𝘜𝘴𝘯𝘦𝘢 𝘨𝘭𝘢𝘣𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘢, also known as the Lustrous beard #lichen, is extremely rare in the Netherlands. As far as i know there are only 3 known spots. Luckily there is one close to my city in an area where i hike often. Always a joy to see it thrive!

A gorgeous orb-weaver or nagakoganegumo (Argiope bruennichi) munching on a planthopper. I think this one is female. This is one of the most common spiders found here. Tokikubo, Komoro, Nagano #Invertebrates #Spider

今、サカズキホコリのなかまがいろいろでてますね。マルサカズキホコリが葉っぱの縁で並んでします。胞子を飛ばしやすい所に並ぶことが多いです。

Heading home from work today, i noticed a little passenger on my bicycle: a planthopper (𝘐𝘴𝘴𝘶𝘴 𝘤𝘰𝘭𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘴). I hope he enjoyed the ride!

Gall wasps are interesting creatures. Their inducement for gall formation seems largely unknown, but could be chemical, mechanical, or viral. These wasps create wondrous structures for their larvae! Left: Rose bedeguar gall (𝘋𝘪𝘱𝘭𝘰𝘭𝘦𝘱𝘪𝘴 𝘳𝘰𝘴𝘢𝘦), right: Cottonwool gall (𝘈𝘯𝘥𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘶𝘴 𝘲𝘶𝘦𝘳𝘤𝘶𝘴𝘳𝘢𝘮𝘶𝘭𝘪).

A Mottled dingy-brown click beetle (𝘈𝘨𝘳𝘺𝘱𝘯𝘶𝘴 𝘮𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘶𝘴). Not much liked by farmers due to the larvae eating the roots of crops, but still an interesting creature!

‘Half the tree of life’: ecologists’ horror as nature reserves are emptied of insects
A new point in history has been reached, entomologists say, as climate-led species’ collapse moves up the food chain even in supposedly protected regions free of pesticides

A Green bottle fly (𝘓𝘶𝘤𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘢 𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘤.). Not sure what species this is. The larvae feed on decaying flesh or feces, while the adults feed on pollen and nectar as well. They are important pollinators and a treat for the eye up close!

The 𝘗𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘰𝘮𝘪𝘥𝘢𝘦 family has many different species. Adults can be found in all sorts of shapes and colors, and this is the same for the nymphs. Some are really striking like this Red-legged shieldbug nymph (𝘗𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘰𝘮𝘢 𝘳𝘶𝘧𝘪𝘱𝘦𝘴).

The Long-tailed tit (𝘈𝘦𝘨𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘭𝘰𝘴 𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘥𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘴) is one of my favorite birds. Today i saw a pair collecting #lichen for their nest. I have never seen one but i was able to locate it. They just started building it. It consists of moss, spider silk & lichen. Can't wait to see it finished!
