One of my favorite fly species is #Laphria saffrana. Many species in the genus Laphria mimic #bees , but this species is thought to mimic a wasp!

I love it when the name of an animal helps you to remember what it is! Anna's 88 is the best name, and science name: Diaethria anna beautiful! ...these butterflies like to feed on dung... #taxonomytuesday

Bosmina longirostris
#TaxonomyTuesday

Feeding under the bark of oak twigs and branches, this tiny bark beetle is probably one of the most common in the Eastern US. Pseudopityophthorus minutissimus (Zimmermann, 1868)

Spent a rainy #taxonomytuesday redescribing this funky lady. Gasteruption angusticeps Pasteels. Easily recognised by the wacky tapering of the postocular space (behind the eyes) and her stripy metasoma. A nice wasp for a rainy day :) #Hymenoptera #wasplove #science

The curious thing about bark beetles, is they don’t actually bark. #TaxonomyTuesday
