Happy #invertefest #Friday from my first #mantidfly of the season, the Four-spotted Mandtidfly, #Dicromantispa interrupta. #Fujifilm X-S10, #Laowa 65mm #Macro #MacroPhotography #Photography #invertebrate #Insects

When in the Keys, you must find the native Tailless Whipscorpion, and we did. Bucket list creature for both of us 🥹 Just big gentle shy lumps, no thoughts, just gently wavy antenniforms 🖤 Phrynus marginemaculatus

I'm painfully tired of honey bees still getting the most attention when they're not native to North America. They're basically livestock and outcompete our native bees. We do NOT need more urban hives. So please, let's some some of our glorious wild bees for a change! #Invertebrates

Here are 3 beautiful mantidflies that I saw last month! They are neither mantises nor flies; their larvae are parasitoids of spider eggs, and these adults appear to mimic wasps. Euclimacia rufocincta Tuberonotha sp. Euclimacia sp.

Everyone who told me "what's the harm in hyping de-extinction technology that doesn't work" can choke on a bag of black-footed ferret dicks www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

a few recent springtime mites: 1 - a little dark Galumnid passes behind a larger Euptyctima (both oribatids) 😘 2 - Penthaleid "earth mite" w/ a perfect crystal ball of fluid exuded from its dorsal anus 🤩 3 - hypersaturated Trombidiid red velvet mite ❤️ 4 - wonderfully wrinkled Bryobia spider mite 🧓
