CaeslinOn days like today, I feel like the world could use a photo of a moth that looks like a bee. Taken at my work this past September. #bugstodon #MothsOfTheFediverse #insects #bugphoto
This luna moth caterpillar is so cute. So cute! Seen at my factory this past July. #insects #bugphoto #bugstodon
Japanese rhino beetles AKA kabutomushi can vary surprisingly in size, and so too can their horns. (These are two males who were on the same tree at my workplace this past July.) #insects #bugphoto #bugstodon
Sawfly larva charm point #3: The thing they do where they curl up into little spirals. #insects #bugphoto #bugstodon #sawflies
Sawfly larva charm point #2: So many stylish polka dot patterns. #insects #bugphoto #bugstodon #sawflies
Sawfly larva charm point #1: Their round heads and beady little eyes, which make them look like an adorable cartoon rendition of a caterpillar. #insects #bugphoto #bugstodon #sawflies
Your daily reminder that sawfly larvae are actually dangerously adorable #insects #bugphoto #bugstodon
There was another assassin bug on the next tree over, also clearly mid-molt, though for the life of me I couldn’t figure out what part of its body I was actually looking at. Then I examined it from another angle and I realized it was hanging upside down, with its head tucked into its chest! #insects #bugphoto #bugstodon
Normally, the adult yokozuna assassin bug is black. But when it first molts it’s apparently a bright cherry red! I learned this when I witnessed an assassin bug molting on one of our work trees this week. #insects #bugphoto #bugstodon
