The fourth frame includes (as well as the wing of an Amata tiger-moth overlapping the camera) a male whistling-moth (Hecatesia fenestrata). It's a little under half-way across the frame and about a fifth of the way from the bottom (close to the #cicada)

These moths have an unscaled area of the wing that is ribbed and allows them to make a buzzing (not really whistling) noise as they fly. The ribbed areas apparently strike each other like castanets on the upbeat.

🪳 Graphosome italien 🇮🇹

Punaise arlequin (Graphosoma italicum), aux couleurs et motifs inconfondables. Plutôt sudiste, elle remonte vers le nord et est présente partout en France. Grande fan des Ombellifères 🥕 , on la voit abondamment en fin d'été, début d'automne. Surtout dans les milieux chauds et secs.

There are few soil animals as adorable as springtails!

This Platunurida sp. is a cousin of the famous 'giant' springtails in New Zealand. Instead of colourful spines, it has a flattened body, so it can squeeze into cracks in decaying logs, where it lives. They're surprisingly fast at escaping into the cracks, so it's difficult to get a good photo of them!
