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:
“Xenos peckii vision inspires an ultrathin digital camera”, Keum et al. 2018
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41377-018-0081-2Taking advantage of the present state of a still ongoing many-million year evolutionary process.

If you photograph enough wasps and bees eventually you’ll encounter some that are stylopized: parasitized with Strepsiptera, a family of flies that look harmless yet are capable of dominating and living off top brass like paper wasps and more.

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).

A very cool and interesting study about the impact of Stylopization (parasitism by Stylops ater) on a mining bee (Andrena vaga).
By tweaking the bee's endocrine system, the parasite is able to shift the emergence time. The authors also observe a masculinization effect in female host, which is believed to be a by-product of the emergence-shift.#entomology #insects #parasite #ecology #evolution #nature #science #strepsiptera #bees

Note bees can also be stylopized: after all, bees are wasps that forgot to eat meat (except carrion bees that make meat honey from rotten corpses https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vulture_bee but oh well).
Here is a Hylaeus sp., a masked bee, stylopized: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/89223666 When I took the photo I had not even noticed; nearly didn't even post it, as I only had one and a bit blurry. Then John Ascher made me notice the parasite protruding from its tergites.

And now I can see it in plain view around a quarter of the way across and just below half way up the sample tray for that week.

Probably only of interest to myself ... I've added an extra parameter to the URLs for my BOLD Australia site for exploring #Australian #DnaBarcodes. If you include "gmaea=1" in the URL, it highlights the taxa and records associated with BOLD specimens from my local #Malaise trapping. I'm finding it really interesting to visualise my specimens in context.
If nothing else, it made me realise that Guelph found #Strepsiptera in the sample from the week of 1-8 January 2021.
