@rogerhorton.bsky.socialWhat I think are galls of Didymomyia tiliacea, what else but the Lime Gall Midge on Common Lime at Anglesey Abbey #Cambridge this afternoon. At the stage where the single larva in each gall has fallen out to pupate on the ground.

@heidi-lemoulin.bsky.socialWe have the fabulous Erica McAlister staying next week and she will be giving a talk at Le Moulin on invertebrates and then we're all walking to a resto for Sunday lunch.
I guess you are all too far away to come but I just wanted to show off a little.

@calybites.bsky.socialThis Tachinid fly is one of two that emerged from a Comma pupa.
They had obviously parasitised the caterpillar before it pupated.

@jtkindt.bsky.socialI’ve never played Assassin’s Creed, but I imagine this is the vibe.
(Promachus rufipes robberfly with bumblebee prey.)
@markodraisma.bsky.social#diptera #ElkeDagEenInsect mannetje dit keer. De foto's die ik ooit vast heb gezet bij mijn profiel betreffen een vrouwtje.
@jtkindt.bsky.socialDon’t worry little soldier fly, I’ll keep the Jorō spider webs out of the yard!
Microchrysa flaviventris female. Looking closely at wing venation the discal cell is partially open in this species.
@jillwhitelock.bsky.socialFly time. #Hoverflies #Diptera
@jtkindt.bsky.social“They’re feeding on things that we would consider pests…A lot of little flies.”
HOW DARE THEY!

@jillwhitelock.bsky.socialFemale Volucella zonaria on Ivy in Ely at the weekend. #WildWebsWednesday #Hoverflies #Diptera
@viccbrown.bsky.socialMy 6th record of Callicera spinolae (Ivy Longhorn Hoverfly) on Ivy in my S. Cambridgeshire garden this autumn and the 3rd male. Unlike the previous 2 males, he wasn't camera-shy, and I got some better photos of this incredibly rare UK BAP Priority Species.
@fabledferns.bsky.sociallast upload for a little while before i start my last year of grad school (!) to become a therapist (!!!)
but i’ve had this idea floating in my head for a while based on my favorite insect, the stalk eyed fly! goofiest bugs in the world <3
@jillwhitelock.bsky.socialMarmalade hoverfly in the garden this weekend. So nice to see one, not so many around now. #Hoverflies #Diptera
