It's a sort of blue, big enough for the rain to stick to it

This beetle has far more problems than rain. C. ...

…a close-up view of this beetle reveals the thousands of tiny scales that coat the body. Photonic crystals within the scales scatter the light, creating this blue iridescence. Mesmerising 🤩

Brightening up #BlueMonday with #BlueBugs 🧪🔬

The 3rd Monday in January is coined ‘the most depressing day of the year’… a concept proposed by a travel company as marketing stunt - certainly not in support of mental health.

So let’s re-claim #BlueMonday & spread some joy, in the form of beautiful #BlueBugs 🦋

Get involved & post your photos or artwork of blue insects! 🦋

This is the 8th year I’ve celebrated #BlueBugs, and this year it’s more important than ever to spread some of natures beauty and distract ourselves. Help me make it a good one!

Here’s where it began 🩵

A little something for #BlueBugs on #BlueMonday , a beautiful female Ormyrus nitidulus parasitoid wasp found in the garden birch tree last September when days were warmer. Better days will come again, and these little beauties will return.

My offering for #BlueBug
Zicrona caerulea or the Blue Bug!

Beautiful creation

I can’t find a single #BlueBug photo for #BlueMonday, so here’s a tardigrade modelling various styles of blue tardigrade trousers…

One of the blue display windows from the Dome room at the Montreal Insectarium and one of my favourites. Look at the awesome diversity of #bluebugs. #bluemonday
