Motherfucking wind farms…

Fantastic result and a great collaboration! 🧪 Looking forward to work more on #airborne #eDNA

During my Saturday walk, I was lucky enough to spot the endangered Fringed-Helmet Orchid, #Corybas fimbriatus! As you can see from the photos, that's a very #small #orchid!!

A study of the psyllids on Norfolk Island reports a total of 14 species, including two new species and eight new records: doi.org/10.3897/zook... @cescomartons.bsky.social

This year I could finally spot the Lady's Slipper #orchid (Cypripedium calceolus), in the Adamello-Brenta National Park, #Italy. Such a wonderful flower!

Another shot from Dr. Beynon's Bug Farm in Pembrokeshire. Spittlebug nymphs #Cercopidae hide in foamy sap bubbles as they feed. What looks like spit is a clever shelter for these tiny sap-suckers. Many people walk right by these! 🪲🪳🌿 #Invert #Bugsky #macrophotography #hemiptera #entomology

🧪NEW SPECIES🐝🐞🐛🦋🧪 An annotated checklist of the #psyllids of #Norfolk #Island with keys to #species, new records, and descriptions of two new endemic species We described two new psyllid species, Acizzia aliceae & Pseudophacopteron ewagriini And I have a great story🧵 doi.org/10.3897/zook...

Meneristes australis (#Tenebrionidae), from Victoria, #Australia. #WildOZ #ozinverts #entomology #insects 🧪

Of all the #Australian #psyllids, Protyora sterculiae (Carsidaridae) is one of my favorites. Nymphs exudate excess sugars in filaments that go in all directions, almost star-shaped. You can lick them, they're super sweet! In the 📸: an adult, nymphs and even eggs! #WildOZ #ozinvert 🧪

Today's #WeirdInsect award goes to the Australian Wingless Soldier #Fly (Boreoides subulatus). I feel like we need more #Weird #Insects and cool #entomology finds, here on #BlueSky! 🧪🔬🐝🐞🐛🦋🐜

Yesterday I saw my first #Lycid-mimicking #moth, Snellenia lineata (left).. and it definitely fooled me!! A nice Lycid #beetle on the right, for comparison. #insects #entomology #Biodiversity #Australia 🧪

We have a few fantastic #entomology PhD opportunities available in our team at Agriculture Victoria, in association with La Trobe University, Australia 🇦🇺 😄

✨ #ENTOMOLOGY #PhD POSITION ✨ Optimising sampling for surveillance and diagnostics of grain #pests. Working with us at #AgricultureVictoria, in Melbourne, Australia. On the beautiful campus of @latrobeuni.bsky.social.

Enjoy this one with volume up! #entomology #beetles

First day on here! How do I get added to ento and science starter packs? I offer a beautiful psyllid (Creiis longipennis) emerging from its lerp and nymph, I guess 😍
