@wizentrop @ento No need to justify, I’m totally with you. After reading what you sent, I hope I haven’t insulted you by asking to post with credit. Anyways, really great work 👌🏽

#Insectoftheday: There's something extremely appealing about these rove beetles. The surfaces and angles almost look machined. Leptochirus sp. found in dead wood with a great many other things in Peru on the @ibers_aber zoology field course.

@ento_maniac I'm going with Centoniinae.
Cetonia aurata larva in UK moves like that, that's a characteristic differentiating them from other Scarabaeidae.

ID, anyone? Trying to decide between #dynastidae vs #cetoniinae but maybe neither, I cant tell (Ohio, USA)

Happy Easter! 🥚Arguably the most beautiful eggs are laid by stick insects. More than a decade ago, I did my diploma thesis on them. And despite my focus of research shifted a little bit since then, they never stopped to fascinate me. #phasmatodea #stickinsects #entomology

I scanned many #insects using #microCT, but a structure that always strikes me is the #weevil proventriculus (‘forestomach’) - the cross-section of its bulb resembles an eight-pointed star. Its internal teeth are used for grinding food particles. #weevilwednesday #digestion

Frazzled in an 18 wheeler.

Methuselah in hindsight relished escargot and faint sausage.

Wishful thinking and gleeful,
I’m not dead yet.

Neonatal jaundice can be treated with phototherapy, so riboflavin B2 must be supplemented.

hilarious thread. for me it was probably doing extensive and deep analysis on mouse pee

Its easy to share insect photos on social media, but it’s really important to ask the photographer for permission or at least give credit.

lots of time and effort go into insect photography and this needs to be acknowledged and respected

Ive been guilty of this in the past too
