If that isn’t the prettiest little stream cruiser, I don’t know what is! 💚
Look at those tarsal claws. 👀
And did you notice the labial mask? 🙂

I saw at least 8 of these giant water bugs up out of the water yesterday. This is probably Belostoma flumineum, not the most giant of the giant water bugs. Neat to see this behavior even though I have no idea what they're up to. #aquaticInsects #macro

Happy Insect Week!
Day 3: Diving Beetle
🪲The predacious diving beetle larvae are known as "water tigers" because of their appetite. They have strong jaws and inject enzymes into prey, then suck up their remains. Brutal.

Hi Everyone-
Happy (upcoming) New Year to all of you. I’m not a fan of #Fireworks so here is some “natural” fireworks. Thanks for your tweets or research on #LightPollution the #NightSky, or sensitive species, like #Bats #Fireflies, #Moths, #Seaturtles, #Birds #AquaticInsects!

Pesticide contamination moves through the food web, from #aquaticinsects to terrestrial birds and bats. Researchers find increasing threats to both aquatic and terrestrial #foodwebs with insect transmission of #pesticide residues from water to land. #DailyNews

Sincere thanks to Rhonda Weiss for this breathtaking photo of a #dragonfly, one of our favorite favorite #aquaticinsects and an important #mosquitopredator. Share your art:#pesticidefree

New @royentsoc.bsky.social #ResearchHighlight available!

An #OpenAccess study found that temperatures & lower oxygen levels in water are causing #AquaticInsects to become smaller & experience increased mortality, with potential disruptions to aquatic ecosystems.
