I'm very pleased to be booked in for my hernia op next week, but the upshot is that my Etsy shop will then be closed for about a week. So, if you had your eye on a Christmas present for a bug enthusiast, this week is the best time to place an order. www.etsy.com/uk/shop/Mart...

Back to France (I wish!!), I was really pleased to see one of my favourite treehoppers, Stictocephala bisonia! Alas, I only got this shot before it pinged off into the oblivion, and I didn't manage to find another...! #Membracidae #Hemiptera #Treehopper #France

Seems Regatta have made a breakthrough in imaging. It turns out bacteria look just like insects.

Whenever I find them I wonder about the bright colors, they're very striking and noticeable to my eye

Lots of Knots! Calidris canutus, from the family Scolopacidae. Watching them forage was interesting, but when they took flight it was an amazing spectacle.

Sunday Surfing in the photo archives - here's a giant shield bug (family Tessaratomidae) from Malaysian Borneo awhile back. These are larger than the typical stink bugs we see here in the U.S. They can spray a defensive chemical that not only smells unpleasant, but can damage skin. 🐙🌿 #Bugsky

La chasse à ces sauterelles, connue localement sous le nom de "Mungwin", est une tradition ancienne et l'une des activités économiques informelles les plus importantes dans la région du Nord-Ouest du Cameroun, durant la période allant de fin octobre à décembre de chaque année.
Les sauterelles vertes : un trésor pour les habitants du Nord-Ouest anglophone du Cameroun
Ces insectes, qui tombent en grand nombre au coucher du soleil, sont récoltés, transformés et vendus crus ou séchés, offrant une source de revenus alternative à des milliers de ménages.
Frederic Takang Role, BBC Afrique
Reporting from Bamenda
il y a 3 heures
"Au cœur de la région du Nord-Ouest du Cameroun, une période de l'année est attendue avec une ferveur particulière, mêlant tradition, délices culinaires et opportunités économiques sans précédent.
Il s'agit de la saison des sauterelles vertes, communément appelé ici "Mungwin", dont l'arrivée transforme les nuits de Bamenda et de ses environs en une véritable chasse au trésor."

Loving invertebrates + owning a log burner is a risky combo 🔥🕷️
I always check logs for stowaways, and tonight I rescued a beautifully camouflaged flatbug Aradus depressus from the fire 👀
It’ll be released onto dead wood in the garden to overwinter 🤞

Not sure exactly what's happened up by the Heathgates/Morrisons in #Shrewsbury, but the police have cordoned off the road between the roundabout and the entrance to Morrisons. No pedestrian or vehicular access.
Someone is "very not well" apparently, but unclear if it's an accident at this point.
