When you convince your office to rear an Elephant Hawk Moth and experience the joy and beauty of metamorphosis...

But Amblyjoppa proteus has other, more sinister plans.

My sweet child, where has the other half of your mouth gone?

Stop. Admire the bee fly. Look at how it flies with absolutely no grace whatsoever.

Observe how it unites bee and fly lovers everywhere without effort.

Where is it going? What has it seen? With no honey to make, it has a lot of free time.

When a bunch of entomology students find a beetle.

It was probably terrified.

The management and creation of woodland for biodiversity and wider environmental benefits - Forest Research

Woodland creation and management deliver a wide range of environmental benefits. The extent of those benefits is determined by a range of factors, including the type of woodland, the way it is managed...

Just raw-dogging eggs like multivitamins. Wholesale. A terror on honesty boxes across the country.

Just another foodie influencer documenting their meal before turning the restaurant into a nursery. Classic.

A macro photo of a willow weevil. The weevil is excavating a sawfly gal on a leaf, where it will eventually lay an egg. The leaf is bright green and covered in fine, rough hairs. The weevil is black with a long rostrum, buried deep into the gal.

Not enough. We should spend more to expedite the extermination of human civilisation.

Local harvestman discovers that having eight legs doesn't help carry the weight of perpetual misidentification by humans.

#bugs #macro #Inverts #Invertebrates #opilione

An image of an Opilione (common names: Harvestman and Daddy-long-legs). It is Dicraopalpus ramosus, a distinctive harvestman with forked palps. This harvestman appears quite sad, slumped over a plant stem, looking forlornly at the camera.
