  1. 🇫🇷 On croit voir une chenille et pourtant, ça n'en est pas une! C'est une larve de Tenthrède, un insecte apparenté aux guêpes. La nature est surprenante!

    🇬🇧 We could think we see a caterpillar but it's not! It is a larva of Tenthrede, an insect related to wasps. Nature is surprising!

  3. Dieser Südliche Blaupfeil war einer der ersten seiner Art, den ich hier in meiner Gegend fand - an einem neuen Teich auf einer Lichtung. Glücklich, wie ich war ihn zu finden, bemerkte ich nicht den Binsenhalm, der von links in Bild ragte.

  5. So, I have a friend who is knowledgeable about all forest things, who advised me a few years back about the spotted lantern fly, an invasive species crawling up the USA East Coast decimating forests. I saw the black and white immature version in the Spring. Here's the mature insect, which I saw today. It's attractive, but also dangerous as hell. #Insect #insects #InsectsOfTheFediverse #lanternfly

  6. Yesterday, I was stung multiple times on the face by wasps after accidentally disturbing a nest in a wooded area. It's not the first time I've been stung by anything - I grew up in Australia. But now the area feels bruised and got me wondering how the toxin causes bruising. Any #entomologist here with an answer? #science #insecta #insects #InsectsOfTheFediverse #toxins

  7. When not on the hunt, the giant #asian #mantis (#Hierodula sp.), snuggles close to plants it stalks, rendering itself almost invisible - safe from marauding predators looking for an alfresco snack.

    Insects such as preying mantids offer invaluable (and free!) organic pest control services, improving the quality of life in our great cities.

  8. A Giant Asian Mantis (#Hierodula sp.) stalks a tropical milkweed bush, hoping to nab an alfresco meal (read: any bug it can murder), while keeping a wary eye on clueless bystanders oblivious to it's existence.

    Preying mantids perform an invaluable job of free pest control, improving the quality of our lives in our great cities.
