Coelioxys slossoni ssp. slossoni is a sharptail cuckoo bee that doesn't seem to have a common name. A kleptoparasite, it lays eggs in the nest cells of leafcutting bees (like the White-footed Leafcutter recently posted) and its larva eat the host pollen. #Florida #invertebrate #insect #macro

Coelioxys slossoni ssp. slossoni - an interesting sharptail cuckoo bee is hanging upside down to a dead flower stem, clinging with its front four legs and mandibles, resting and waiting for rain to come in. The bee has a segmented rusty red thorax and legs, warm dark brown wings, black body, head, and antennae, with pale yellow in the eye. Though it has a bit of white fuzz in places, it does not have the hairs seen on pollen collecting bees, since it is klepto parasitic and its offspring steal the pollen from host bees. The background of this vertical frame is shades of green.

This butterfly actually wants your messy lawn unmowed.

Its caterpillars eat lawn grass, so this is one of the few butterflies that genuinely thrives on a suburban lawn.

#SICB #job board update

The Division of #Invertebrate #Zoology at the (AMNH) seeks an outstanding tenure-track Assistant #Curator/Assistant Professor with expertise in the #evolution of #Lepidoptera,
careers.amnh.org/postings/4923.

sicb.org/jobs-and-fel...

We seek an innovative #evolutionary #biologist who will develop a world-leading, collections-based research program in Lepidoptera. The successful candidate will integrate modern approaches in evolutionary biology with genomics, imaging, computational biology, #biodiversity informatics, and/or other emerging computational approaches. We are particularly interested in scientists who envision natural-history collections not simply as repositories of specimens, but as powerful research platforms for addressing fundamental questions about evolution, biodiversity, and environmental change.

The ideal candidate will have a record of high-impact scholarship, strong potential for extramural funding, and the vision to establish an internationally recognized independent research program. Research interests may include, but are not limited to, systematics, morphology, comparative genomics, biogeography, and/or macroevolution. We are especially interested in candidates who combine organismal biology with emerging computational approaches, including machine learning, computer vision, automated specimen identification, large-scale image analysis, and other data-intensive methods for understanding biodiversity.

Excellent knowledge of #moth and #butterfly diversity is essential.

Research and Collections

The successful candidate will conduct original scientific research on Lepidoptera; steward and develop the Museum’s #Lepidoptera collection; and expand the collection through fieldwork, strategic collecting, and other accessions.

Opportunities include developing methods to extract new information from historical specimens; applying machine learning and advanced analytical methods to specimen images and biodiversity data; integrating museum specimens with genomic and environmental datasets; and developing computational approaches that accelerate species discovery, identification, classification, and our understanding of evolutionary change.

Re-homed the last of the babies just now, to a more abundant and open garden in the neighbourhood. I’ll miss the annoying little basil-killers and everywhere-poopers. 🦗🦗🦗

the threads. When prey gets stuck, the larva pulls it up by ingesting the snare & starts feeding on the prey alive.

These are a limited edition reduction lino block print. Each is made with glow in the dark ink, so the prints themselves glow like the glowworms.

series of tubules develop from the walls of the cockle’s digestive system which are a safe environment for them to live and photosynthesize, producing metabolites which help the cockle.
