Here's a list of insect hotels that have cleanable components. I'm especially fond of ones with observation tunnels but that's because I like to take photographs of the bees and wasps doing their provisioning. Let me know if you find broken links and I'll fix. colinpurrington.com/2019/05/wher...

A circular illustration of 19 colorful different species of invertebrates across various phyla (arthropods, cnidarians, echinoderms, sponges, mollusks, annelids, flatworms). Black arching text surrounding them reads “Celebrate Invertebrate Biodiversity”. They are illustrated on a light blue background.

Happy #Invertefest! Celebrate invertebrate biodiversity 🐛💕

Two valley carpenter bees side by side, the one on the left is colored like a typical male with orange fuzz and green eyes, and the female on the right colored so black that it is hard to distinguish any features. Speech bubble from the left bee reads, "Hi, I'm Sunny B and this is my wife, VOID"

long black beetle on a grey background. The beetle is centered and it is grooming its left foreleg.

A dung fly on dung. It's a fly that's covered golden yellow fur with brown eyes.

They laughed when I bent down to take a picture of a dung fly (🇳🇱Strontvlieg), but joke's on them, because look at this pretty golden-yellow fluffy creature! 🪰

Inside Trump's Upstate NY migrant hunt: Border Patrol's meaner tactics snare workers and families.

U.S. citizen in Arizona detained by immigration officials for 10 days Immigration officials in Tucson arrested the 19-year-old man from Albuquerque on April 8, saying he had entered the country illegally, before a judge dismissed his case on April 17.

Indonesian man details surprise ICE arrest in Minnesota hospital; judge denies release Critics condemn the “silent” nature of his arrest as part of an aggressive new trend in immigration enforcement.

Trump's immigration clampdown snares Indigenous Americans 02:36 MigrationUnited States of America Shristi Mangal Pal at Rocky Boy's Reservation, US | Nils Hünerfürst 6 hours ago6 hours ago Young people living on a Montana Indian reservation told DW that they fear discrimination and don't want to be forced from their ancestral territory by Donald Trump's immigration policies. They say federal agents are racially profiling people.

Just of four of today's headlines.

Make no mistake: This is not, at its core, about illegal immigration or border enforcement.

This is the federal government conducting a deliberate and nationwide campaign of white supremacist terror.

European paper wasp in 3/4 view on an old wooden rail in late afternoon sunlight. The wasp is black and yellow with yellow facial marks and orange wings, legs, and antennae.

The same wasp, but further away from the camera and the left back leg up.

The same wasp, but a side profile this time.

A mystery millipede from Costa Rica! Quite large, distinctive, and abundant in both primary and secondary rainforest at La Selva, but I've been totally unable to put a name to it

Tiny bright red stubby wasp with tiny wing stubs and big grey eyes with false pupils peering. She has thick red antennae with white tips, and she taps them on the ground rapidly as she runs.

It's officially spring up here because there are tiny Metaphycus nugget wasps in the savannah grasses again and I am happy 🥹

This photo shows a close-up of a Philanthus gibbosus, a type of solitary wasp, perched on vibrant yellow flowers. The insect has a sleek black body with clear, distinct yellow bands along its abdomen, and translucent wings that are partially open. It is positioned on bright yellow flowers, which contrast with the dark green blurred background. The wasp is actively engaged, likely collecting nectar or pollen, showcasing a moment of interaction between the insect and its natural environment.

Philanthus (gibbosus?) on a flower. Bee wolves are another example of how horrifying the natural world can be. One minute you're just a bee hanging out, and the next, this little wasp has paralyzed you and carried you off to feed its young. Nature is so beautiful. #entomology #Insects #hymenoptera
