DID YOU KNOW that NZ has an annual 'Bug of the Year' contest?
Voting opens in Jan 2025, and I've championed... GIANT SPRINGTAILS!
Anyone globally can vote, so get ready to cast your ballot for these amazing minibeasts, and expect lots of giant springtail promotional content from me in the runup! 🧪

Some giant springtail-relatives have specially flattened bodies for squeezing into cracks in their decaying log homes.
This is great for evading would-be predators, and, unfortunately for me, macrophotographers! 🧪

Any ID thoughts on this little weevil? About 5mm long. Disappointed with the pics, but hopefully showing some useful details. Quite a chunky rostrum. Found on a fence rail in mixed woodland.

This Calvatomina superba is one of New Zealand's many crazily-coloured globular springtails, most of which are still undescribed to science.
Springtails like this are capable of leaping to heights of up to 100 times their body length - that's equivalent to a human jumping over the Eiffel tower! 🧪

Work in progress, NGC 7380 the Wizard Nebula. Need a bit more time on the nebula then going to replace the stars with true colour stars. More to follow! #astrophotography #astronomy #nebula #galaxy #deepsky #star #deepskyphoto #deepspacephoto

The Mississippian aged Edwardsville Fm. near Crawfordsville, IN is famous for crinoids. This piece is special because the anal tube (think waste chimney) was damaged and regenerated twice! The first time it split. The second is just starting to regrow.

I often see smaller ichneumanid wasps. around the UV Light, but the other night I got visited by this chonker. Easily around 4cm long. This is something in genus Enicospilus. These are parasites of the Saturnid (Silk) moths.

More king tide critters: This beautiful little scallop was a first for me! A kelp scallop - Leptopecten latiauratus. These colorful scallops grow to 5 cm, though this only 1 cm wide; they are sessile and stick to kelp and rocks down to 850 m, from Pt. Reyes to Cabo. 🦑 #tidepooling 📸Olympus TG6

🚨 MITE ON MITE ACTION 🚨
This alien-looking predatory mite is in the family Labidostommatidae, and has proudly caught a tiny hard-bodied mite (Scheloribatidae) to eat.
BUT it's not easy to crack an oribatid mite's armour, which is probably why it was just carrying it around instead of eating it! 🧪

Currently, the Green-brindled Crescent is the most common moth I find in my trap. However, there isn't much competition in my area, so variety is very much lacking. #TeamMoth

Here's another beautiful springtail from my recent macrophotography trip out in the NZ bush.
There's so many stunning soil invertebrates here in Aotearoa, and most are still unknown to science. Hopefully through my research and photography I'll be able to help change that, even a little bit... 🧪

Introgression: How the Corn Earworm Borrowed Insecticide Resistance From an Invasive Cousin
A study finds native corn earworms in Colorado have hybridized with invasive Old World bollworms, gaining insecticide-resistant genes from their relatives.

Few creatures showing themselves in the garden today, but this froghopper did stand out. Aphrophora alni (Alder Spittlebug) and not a bug that we’ve spotted here before.
