This Australian sugar ant (Camponotus consobrinus) warns us to avoid approaching her nest too closely. Melbourne, Australia.

Macro photograph, in close-up, of a large ant facing directly at us with its mandibles open, each bearing six sharp teeth. The ant's head, thorax, and antennae are black, and the legs and anterior abdomen are dull orange.

A Pointed Ciliate Blue (Anthene lycaenina) spotted at Springleaf Park Connector, Singapore on 14 Dec 2024. A moderately rare butterfly, and I usually have to check the field guide to identify the butterflies in this family (the Blues).

On iNaturalist [ https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/255061501 ].

A small butterfly with a blueish body and brown wings. The forewing is slightly pointed at the time. A series of white bands line the edge of the wings, with one white mark in the middle of the hindwing.

Two cocoons of the Georgia mason bee (Osmia georgica) bejeweled with bright orange frass and leftover pollen grains, and separated by a layer of chewed leaves. Fresh from my insect hotel and likely a day or two away from emerging. Males will come out first and wait, very impatiently, for the females to arrive. #InsectHotel #BeeHotel #bees #hymenoptera #insects #pollen

Two cylindrical cocoons covered with orange poop that is reminiscent of candy sprinkles (jimmies).

A thread of how I sort through my insect hotels in advance of the season. #InsectHotel #BeeHotel #bees #wasps #hymenoptera #insects #pollinators 1/n

Three-level wood structure with a roof covered in snow, filled with various blocks of woods and trays that accommodate paper straws, so of which have been plugged with mud by wasps and bees.

Snow-covered wood structure that looks like a bird house but is instead filled with hollow stems and protected from birds by a wire grid.

Hay exoftalmos, donde los ojos protruyen, y luego están los gorgojos Exophthalmus, más agradables al a vista. Karl Kroeker #insectos #insects

Gorgojo cubierto de pequeñas manchas de colores, como si le hubieran caído gotas de pintura.

A Bag-shelter Moth (Ochrogaster lunifer) clinging for dear life onto a sliding metal door rail, hanging precipitously above a 1 inch drop to the decking far below.

So hairy!

Closeup of a small, incredibly furry brown and white moth, which we are looking downward on from above and to the side. Its head is completely covered in long, sticky-out hair. This hair also covers the upper parts of its legs. Smaller hairs then take over, covered its lower legs and even its wings. The moth clings onto the metal rail of a sliding door with three of its legs

Just baking the insect hotel, as one does, to kill any dermestid beetles, book lice, and mites that are hiding in the cracks after the bee and wasp cocoons have been removed. #BeeHotel #InsectHotel #bees #wasps #hymenoptera #insects #pollinators #entomology

Blocks of wood stacked on one another inside an oven. Each block has holes drilled to accommodate paper straws.

#BREAKING: the witch hazel flowers are fully unfurled. These flies are taking advantage—I was surprised to see them out and about!

A stout housefly-type fly (slightly out of focus) on a witch hazel flower, which has long, thin saffron-yellow petals around a glossy dark red central bit, sprouting from a thin bare branch.

A shiny metallic dark blue fly on a cluster of witch hazel flowers.

The fly clinging to one thin petal, ventral side facing the camera, so you can see its weird little fly face is dusted with yellow pollen.

Both felt magnets prototypes I had the time to assemble so far! 3 to go!

Two small felt magnets held in my hand out of a window overlooking sunny gardens. One of the magnets is a blue beetle and the other one is a smaller green, yellow and brown moth.

This is by far the tiniest item I have ever crated with felt!
This is one of my 5 upcoming handmade felt magnets! Because yes, a little magnet is hidden inside its belly and you can attach it anywhere that holds magnets!
I’m hoping to release them before the summer, so stay tuned!

A tiny green, brown and pale yellow felt moth held on the tip of my fingers in front of a sunlit garden. The moth has a brown body and orange embroidered eyes as well as two little antennas.

I’ve been doing some paring down because I ended up with some tiny annoying bugs on the sarracenia. It might be two kinds actually.

Do you remember what kind of pesticide you used on your white dots?
