Hegemona lineata, Belize.
One of my favorite local planthoppers, Dictyonissus griphus. Such distinctive wing venation.
A tiny grasshopper. A small original artwork at just £25 that can be sent direct as a gift with a message and will easily fit in a standard letterbox.

I spent yesterday at Travis Wetland, Ōruapaeroa, which is a large wetland restoration site in eastern Ōtautahi-Christchurch, NZ. One of my MSc students, Tommy, is embarking on an invertebrate survey of the wetland, and we spent the day setting up Malaise traps (to catching flying insects) and pitfall traps (to catch invertebrates on the ground).
Tommy is repeating a survey done back in 1995–1996, when the wetland (then mostly wet farmland) was being purchased from a housing developer by the City Council.
We expect a lot to have changed (hopefully mostly for the better) as the vegetation of the wetland is much more diverse and native than it was.
Stay tuned over the summer for insect discoveries.

The genus name for American harvester ants, Pogonomyrmex, means "bearded ant", and it refers to a basket of hairs on the underside of the head that helps these desert ants carry dry sand.

Big, beautiful dragonfly.

Well that is disturbing. The results of this year's #BugsMatter survey are in, and show a continued decline in flying insect populations in the UK.
Down by 59% since 2021. Now I'm no insect ecologist, but that sounds like a scarily large decline to me.
The great insect die-off. Cartoon from 2019.
