Intelligent alien species based on bugs but specifically those moths that don’t have mouths and only live for a week after they pupate. This species’ whole conscious life is actually in the larval phase; larvae are the ones considered people, larvae are the ones with conscious and complex brains who build society, and each instar of the larva is treated as a different phase of life. Larvae become emotionally and socially and cognitively mature without ever becoming sexually mature. When they pupate, they metamorphose into something different and strange and close to mindless, with no mouth and no digestive system, whose only instincts are to mate and then quickly die. Metamorphosis is treated, functionally, like a person’s death, and the imago phase is a kind of proto-afterlife of majestic flight and the continuation of the species. Birth and death inextricably intertwined. Sex is not something people do during their lives, it’s a thing that is done as an imago after you’ve passed on from your life but before you return to the soil in death. Resultant eggs are collected by family members to raise. I think this would be fun.

Bug-themed names for babies i think i could get away with:

-Katydid -Actias -Coleoptera (we call her Leo) -Caddis Not quite making the short list but we should remain open minded: -Benthic macroinvertebrate -Deathwatch beetle -Mystery Snail -Thrip

#also my blog name. that's bugs names to get away with #mybugsname

This is easily one of the CRAZIEST videos I've ever gotten. I was rafting down a river when a Yellow Jacket came, landed on my bright pink waterproof phone pouch, and started drinking from the water droplets that had gathered there.

The most amazing part is how the water droplet magnifies the Hornet's mouth parts, so you get to see them up-close!!!! It was FASCINATING to witness!

Here's some of my favorite still shots from that video:

What do you think? 🥰

Today's wasp of the day is Fox's velvet ants (Dasymutilla foxi)!

Often times with wasps, the slightest difference in color or pattern can be all the visual cues there are to indicate that two superficially similar individuals are actually different species. That's what was considered the case for several velvet ants, until further research told us that nope, they are in fact the same species.

These fuzzles can be seen sporting white, black, yellow, red, or any of the above. These variations do not seem to be region based, as they can all be found within the same range. When it comes to distinguishing them from other species of velvet ants, what it largely comes down to is size, location, and any discernible difference visible for males (though males often look similar across multiple species of velvet ants, so good luck there)

Hello! My mom is newly obsessed with fairy shrimp; any cool facts about them?

TODAY'S FACT IS

Did you know that the Holman Fairy Shrimp (Eubranchipus holmanii) is a found in clean, freshwater vernal pools in eastern Canada and the US? While it was officially described in 1879, records of it were sparse and inconclusive. A lifespan of 70 days doesn't help with this. The eggs of this species are drought resistant and laid in the substrate of the shallow pool and will hatch the next season it's sustainable.

BIG LOBSTER NEWS apparently an orange lobster at the university of New England had babies and half of them are orange and half are normal

So the answer is yes. Weirdly colored lobsters do have weirdly colored babies.

Today's wasp of the day is Brachymeria minuta!

Credits: photo 1, photo 2

While there are many wasps who are hyper-specialized in using one type of host, there are also many wasps that seem to keep their options open. This minuscule rabbit right here is capable of using pupae from either lepidoptera (aka butterflies/moths) or from diptera (aka flies). Different types of hosts means different degrees of potential, though. Since lepidopteran pupae are often larger and meatier, B. minuta can jam pack more of her eggs in, earning her the status of a "gregarious" parasitoid; for diptera there's typically only enough room for one egg per pupa, thus making it a case of "solitary" parasitoidism. Obviously more eggs means more chances of species survival, but hey one is better than none.

I'm always a fan of when wasps use their hind legs to groom but its always especially silly when they have big ol gams like many chalcids do

#awwwww #it's like a dog scratching her ear #soooo cute

Could we get a fact on an insect that went extinct relatively recently?

You have subscribed to DAILY BUG FACTS

TODAY'S FACT IS

Did you know that the Xerces Blue (Glaucopsyche xerces) is an extinct butterfly last seen in the early 1940s? It is believed to be the first American butterfly to become extinct due to loss of habitat for human urbanization. This butterfly lived in the sand dunes of the San Francisco peninsula in the US.

These butterflies fed on two different kinds of plants: lotus and lupine flowers. The adults fed on the lupines and the larvae fed on the lotus. The local lotus flowers were devastated by the urbanization, leaving the caterpillars without a food source and they never adapted.

Various organizations have reintroduced the closest living relative in order to try to revive this species via selective breeding and gene manipulation.

Dailybugfacts! I have found a moth that I think you'll like!

It's the Macrocilix maia moth, and how it uses camouflage is so cool! It looks like it has bugs on its wings!!!

TODAY'S FACT IS

Did you know that Macrocilix Maia is a moth found in parts of southeast Asia? They are mostly known for the patterns on their wings. The forewings depict flies pointed toward the abdomen. The hindwings have a splotch in the bottom corner that, when they converge, look like bird droppings. The fake flies are "eating" the fake droppings. The larvae are known to feed on the leaves of Chinese cork oak trees.
