies character.
'Noo-Noo' lived some 99 million years ago and featured long mouthparts that reached nearly twice its body length.
It belonged to an ancient family of planthoppers known as Neazoniidae, 13 of whose specimens were found preserved in Kachin amber from Myanmar.

💚 Meet the NZ pūriri moth, one of New Zealand’s most spectacular native moths 🌿
This one is a male. After spending years underground, they emerge as adults for a very short time — often just a single day — to find a mate.

You’ve waited long enough, so here is the full page of insects I teased a few days ago!
I came up with this concept while doodling with wax pastels and decided to bring them to life with coloured pencils, which allows for more details.I’m really, really proud of this whole page, but I think my favourite is the rosebud beetle. Which is yours?

Insect hotels look nice, but they're often hotspots for parasites and maybe not so beneficial. Here's a really cool study trying to see how to improve that :

Here the little caterpillar is on a Mexican ruellia leaf. As you can see (if you're familiar with Mexican ruellia leaves), it is a very small caterpillar. It did NOT seem to be eating the ruellia, just traveling across it.
Is it easier to identify from this photo?
-
The spines on this little caterpillar (apx 1" long) refract the light in ways that make it very pretty, but somewhat difficult to photograph accurately. Does anyone know what kind of caterpillar this is? I'll post another photo in the comments.

Basic bee facts every day at 3pm.53.
On returning to the nest foraging #bumblebees fly back and forth fanning their wings secreting a pheromone which encourages other workers to go foraging on flowers with the same scent as the returning bee.

Breeding programme brings world’s heaviest #insect back from the brink https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/oct/05/new-zealand-worlds-heaviest-insect-breeding-programme
"The population of #NewZealand’s endemic #wētāpunga is recovering thanks to a groundbreaking breeding programme that has overseen the release of 11,000 #insects into the wild... Over the past 15 years, tens of thousands of wētāpunga have been bred at Butterfly Creek, a wildlife facility, and #Auckland zoo, enabling release across new predator-free islands and mainland reserves"
