“Larva of Tenthredo Marginella”
This is not a caterpillar, but a larva of Tenthredo Marginella, which will become a wasp-like flying insect after molting.

Where are all the bees and other pollinators? I'm in mid-Missouri, about 90 miles south of St. Louis. A rural area. I'm at the edge of a forest with a mix natural fields, glades and woodland. Normally the various April/May wildflowers would be humming with a mix of bumble bees and various other wild bees, wasps, flies and butterflies. This year? NOTHING. Anyone else in the midwest US noticing such a thing?
aber einen balkenschröter dorcus parallelipipedus hab ich schon wieder, diesmal von vorn :3
beeindruckende tiere.

For #bumblebees new to foraging, researchers found that the foraging ‘rate of return’ was not maximised until at least 30 trips had been made from the nest.
Like us, #bees have to figure shit out and improve with experience!

A golden dragonfly on the wall next to our house. I've never seen one this color before. I think she was exhausted -- she didn't try to fly away when I photographed her up close.

Insect murmuration.
Am I the only person who thinks this is cool? I sent it to friends and they said it was gross…
Cerastipsocus venosus, tree cattle
They eat lichen so they’re ok.
I found this weevil during an #iNaturalist bioblitz at the Timberlake Biological Field Station. 30 participants documented 1,200+ species over the weekend!
I think this is Genus Odontocorynus,
a member of Flower Weevils Subfamily Baridinae.

Studies suggest that #bumblebees with black/mainly black colouration tend to be found in tropical environments, with red colouration in highlands and with pale yellow/yellow colouration in mid-temperate environments.

Weil sie so schön sind, gerade noch ein Männchen der Frühen Adonislibelle. Das Foto ist am Sonntag am Franzoseneck aufgenommen
