    diese gattung hat 150 arten, der Q. lateralis aus dem Wikipediaartikel ist nur stellvertretend, so genau lässt sich das bei dem foto nicht sagen. war auch ein echt flinkes tierchen, nicht einfach abzulichten.

  9. CW: insect, beetle

    Okay, let’s start with the first rove beetle here, shall we? This is Phosphuga atrata, a carrion beetle (Silphinae). In German, it’s commonly called “Schwarzer Schneckenjäger” which translates to Black Snail Hunter. As the name suggests, this beetle is hunting snails and uses its elongated neck to reach into the snail shell, but it also feeds on other insects and carrion.

    Being classified as their own family before, after several analyses Silphinae were reclassified as a subfamily of #Staphylinidae in 2024.

    This #beetle below was found in South Sweden, walking on jetty at the coast of the Baltic Sea.

  13. Hi!
    Let's have this #introduction.

    I'm a biology student based in Northern Germany, interested in #ecology and #entomology, especially #beetles

    Currently, I'm working on my bachelor's thesis about the biodiversity of rove beetles (#Staphylinidae) in a Hamburg nature reserve.

    My posts will be in English and German and you'll hopefully find a lot of #nature pictures here.

    Besides #insects, I'm also interested in #photography, #books / #reading and #baking

    I'm not new on Mastodon itself, but I missed #biology related content, so be the change, I guess.

  17. To celebrate International Rock Flipping Day I flipped over a rock. Found a shy rove beetle, possibly Gauropterus fulgidus, a species introduced into the United States from Europe in the 1800s. #beetles #entomology #coleoptera #insects #entomology #nature #staphylinidae #inaturalist #rocks inaturalist.org/observations/3

  25. I recently finished "An Affair with Africa" by Alzada Kistner and am now absolutely fascinated by the beetle species that hang out in ant colonies, only appearing above ground when their hosts go out on raiding forays or when the nest is relocating. Any recs for a book or article about them? Ideally with photographs. #ants #beetles #myrmecophiles #coleoptera #staphylinidae #entomology #africa

  29. zum #insektenSamstag hab ich auch noch einen kurzflügler, gestern gesehen, allerding war der kamerascheu, deshalb habe ich ein foto von vor einem jahr (und der selben stelle!) dazu gepackt.
    @lavievagabonde , bekannt für den podcast @BugtalesFM und ihre bücher, forscht zu kurzflüglern. so schade, dass sie hier nicht mehr aktiv ist

    Ocypus (nitens vermutlich)

  37. I (badly) photographed this (currently identified) #Noctuidae species in #Merimbula #NSW. It was only when I transferred the images to my laptop that I saw the #pseudoscorpion crawling away - presumably it arrived by phoresis on the #moth - and how attractive the small beetle (#Staphylinidae) is with its pearly elytra.

    Sorry not to have got a closer look at the pseudoscorpion - I love them so much.

  41. CW: Aleochara bipustulata (L.) aedeagus median lobe

    I've just had a hard week. Honestly, when both Aleochara bipustulata (L.) and A. binotata Kr. (Coleoptera Staphylinidae) are in mixture in a sample, the affair turns hellish!
    Without spermatheca, recognizing females is almost impossible.
    At least, I could shoot lots of genitalia pictures. Last time, I published A. bipustulata (L.) entire aedeagus. This time, it is median lobe only.

    Hope, this will help.
