Thankies! I've seen precisely TWO of them...ever - but they are sure memorable!

reply

helenbennett.bsky.social•1 day ago

I've never seen one, they are found in Europe but as far as I know there are no confirmed records of it being established in the UK, yet!

They congregate on dead wood...or so I've read LOL

ok2panic.bsky.social•23 hours ago

I have bunches of that in the form of brush piles and downed limbs

I've only ever seen TWO - the iNat map is a pretty good indicator as to why 😂

reply

margueriteturl2.bsky.social•17 hours ago

They used to be all over a dead tree we had here but since it got cut up I haven’t seen them again

reply

crawlieswithcri.bsky.social•17 hours ago

😭 They eat the poop of wood boring beetle larvae. Yup.

Stunner, well spotted a d capture. Are the wings always at attention ready to go?

reply

crawlieswithcri.bsky.social•15 hours ago

Nope! They're flexible, can be laid flat, or out to the sides or up like this!

reply

Supposed to be swarms around dead wood.

reply

coloradocarol.bsky.social•19 hours ago

Plenty of that at the river. I'll pay closer attention to dead wood.

reply

crawlieswithcri.bsky.social•19 hours ago

Maybe...looks like I was VERY lucky to see two in Ore.

The pattern looks digitized, or like a QR code.

reply

Did you try to scan it? 😂

reply

intentionality4.bsky.social•23 hours ago

No, I've never done a QR before 😂 It also reminds me of DNA code.
