@futurebird @FandaSin @davep @ninawillburger Every june, near the solstice, the ants who lived under my cottage and kept the termites away would have a flight. The archway to my porch would be arc’s with alates and attendants.I’d sit with them and watch

The retractable antennae of Mycetophylax fungus-farming ants leave such a distinct scrobe on the head. Photo from a few years ago from Mindo, Ecuador. This is possibly an undescribed species. Too many ants, not enough taxonomists. #Ants #Insects #Formicidae #Mycetophylax

The Red Edge (Semanga superba) spotted at Lornie Park Connector, Singapore on 22 March 2026. A lovely, uncommon butterfly with an unmistakable red edge on its hindwings, hence its common name. I haven't seen it for several years.On iNaturalist [ https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/344395892 ].#iNaturalist #Nature #Photography #Singapore #Insects #Butterflies #Lepidoptera

@b_age Ein kleines Teufelchen.

A fascinating mutualistic relationship on a branch in my garden — red wood ants (Formica sp.) tending a dense colony of black aphids. The ants protect the aphids from predators in exchange for the sweet honeydew the aphids secrete. Nature is full of these unexpected alliances! Een fascinerend mutualistisch tafereel op een tak in mijn tuin — rode mieren (Formica sp.) die een dichte kolonie zwarte bladluizen bewaken. De mieren beschermen de bladluizen tegen roofdieren, in ruil voor de zoete honingdauw die de bladluizen afscheiden. De natuur zit vol zulke onverwachte samenwerkingen! #mieren #ants #bladluizen #aphids #natuur #nature #tuin #garden #tuinleven #gardening #insecten #insects #biodiversiteit #biodiversity #DorgaldirsGarden #Dorgaldirs_Garden

@b_age Beinahe schade. Andererseits: es kann offenbar nur Eine geben. 🥹

🪲 Researchers are studying the mathematical models that allow thousands of #fireflies to blink in perfect unison.By observing these bioluminescent #insects, scientists can better understand how decentralized systems coordinate complex behaviors without a single leader. https://arstechnica.com/science/2026/03/the-science-of-how-fireflies-stay-in-sync/#biology #physics #nature #science #wildlife #entomology #math #bioluminesence

Some more pics of rosemary beetles.I missed these guys when I was in Canada. They're fairly common here, but they're very beautiful and always a joy to photograph.#photography #macro #wildlife #insects #beetle #beetles

@Cyanocitta What a beautiful color!

An incipient paper wasp nest built under the shelter of a large, partly curled leaf. Guanica dry forest reserve, Puerto Rico.The different eye colors of the two insects are age-related; the individual with black eyes has only recently emerged.#Wasps #Mischocyttarus #Insects #Photography
