One of my favourite species seen in Greece in the summer was these trapdoor spiders - a relative of tarantulas. If lifted, the spiders assume you’re a predator so come rushing out, grab the door and yank it back down - they then hold it in place so it’s impossible to lift again!

A bright and shining example of the suicidal absurdity of technocapitalist society occurs every year at this time, all across the country. 1/n

@kswichte I've been out of the game for a while, but might be worth reaching out to Christine Nalepa at NCDACS. What do you think @arammkl @Bertonemyia ?

Hello ento-Twitter! I need some Cryptocercus for my research, would anyone in/near the Appalachians be interested in a little collaboration and be able to help this Arizona grad student get her hands on some wood roaches??

A stag with the normal number of legs taking a drink from an icy lake (actually a Eulophidae sp. wasp boy getting a sugar snacc while I snap a 100 pics of that rack) 2/13/23. N. Florida

You’ve heard of Elf on a Shelf but…

A thread on how not to use @inaturalist . On October 5th I was contacted about an observation of Spotted Lanternfly in the Houston area. This would be a significant range extension and a first for Texas.

@EmilyMeineke @PoetryFound One my all time favorite poems (and then also it has bugs): poetryfoundation.org/poems/43281/th… No better way to capture the sound of being all alone out in the wilderness

Ok @PoetryFound and #poetry #poetrycommunity I’m teaching a class where students are learning about insects in art. I see insects in poetry all the time. Pls send me your favs and your thoughts for why insects are frequent in poems!

王蟲の親戚居た

Possibly an undescribed Moth species from North East India.... Perhaps Sessidae or Zygaenidae.... looks like a cross between a moth,carpenter bee and a cuckoo wasp.... Dayflying and crazy irridescent! ....for #Titlituesday @indiaves #moths #lepidoptera

Next year in NC: 1) Our state legislature will convene. 2) The GOP will pass a bill banning abortion. 3) The Governor will veto it. 4) A veto override vote will be held. 5) Either Dems will have enough members to sustain the veto, or not. Those are the stakes this November.

Washington has shown they lack the courage to act to protect our freedoms. Everyone deserves the right to make their own health decisions without government interference. As your Senator, I will not hesitate to be the 51st vote to end the filibuster and codify Roe nationwide.

コミュニケーションが取れるアリの給餌。

Regulators recalled a Peloton treadmill after one child died—but there's been no federal response to hundreds of kids being killed by gun violence each year. I'm urging colleagues to end the industry's broad immunity and allow guns to be regulated like any other consumer product.

@TheSharkologist hey i know this sign! good termites 'round those parts
