Swiss Army Nerd<p>Here's a young European mantis (Mantis religiosa) on the prowl. As the name suggests, they were introduced to North America from Europe; they were soon recognized as beneficial predators, and their egg cases are often purchased by gardeners. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/backyardnature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>backyardnature</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/entomology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>entomology</span></a></p>

Colin Purrington<p>Stumbled onto this gem while admiring observations in iNaturalist's Gall Week 2025 project. The two-tailed gumtree gall (Apiomorpha duplex) is, per "Brisbane Insects and Spiders" blog, the world's largest gall. Like many galls made by scale insects in the Eriococcidae, the species makes sexually-dimorphic galls. This gall is induced by a female; male galls are knobs on leaves and don't seem to be photographed much. <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/GallWeek2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GallWeek2025</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/eucalyptus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>eucalyptus</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/gall" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>gall</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/galls" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>galls</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/homoptera" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>homoptera</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/insect" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>insect</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/gumtree" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>gumtree</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/entomology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>entomology</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/inaturalist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>inaturalist</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/australia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>australia</span></a><br><a href="https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/312424393" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">inaturalist.org/observations/3</span><span class="invisible">12424393</span></a></p>

We’re starting to see more Queen Butterfly eggs & larvae on our Milkweeds (1st time since May; here they are in my Perpetual Journal). I love watching butterflies’ life cycle from egg>caterpillar>chrysalis>butterfly!

This #backyardnature visitor is the silver-spotted skipper (Epargyreus clarus), found across most of North America. Their larvae eat the leaves of leguminous plants like locust, wisteria, and alfalfa, while the adults feed on nectar. Oddly, adults almost never visit yellow flowers. #entomology
Nighttime sugaring for moths was so popular in the late 1800s that people tacked name cards onto the trees they'd painted to warn off other collectors. Per a book from the time (Furneaux 1894), "each entomologist has a moral right to a run he has baited, and that it is considered ungentlemanly, if not unjust, to take insects from sugar laid by another." #moth #moths #sugaring #insects #lepidoptera #entomology
So apparently the addition of asafoetida gets more moths to show up at sugaring mixes such as beer, molasses, and rum. #moth #moths #mothing #beetles #nocturnal #lepidoptera #insects #sugaring #entomology #sulphur #noctuidae
