The nymph of a Mangrove Jewel Bug (Calliphara nobilis) spotted at Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve, Singapore, on 6 Nov 2022. It was only later, while looking at the photos, did I notice that a Pseudoscorpion (order Pseudoscorpiones) was clinging on to its leg. 🙂

Very true, same goes for all the #beekeeper's I know. Personally, I'm a fan of the #topbarhive with a so called #ecofloor. Effectively just means having leaves and bark covering the metal mesh. The overall idea being to emulate a natural environment much as a hole in a tree and to provide space for an ecosystem of beneficial insects.

Also rather controversial...

While taking shots of this Ichneumonid Wasp (family Ichneumonidae), I noticed something on its back leg. Zooming in, I saw it had a hitch-hiker: a Chernetid Pseudoscorpion (family Chernetidae). Taken at Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve, Singapore, on 1 May 2022.

An observation from July 2021. An Ichneumonid Wasp (family Ichneumonidae) spotted at Upper Seletar Reservoir Park, Singapore. It was only later that I noticed that it had a Pseudoscorpion (order Pseudoscorpiones) hanging on to it.

A shot of a pretty Ichneumonid Wasp (family Ichneumonidae). It was only later did I notice there was a Pseudoscorpion (order Pseudoscorpiones) hanging on to its antenna. 🙂 Taken at Upper Seletar Reservoir Park, Singapore, on 18 July 2021.
