This eyed elater landed on my leg as I was sitting down. It then just sat on my hand for a while. #Nature #Insects #Naturephotography #Houston #Texas
Eyed elater the size of my thumb. Eyed elater sitting on my hand. Eyed elater just chilling. Eyed elater, while out of shot is a giant alligator.

Enjoy some spooky-coded lads for spook day🎃✨

Acherontia atropos - African death's-head hawkmoth
Alaus oculatus - Eyed Elater Beetle
Cyclocosmia - Ravine Trapdoor Spider

🎨 #bugart #bugs #halloween
A digital illustration featuring an african death's-head hawkmoth, an eyed elater beetle, and a ravine trapdoor spider working together to carve a pumpkin bigger than they are. The deaths head hawkmoth is grey and brown with cream and orange wavey strpes on its wings, and a skull-like pattern on the fur of its thorax. It uses a toothpick to stab a rough triangle eye into the pumpkin. The eyed elater beetle is grey with cream speckles, a stripey elytron, and two black spots circled with white on its thorax, resembling voided eyes. It crouches on the ground, stabbing a rough mouth into the pumpkin with an iron nail. The ravine trapdoor spider is brownish-grey transitioning to red and orange on its legs, face, and edges of its thorax and abdomen. Its abdomen is flat on the end like a cork and is patterned as if embossed with swirls and radiating lines, resembling an ancient artifact or coin. The spider is using a cheese knife to neatly slice in a line for the other eye. pumpkin juice, pumpkin bits and pumpkin seeds litter the ground below them. There are more uncarved pumpkins and foliage in the background. The signiature in the bottom right hand corner reads "Quilbug, Halloween 2024".

Seeing spots!?

Some insects I’ve never seen before (-other than the ladybug 🐞 😊) & found very interesting 🤔

I’ve listed what the phone Visual Look Up has decided the other two are

Sometimes the bugs around here are cool. This click beetle is referred to as an “eyed elater”.

🌳🪲New paper out in Insect Conservation & Diversity!🪲🌳

Our new study explores how urbanisation affects the rusty click beetle (Elater ferrugineus) - a near-threatened saproxylic species related to old trees and deadwood-rich ecosystems.

The eyed elater! Alaus oculatus. Take a close look at the “eyes”; they are not just colored black but have a physical microstructure that basically eats light, resulting in a sort of void superblack.

Have an Eyed Elater (alaus oculatus) this lovely Thursday morning
A close up of an eyed elater beetle. It’s elongated with a black shell that is mottled with white splotches. The most prominent feature are a pair of fake “eyes” on its back that it uses to scare off predators. Another angle. A close up of an eyed elater beetle.

Then aftering playing #signalis it felt right to have my gal Elater sweep the first boss like I did!

We'd find the little ones shucking corn when I was a kid and when I found an Eyed Elater I was, well, elated. Such neat little insects.

I made a little design that's basically if a hoop roller were a weapon. I know a chakram of this size isn't accurate, but nothing of mine is accurate.

#oc #ocsky #digitalart
There's a chibi character dressed in a dusty shade of green with antique gold accents. Beside him is an abnormally large chakram; the stick (also called an elater) is more like a sharp pick. Beside that are pendants with and without red tassels and a drinking gourd.
