It's been a while since I've posted about our grass to native meadow project. Killing grass takes a long time and there is a drought. But recent rain has black eyed susan, self heal, and yarrow starting to show off. Insects are plentiful and dormant seeds are suddenly sprouting like crazy

Exploding ants!? More likely than you might think! Any unique insect physiology that comes to mind? Share in the comments!

Dragonflies have some unique hunting strategies and life cycles! What are your favorite species of insects, or unique insect behaviours?

oh Tom this is very cool! it looks like it's an 'oblique' gynandromorph, as per this paper! I've never quite seen one with such defined patterning. www.researchgate.net/publication/...

#Bugsky 🐙🌿 Shared with me by a fof in SoCal - this is a gynandromorph (both male & female) valley carpenter bee (Xylocopa sonorina). Females are black, males orange, so the extreme color dimorphism really stands out. Per Doug Yanega at UC Riverside, bee gynandromorphs he’s seen are mosaic instead—

I love my neighborhood 🏳️‍🌈
