Anthidium florentinum 💤

Cette abeille solitaire à la position étonnante est en faite en train de dormir.

A l'instar des chauve-souris aux pattes autoblocantes , cette abeille possède un verrouillage des mâchoires qui l'empêche de lâcher prise durant son sommeil.

Inspecter vos lavandes en été au petit matin et vous verrez sans doute ces jolies abeilles!

An oak gall I found in a Banj oak tree near home. Once it "hatched", I sent some specimens to ICAR-NBAIR (National Bureau of Agricultural Insect Resources), who told me that the specimens were Torymus sp. and Cynipoidea.

I didn't even know you could get two kinds of wasps out of a single gall.

I went to get a closer look at the lichen on this big old fir, and noticed the bark was absolutely swarming with these insects. They don’t look like the bark beetles that I can find in a search; anyone know? The wing pattern is quite distinctive. #mosstodon #LichenSubscribe #entomology #bugstodon

A leaf katydid or bush cricket from Sabah. This extraordinary fellow was sitting on the chair next to me at lunch. When it tired of me moving the chair to take photographs, it crawled over the edge and hung from the underside with its legs folded, looking like just a pair of leaves. 10/10 camouflage, 0/10 location.

Here's a northern flatid planthopper (Flatormenis proxima), the most abundant flatid in the eastern USA. It's noted for the waxy secretion it leaves behind when feeding (we don't know its purpose) and the 90-degree angle of the rear corner its wings. #backyardnature #entomology
