@NanoRaptor Best practice is to rotate your genders every 5,000km to avoid wear patterns building up.

Bryan WrightA baby ambush bug sitting on a blackberry. I came close to popping the berry into my mouth, but noticed the speck of white just in time.

Colin PurringtonIn bizarro beetle news, Vinicius Ferreira and others just published a description of a species from Mexico in which males have NO ELYTRA (and no wings). They named it Xenomorphon baranowskii, referencing the Xenomorph of 'Alien' fame, and Richard Baranowski, the collector. It's very strange. That, and the genus name, will likely ensure that it will show up soon in a Tuesday New York Times blurb. Image was provided by lead author, Vinicius S. Ferreira. #beetle #insect #coleoptera #entomology #lycidae #biology #xenomorph #alien

Max, overwintering bugFly fact of the day: Some adult flies produce silk.
Silk is a very common protein fiber to produce, shared by a lot of arthropods, so I'm not so surprised when I learn of another insect that can produce it.
But still, it's pretty cool.
Some male flies in family Empidae wrap gifts for females in silk produced in their legs.
The more you know!

Alex WildWant to help the bees?
1. Stop using pesticides. This includes "green" pesticides and mosquito misters.
2. Plant a diversity of flowers, if you have space.
3. If you have land, leave some bare patches, as most native bees are soil-nesters.
4. Leave dead trees and plants to stand for the wood and twig-nesting species.
5. Vote against politicians who are insensitive to environmental concerns. You know the ones. Out with them.
6. Vote for politicians who expand protected areas.

I'm not sure what's elegant about the Elegant Tarantula Hawk, Pepsis menechma. Males have antennae that look like someone stuck a pair of yellow foam pool noodles on its head. (New photo from Austin this weekend).
