eine Rote Weichwanze Deraeocoris ruber, ich finde die könnte auch schmuckwanze oder zierwanze heißen, decoris ruber :D
Cool things happen.
For this #FridayFlyday: today I was browsing around trying to ID a fly and inadvertently discovered these. Ant-mimicking flies, genus _Myrmecothea_. Now I've seen it all. https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/132235-Myrmecothea

Another really kickass #bug I saw in my client's garden this afternoon. At first I thought it was an injured bumblebee because it has similar coloring.
It was crawling around in the mulch by the brick walkway and it climbed up a piece of mulch and flipped over on its back, so I flipped it back over and it thought I was trying to eat it.
I promised it that I was not a predator.
dog day cicadas (_Neotibicen canicularis_) I've seen recently
heute habe ich ein ziemlich abgefahrenes und wohl auch seltenes #krabbeltierchen gesehen:
ein Schwarzer Schneckenhauskäfer Drilus concolor
das auf dem bild ist nicht die raupe, sondern das weibchen! nur die männchen sehen aus wie klassische käfer.
hypermetamorphose, extremer geschlechtsdimorphismus, interessante essgewohnheiten der larven, was nicht alles, seht selbst:

A leafhopper assassin bug lies in wait, the little fly barely escaped. All this inside a surprise Lilly that popped up this week. #bugscrolling #bloomscrolling #bugstodon

zwar schmerzt das gesäß, aber doch war es schön :)
heute keine #auwaldrunde sondern eine flussrundfahrt mit dem stromlosen drahtesel.

spider video, web making
weevil Wednesday, lewd
It's #WeevilWednesday, post 'em if you got 'em.

Earlier this Summer we had some noisy visitors: Cicadas. Here’s 1 I drew in my Perpetual Journal. The Agave flower stalk I drew in ‘23 is still standing! Read more on my blog post https://paulaborchardt.substack.com/p/cicadas
Look who I just found camping out on the passion flowers that grow over from my neighbour's garden*
*Greatly appreciate gorgeous flowers that I don't have to (fail to) care for.
I can't believe they blurred the giant spider dick. #bugstodon https://www.popsci.com/environment/tarantula-genitals-satyrex/
das #krabbeltierchen der heutigen #AuwaldRunde ist eine nymphe der lederwanze Coreus marginatus.
den übertrieben hochgezogenen kontrast bitte ich zu entschuldigen, das war ich nicht, das hat die automatik der kamera so beschlossen.
Last night we discovered that the Danish #Rigsarkivet in #Copenhagen is a biotope for #spiders it seems. They have lamps that are on all night and almost each one is covered by a large net from some type of orb-weaving spiders. Probably enough for a little study by an ambitious biologist.
