Is #sentinel prey useful for estimation of biological #pests in arable fields? Gardarin et al. observed with cameras that classic #aphid cards were consumed by completely different predators than unattached bruchid beetle larvae. Read more here: @gfoe https://doi.org/10.1016/j.baae.2023.07.002

And on a nearby leaf I also found an mummified #aphid with a big hole in it. That's where the wasp exited.

And yesterday I found this little mummified #aphid.
Here it are little wasps that parasite on aphids. They lay there eggs inside livind aphids and their young eat the aphid from the inside.....

#Cotton blue #disease, caused by the polerovirus cotton leafroll dwarf #virus is found in cotton growing areas of Africa, South America, Asia and since 2018 also in North America. It is efficiently transmitted by the cotton #aphid (Aphis gossypii) and can cause significant yield losses - review in Molecular Plant Pathology (2023, vol. 24, issue 6, pp. 513-526) by Surendra R. Edula and others - https://doi.org/10.1111/mpp.13335

A 10 mm long red-legged #robberfly (#Dioctria rufipes) having lunch. This species of robber fly can be found throughout most of Europe.
Once again, there is an #aphid #photobombing my shot.

Life and death on the underside of a nettle leaf: foreground left an #aphid gives birth to a live nymph. Behind her is a #fly recently killed by an #entomopathogenic #fungus, probably #Entomophthora muscae. The posture of the fly is typical for one killed by this fungus: on the underside of the leaf, abdomen stuck out, wings forwards. This is all #BehaviouralModification by the fungus to enhance the spread of the sticky infectious spores that are being released from the abdomen.

Whilst bees hog the pollinator limelight the role #hoverflies play in this area should not be overlooked.
Hoverflies don’t ‘carry’ as much pollen as bees but visit more plants. They also help to control #aphid numbers.

An unusual observation of a fruit expert brought to the attention of an #entomologist, lead to a scientific paper and outreach a call for more information from #Gardeners #RoyalHorticulturalSociety #entomology #aphid #communityscience #citizenscience https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/feb/12/track-willow-aphid-gardeners-royal-horticultural-society-scientists

Finally (drumroll) the most abundant species in the processed samples.

Things I would never have recorded myself:

Cortinicara gibbosa (#beetle), Dumbletoniella callistemoni and Trialeurodes vaporiarorum (#WhiteFlies), Psychoda albipennis (#MothFly), Lycoriella sativae (#FungusGnat), Aphis spiraecola (#Aphid)

Three #moths. Two (Hoplostega ochroma and Phelotis cognata) are very familiar. I recognise Bedellia somnulentella, but I would never have been confident on the species otherwise.

5/5
