[she/they] Miserable wench from New England who likes arthropods more than people. I love to ramble about bugs and birds! <3 All photos are mine unless otherwise specified/credited.
Found a new lifer today: Eremnophilia aureonotata, the gold-marked thread-waisted wasp! Sorry the video is rough, I had to record it with someone else's phone. But I don't think any camera would do her justice, those metallic markings were amazing! #bugsky #hymenoptera #entomology #nature
EXCITING UPDATE! Our tortoise beetle friend has reached adulthood! Isn't he stunning?! The elytra markings remind me of a Rorschach inkblot. Species is Deloyala guttata, the mottled tortoise beetle, for anyone wondering! #bugsky #insect #coleoptera #newenglandnature

@cicadie.bsky.social ยท 6d agoI've been checking in on this tortoise beetle larva every day the past few weeks, look how big he (and his fecal shield) have grown! #coleoptera #bugsky #massnature

A stack of flies (Empis livida and some poor unfortunate) What happens in the under shrubbery stays in the under shrubbery focus stack of 23 shots - handheld and captured in natural light #fly #ukwildlife #diptera #tiger #photography #macro #nature #scotland

The Oni Alarm skill is granted by the Oni Reactor accessory while it is equipped. If the front of the party has that skill when they are near one of the Lil' Oni collectibles it will let out a ping that gets faster the closer you are to it. #godotengine #indiegame #rpg
Two different milkweed-eating beetles enjoying a meal! Rhyssomatus lineaticollis: the milkweed stem weevil and Tetraopes tetrophthalmus: the milkweed longhorn beetle. ๐ฟ #bugsky #milkweed #beetle #newengland
If "Gru" from Minions was a Red-Winged Blackbird ๐ Caught this guy in some great golden hour morning light. I was laughing at how "puffed up" he was. Fun times when I can get these birds in my lens ๐ธ #Bird #Birding #BirdPhotography #Wildlife #WildlifePhotography #NaturePhotography #EastCoastKin
Male vs female blue Pachydiplax longipennis--blue dasher dragonflies! Only the males are blue though, as you can see. Did you know they're the only species in the genus Pachydiplax? #bugsky #odonata #dragonfly #entomology
Sorry I hardly upload anymore augh I have so much I could dump here
Panorpa insolens, a scorpionfly, defends her delicious mystery lump from a patient flesh fly (Sarcophagidae). Wing-flagging in Panorpa is used for both intraspecific and interspecific communication, and in some species studied, these displays are often used to guard food from other scavengers
I have drawn many goobies over the years, but these two very much feel like a marine Bouba and Kiki duo #SciArt #invertebrates

Entomology fact: There is no creature in the universe cuter than a milkweed longhorn beetle! The more you know! โฅ๏ธ๐ค๐ #bugsky #cerambycidae #milkweed #beetle #nature
Here's how it started...and here's how it's going! Welcome to the world, little stinkers! #pentatomidae #eggs #bugsky #nature #milkweed
I don't know who needs to hear this but an animal isn't useless just because you dislike it! Every species plays a vital role in their native ecosystem no matter how much you might find them scary or annoying. :)
I think this blue dasher mite have a parasite problem...But water we gonna do about it? #odonata #bugsky #watermites #dragonfly
Scudderia furcata nymphs on my milkweed plants ๐ฆ ๐ I had only ever seen them as adults before this year, I didn't expect the nymphs to be so colorful! #bugsky #orthoptera #katydid
Anyone who thinks roaches are ugly clearly hasn't seen Ectobius pallidus before ๐ชณ๐ค #bugsky #roachsky #blattodea
Milkweed beetles are here at last! I love all guests on my milkweed with all my heart but I have a real soft spot for these guys especially. ๐ฅฐ #bugsky #coleoptera #milkweed #cerambycidae
