I'll be presenting some stuff about bugs in restored landscapes, and how they might have more in common with wolves than you might think. Anyone around? #BES2025

When you convince your office to rear an Elephant Hawk Moth and experience the joy and beauty of metamorphosis...

But Amblyjoppa proteus has other, more sinister plans.

My sweet child, where has the other half of your mouth gone?

Stop. Admire the bee fly. Look at how it flies with absolutely no grace whatsoever.

Observe how it unites bee and fly lovers everywhere without effort.

Where is it going? What has it seen? With no honey to make, it has a lot of free time.

Avo-fuckin-cado my friends, avo-fucking-cado.

When a bunch of entomology students find a beetle.

It was probably terrified.

Just raw-dogging eggs like multivitamins. Wholesale. A terror on honesty boxes across the country.

A macro photo of a willow weevil. The weevil is excavating a sawfly gal on a leaf, where it will eventually lay an egg. The leaf is bright green and covered in fine, rough hairs. The weevil is black with a long rostrum, buried deep into the gal.

Just another foodie influencer documenting their meal before turning the restaurant into a nursery. Classic.

An image of an Opilione (common names: Harvestman and Daddy-long-legs). It is Dicraopalpus ramosus, a distinctive harvestman with forked palps. This harvestman appears quite sad, slumped over a plant stem, looking forlornly at the camera.

Local harvestman discovers that having eight legs doesn't help carry the weight of perpetual misidentification by humans.

Absolutely stunning. Creature and photo. Would love to see one with my own eyes.

Would love to be included!

I'm upset by how good you are. Stop it. But also don't.
