Ctenophora flaveolata a rare UK Tipulidae. A wasp mimic and saprophylic species associated with Birch woodland. A few recent sightings of this magnificent cranefly in the past week or so. #WorldCraneFliesDay
Male specimens of the genus Tipula can show complex genital organs, to use a euphemism. Here Tipula longidens and Tipula lunata, two very common forest species in #Catalonia, also in the #canopy#WorldCranefliesDay
1/2 #speciesaday no. 277 is Pedicia rivosa. A stonking and highly distinctive cranefly associated with wet places, I have only ever seen it in places with Sphagnum. Commoner in the north and west than the south east. I have records from 11th May to 3rd September.

Let's celebrate the incredible diversity and beauty of this group of flies that inhabit our planet. Here, a beautiful Nephrotoma that @MattDoogue gave us some time ago
Crabro peltarius (I reckon) busy catching flies along #DiggerAlley@RSPBMinsmere Sneaky little "Burrow Watcher" fly sneaks in after her, clearly up to no good. 2nd fly is huge - one for @flygirlNHM 😃Wait for the end to see the wasp punch into the hole!

Diumenge la platja de #Badalona va quedar tapissada de barquetes de Sant Pere (Velella velella). Normalment això passa per l'augment de la temperatura de l'aigua i la sobrepesca. Des de 2018 que no es veia res semblant. Però, què està passant ara?

💦🦟 Sequera i mosquits: com afecten la manca d'aigua i les restriccions la proliferació d'aquests insectes?
🗣 En parlem amb investigadors del @museuciencies

"S'emmagatzema aigua en recipients no adequats que són focus per la cria del mosquit".
🗣 Jorge Mederos, investigador del @museuciencies

"El mosquit tigre necessita molt poca aigua, amb els platets de les plantes poden criar en una setmana. S'han de controlar aquests focus d'aigua, no gaire temps i que no estigui a la intempèrie".
