A rare South African plant produces a fluid and a scent that mimic honeybee blood to entice scavenging jackal flies to pollinate its flowers. #Echobox=1690190791" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">newscientist.com/article/238373…

Spending #flyfriday at the National Museum in Bloemfontein with @FlyguyZA working through a few 1000 flies from Lesotho. With a bit of special focus on the Atherimorpha latipennis (Rhagionidae), busy describing the female for the first time. #diptera #flies #fly

Slightly early for #flyfriday, but having just finished fieldwork for the austral summer, it feels appropriate. oNgoye forest in KZN, where we turned up the first Myolepta for RSA and the first female Mesembrius ingratus ever. A great end! Thanks to all who helped this year!

@Gen_Theron any idea what this insect is? Apologies for the poor pic. Taken in Somerset West. About 10-12mm in length. Absolutely fearsome antennae!

Both @Pensoft and @eurotaxonomy - partners of #BiCIKL_H2020 - were working on that study and the results are worrying: how can we prevent #BiodiversityLoss without scientists to recognize #biodiversity? 🤔 #RedListTaxonomists
CETAF@eurotaxonomy

🚨 Not only #insects 🐝 but even #Taxonomists 👩‍🔬 are in danger!⚠️ According to the first-ever study that applies the @IUCNRedList 🔴 methodology to #scientists, 40% of the insect's orders lack expertise! Full story ➡️ bit.ly/3UWHVCp Full report ➡️op.europa.eu/s/xinQ
