Lots of male flies seem to have heads made of 99% compound eyes, but the green horsefly boys seem like 110% eye.

Imagine a magnificent hunk of human male, just with 2 giant eyes peering at you from where a head would be. Or don't. That's probably best.

Stripy Winged Sausage-fest
Male wasps of some species are known to bundle up together in numbers and I've seen this behavior before many times, but never anything close to this quantity. Maybe 50 total.

At a beach of a late summer. Some invertebrate friends to meet.
#InverteFest becomes #MolluskMonday.

Winding down #InverteFest at the front door light with this fancy pants planthopper.

A nymph of Thionia sp. (Issidae) I believe.

After years of chasing, I finally found a Myopa sp. fly (M. vicaria maybe?) willing to sit for photographs. The morphology and life history of these goofy-looking flies are fascinating, and I was thrilled to finally photograph one. #InverteFest

エダウミウシ/フタスジミノウミウシ/おちびクロヘリアメフラシ/くそでかアメフラシ（2023.4竹野）#ウミウシログ

エダとフタスジ初めて見つけた、わーい🙌
夜になると急に出現するくそでかアメフラシやくそでかナマコは、昼間は一体どこに隠れているんだろう🤔夜だけ巨大化するとかなら面白いのに〜

まるまった変な物体が流されてきたから思わずキャッチしたらヤマトユビでした。そのあと私の指から全然離れてくれなくて大変でした。指に懐くユビウミウシ🤟

Cute Snapping Shrimp in the MesoAmerican Reef! These little critters have one large claw they snap shut, which creates a vacuum bubble that explodes, which makes a loud pop sound.

Never underestimate a shrimp.
