🧠🪰 The adult Drosophila brain connectome now gives us a complete wiring diagram of ~140k neurons. But a wiring diagram alone isn’t understanding.

How is this massive network organized?

Our paper tackles that question by mapping community structure across the entire fly brain. 1/

If you change the wording slightly to

“I AM AT THE ZOO BRING ME A FLY, OR ELSE”

it suddenly becomes a menacing horror story. 🐸🪰

Images within the infographic show the various orientations of the type and paratype individuals for the new species, phylogenies of how this taxon relates to other species within the same subfamily and an image of the DNA barcode variation present within the new species other morphologically similar species. screen grab of the etymology and ecology of the new species Etymology Santarosamyia woodorum sp. nov. is named in honour of Dr. D. Monty Wood (1933–2020) and Grace Wood for their many years of dedication to the study of Diptera and, in particular, the family Tachinidae of ACG. Their legacy lives in Monty's invaluable contributions to science and the countless people he educated and collaborated with. Interim species-specific names for Santarosamyia woodorum sp. nov., included in previously circulating databases and publications, are tachinidWood12 Wood01 and Nilea Wood01. Distribution Costa Rica, ACG, Guanacaste Province, 20–326 m elevation. Ecology Santarosamyia woodorum sp. nov. has been reared twelve times from at least two species of Lepidoptera in the family Crambidae: Omiodes cuniculalis Guenée, 1854 (n = 3), Eulepte Janzen06 (n = 1) and Eulepte concordalis Hübner, 1825 (n = 7) and one species in the family Pyralidae: Chloropaschia granitalis (C. Felder, R. Felder & Rogenhofer, 1875) (n = 1) in dry fo rest, at elevations ranging from 20–326 m.

Can your tav/durge be scary? Is it easy for them or do they really need to work at it?

River is like the least scary person in the world and he wouldn’t even hurt a fly 🪰 so I don’t think he could be scary unless it was done accidentally with his wild magic. 😖

Because climbing asters were still in bloom as of last week, I was still seeing numerous insects that were new to me. One of the most photogenic was this hover fly. #bugsky #insects #invertebrates #nature 🪰
A black and yellow insect with abdominal stripes is shown perched on a lavender flower. Suggested species is Palpada pusilla, a hover fly.

A Margined Calligrapher Fly from June for #flyday. Toxomerus marginatus. #EastCoastKin #gardening #insects 🌱🪰
A Margined Calligrapher Fly rests on the tip of a green leaf that is covered in wispy white hairs. It is a pretty little fly with transparent wings with a sparkly green and pink iridescence. It has big dark-red eyes, a bronze shield covering the thorax, and its abdomen is a golden orange with narrow black stripes that curve up at the edges like brackets. The Margined Calligrapher Fly sitting on the dark center of a golden yellow Black-eyed Susan flower. You can see the tiny brown-black threadlike flowers and uniform dots of yellow pollen of the flower's center. Oklahoma Northern Crosstimbers ecoregion 29a, June 6, 2025.

Okay so this is my first ever TF piece and still a WIP… I really like the idea of becoming a giant fly 🪰

A transformation sequence of a cis A U of myself transforming into a giant fly. I am sitting on the floor masturbating when my dick starts growing, slowly becoming an abdomen. The rest of my body changes at a similar past, except for my head, which changes last.
