  1. Last night went out for a good bug ramble except I realized I forgot my light, so I went home and made do with my phone flash along the way. (OpenCamera has a torch flash mode where the flash is always on.)

    - _Leptinotarsa_ potato beetles mating
    - a huge _Clubiona_ leaf-curling sac spider eating a zebra jumping spider (_Salticus scenicus_)
    - an ant war (_Tetramorium_?), this was only one of two large patches, with skirmishes up and down the sidewalk
    - a *huge* sawfly larva? of some kind

  5. Nematodes, from a pest insect that they had been breeding inside. While gory, #nematodes are a #biocontrol option for various invertebrate pests. Various species are available commercially, and can be effective against a range of species. They can be particularly good against insect pests with a soil-living life stage, such as #VineWeevil (and other weevils!), some #Sawflies, root maggots and other #Diptera larvae, etc. #LoadsaTodes
