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.

Bioinspired engineering: the eye of a parasitic fly of a wasp (Strepsiptera) deviates from the standard insect compound eye in interesting ways:

The #warmthloving #paperwasp #Polistes #dominula (Polistinae) was originally native to central/ southern Europe and Asia, but is increasingly spreading towards Scandinavia due to #globalwarming. In e.g. Australia and #NorthAmerica it occurs as #neozoan. 50 or more nest cells are created by one or several young #queens with the strongest subdueing its competitors. The wasp can be #parasitized by #Xenos #vesparum (#Strepsiptera).
