This photo shows a brightly colored dragonfly perched carefully on a fleshy green cactus pad. Sharp, light brown needles stick out from its edges. The dragonfly features a slender, powdery-blue abdomen contrasted by a pale green thorax with brownish stripes. Its large, compound eyes are a turquoise-blue color, and its intricate, translucent wings are spread open, catching the light. The background is heavily blurred vegetation.

The photo shows a vibrant, striped caterpillar peeking through lush green leaves. It features distinct, alternating bands of yellow, black, and white. Two long, black tentacle-like filaments extend from its head area. The caterpillar is nestled amid several green leaves with the focus on the insects face and upper body.

This macro photograph captures a vibrant black swallowtail caterpillar clinging to a green plant stem. The large caterpillar features distinct, alternating bands of black and white, accented by rows of bright yellow and orange spots. Small, black spikes protrude slightly from its body sections. Below and to the right, a smaller, darker caterpillar hangs suspended from a stem as it enters its pupal stage.

Question for EntomologySky, or BugSky, or InsectSky, or whatever the handle is these days. Which species of Aeshna is this? Seen in Central NY State. #dragonfly #darner
A large dragonfly, probably a mosaic darner. Base color is brown, with yellow stripes and dots

PLOT TWIST the alien weapon is way too big for the aliens to operate.

These two hopped onto some kid's lost toy, perfectly oblivious, I'd guess, to the belligerent nature of their perch. Bugs got your raygun, kid — sour persimmons, cousin!

A vibrant, close-up photograph of a fuzzy bumblebee perched at the center of a yellow flower. The main flower has numerous, long, slender yellow petals radiating outward. In the center, textured disc florets have tiny tubular structures opening up. The bumblebee is positioned right in the middle. Its translucent wings are slightly folded and its body covered in fine hairs, actively gathering pollen. The lighting is bright and warm, illuminating the petals from above and creating a soft glow. In the lower right corner, a portion of another identical yellow flower is visible. The background is softly blurred green foliage.

Well my initial positivity may have been a bit premature. The number of male moths caught in my pheromone trap has gone right up to this most days. Hoping I’m catching them before they’ve encountered any lady moths for the sake of my box hedges. No caterpillars spotted yet. #insectsky #gardensky

It's a fact.

Goldenrod beetles L O V E garlic chive blossoms 🌱🪲😳

#entomology
#insectsky
A large patch of garlic chive clumps, in full bloom of hundreds of tiny white star shaped flowers on tall green stems. Every cluster of blooms has at least one or two slender golden colored beetles sipping nectar. It's wild to see how one specific species all come together in droves for their favorite food source. These flowers are the favorite of so many other insects as well and it equates to the most popular buffet ever imagined

The image captures a close-up shot of a slender wasp exploring an empty butterfly chrysalis. Positioned at the top right of the pupal case, the wasp features a thin, elongated waist and a distinctly striped black and yellow abdomen. Its delicate, spindly legs are gripping the upper part of the chrysalis. The empty, papery pupal shell hangs vertically from the underside of a leaf, attached securely at the top. It exhibits a translucent, brownish-tan coloration with rough, textured ridges. There is a prominent opening on the side of the chrysalis where the butterfly previously emerged. The background is blutred green and yellow vegetation.

Have had more hummingbird hawk moths visit the garden this year than I ever have I think. Finally got some decent footage and pictures of them! Have got some Hedge Bedstraw seed to sow soon to hopefully get them breeding here too 1/3 #mothsky #insectsky #naturesky #gardensky

Uh, hey, anybody have any idea why there's suddenly a small swarm of house flies congregating in a corner of our living room? It's gone from four to nine in the last two hours and we can't tell where they're coming from. 😬

This black-and-white macro photograph captures a close-up, profile view of a swallowtail butterfly clinging to a vertical wooden twig shortly after eclosing. The insect is positioned vertically, facing left. It has white speckled dots along its abdomen and its wing has a pattern of light-colored spots against a dark background along the outer margins.The background consists of a soft, out-of-focus mesh.

The insect is positioned vertically, facing left. It has white speckled dots along its abdomen and its wing has a pattern of light-colored, triangular spots against a dark background along the outer margins. A long, slender "tail" extension is visible at the bottom tip of the hindwings. The butterfly grips a textured branch that features a prominent, glossy droplet of liquid near the top-left section. Below the butterfly, several chrysilides are attached to the same stick inside a butterfly house. The background consists of a soft, out-of-focus mesh.

It’s amazing how life finds its way. Caught a glimpse of this water (or diving) beetle in my barrel pond before. Just set it up this year and it’s already full of invertebrates that have just turned up. Hopefully some turn up that like filamentous algae lol #insectsky #pondsky #naturesky #gardensky
