Last night we found this ceanothus silkmoth, Hyalophora euryalus, hanging on the outside of our greenhouse. Canon R6 with 100mm macro lens and Macrolite ring.

The perfect gift under the Christmas tree has come early: "Wasps of the World" by @gavinbroad.bsky.social. I urge all to purchase this exquisite read, filled with facts/illustrations of a highly diverse group of #insects. Make sure not to place Megastigmus strobilobius too close to the tree!! 🎄

@ionace.bsky.social and I identified and databased 6,600 UK ichneumonoids light-trapped by an amazing crew of moth trappers in 2024. Wonderful dataset. Recent highlights: first Rogas luteus for over 100 years and Enicospilus myricae, haven’t seen since I described it in 2016.

Here's a longer video showing the full life cycle of the White Admiral butterfly. Filmed over 2 years in Sussex woodland. Guest starring several parasitic wasps! 🎥🦋🐝

NEW PAPER, JUST OUT! 👀
Insects from the '70s and '80s were already collecting microplastic, decades before the term microplastic even existed. 🤯
A thread on the surprising history of this pollutant and the incredible insect larvae that helped us uncover it. 🐛
