#TGIF
Very warm on this first day of spring, and bumblebees were busy. I also saw a monarch butterfly but it wouldn't stop near me... My Japanese maple leaves, however, give me autumn nostalgia!
Have a good evening and a great weekend, everyone.

Las larvas de Sepedon comen caracoles pulmonados sin opérculo, siempre que no se ahoguen en sus babas o heces. De la pupa que flota en el agua como un barco emerge un adulto, cuyos machos tiene un gancho dentudo en las patas posteriores para agarrarse a la hembra. 📷Robertgessing #insectos #insects

Los machos de los escarabajos Sagra femorata tienen grandes pares posteriores de patas, similares a las ranas, para pelearse durante la cópula. Si esta se está produciendo, aún no es demasiado tarde para apartarlo y luego alejarlo a patadas.📷Ryan Yue Wah Chan #escarabajos #beetles #coleoptera #insectos #insects
