Graphical abstract: Nuclear SNP data (MIG-seq) revealed clear genetic differentiation and low genetic diversity among island populations of Swertia noguchiana. The results suggest population divergence with limited recent gene flow.

Slender flower longhorn beetle (Strangalia famelica) on Cumberland rose gentian (Sabatia capitata). Dreaming of summer flowers for #PinkMon today.

#ColorADay #Cerambycidae #MacroMonday #BugSky #Coleoptera #Gentianaceae #Bloomscrolling
A slender flower longhorn beetle on Cumberland rose gentian. The flower, which has eight pink petals and many curved bright yellow styles in the center, takes up most of the frame. The background is soft focus crisscrossing grasses and stems and leaves of other plants. The beetle is photographed from overhead and is resting on the bottom few petals of the flower, facing the bottom right corner of the frame. The beetle has a long, slender body that tapers gradually. Long wings, mostly a pale yellow similar to mustard (the yellow kind you would get in packets at a fast food place) cover the beetle's abdomen. The bottom quarter or so of the wings are dark amber brown, with a black triangle separating the yellow and brown sections of the wings. The thorax is reddish brown with two vertical black stripes, the head is small and dark reddish brown, and the beetle has very long black antennae and long legs, mostly black but with somewhat thicker femurs that are orange-red.

Smicronychini weevils are the only insect group to radiate on both parasitic plants (dodders, broomrapes) and non-parasitic hosts (Asteraceae, Gentianaceae). Some species even develop inside parasites before completing growth in the host plant.

Flowers of centaury, Centaurium erythraea (#Gentianaceae). Stereo pair (instructions in ALT). #bloomscrolling 🌱🇳🇿
Front and side photos (as stereo pairs) of a small pink flower with 5 pink petals and yellow stigma and anthers. The stigma is held to one side of the flower and the clump of anthers to the other, a spatial separation referred to as herkogamy. To view, you can make the picture small and start with your face very close to it so each eye looks at a different picture, then slowly move away keeping the two images merged until it comes into focus. Or use a viewer like the one in my book or LSC's Owl Lite viewer. On screen, two cardboard tubes can also help direct your eyes to their correct pictures.
