Dis bonjour à Saperda scalaris, la Saperde à échelons. C'est un magnifique #longicorne dont la larve se nourrit de bois mort, feuillu de préférence. Pas courante mais présente un peu partout en Europe.
Eh bien entre elle et la Rosalie des Alpes sur le pas de notre porte, on en prend plein les mirettes !

For some reason, this beetle puts me in mind of a small rabbit. Neoptychodes trilineatus. #Insect #Entomology #Coleptera #Photography #insectPhotography #Beetle #Cerambycidae

Three beetles from a #SLAM (#Malaise) trap in #Canberra, 22-27 January 2023.
#Staphylinidae, I believe #Tachyporinae: https://inaturalist.ala.org.au/observations/147887745
#Cerambycidae (I find it amazing how hard it is to place these to species): https://inaturalist.ala.org.au/observations/147887747
One that I thought would be an easy fit for Scolytiae or one of the other wood-boring groups, but which is completely stumping me right now: https://inaturalist.ala.org.au/observations/147887738

Another #Cerambycidae for your daily #InverteFest viewing pleasure. This is the Red Milkweed #Beetle, #Tetraopes tetrophthalmus. The base of the antennae actually bisect their eyes - inspiring their Latin name.

Wednesday’s #InverteFest is…a Locust Borer! I found this #Megacyllene robiniae in a field of #Salidago spp. (#Goldenrod ). on the sidelines of a construction site in Lawrenceville, #Pittsburgh PA. I am in love with #Cerambycidae for obvious reasons - but this one is particularly interesting because of their #Aposematism. Lots of insects take on the likeness of wasps and bees because predators associate them with stingers or chemical defenses - neither of which the Locust Borer has. They feed on goldenrod pollen and have the most adorable dense setae.

Next we have this tiny #gall I found sitting in some #Cladonia that looks like something a fairy designed. The powder caps were so funky and found not far from the Pretzel #SlimeMold! The Locust Borer was found on some goldenrod at a construction site near my home. #Cerambycidae is definitely in my top 3 favorite #Coleoptera families.

Four more insects from the #Malaise trap, Canberra, ACT, 26 August to 2 September 2022
1. #Ichneumoninae sp. - I'll key out at least the genus soon.
2. #Orthocentrus sp. (#Ichneumonidae) - probably the commonest #ichneumon #wasp (or set of externally similar species) in my garden
3. #Pentacladus eucalypti (a #BarkLouse #Elipsocidae)
4. #Lamiinae sp. (a #LonghornBeetle #Cerambycidae) - I always find these harder to identify than I would expect
