I found this handsome longhorn beetle on the outside of our house last night. My daughter likened it to a 1970s station wagon from the movies, complete with wooden trim.
It's an endemic NZ species commonly called a lemon tree borer, although its larvae bore into many native trees as well. Here in Ōtautahi-Christchurch they've mostly been seen on #iNaturalist in October–December, so it's right on time.

Hi!
Let's have this #introduction.
I'm a biology student based in Northern Germany, interested in #ecology and #entomology, especially #beetles
Currently, I'm working on my bachelor's thesis about the biodiversity of rove beetles ( #Staphylinidae) in a Hamburg nature reserve.
My posts will be in English and German and you'll hopefully find a lot of #nature pictures here.
Besides #insects, I'm also interested in #photography, #books / #reading and #baking
I'm not new on Mastodon itself, but I missed #biology related content, so be the change, I guess.

The fine velvety hairs on this Lutrochus travertine beetle trap air like a little bug scuba tank to help it breathe underwater. Arizona.
it's #WeevilWednesday, here's Acanthoscelidius acephala which I find on evening primrose. I'm obsessed with how their faces look like "^|^" from a certain angle when they have their heads tucked in!!

It's #WeevilWednesday, post 'em if you got 'em!
These little bluish-black weevils were all over the cosmos in a park. Not sure if #Curculionidae or #Brentidae, subfamily #Apioninae.

The Japanese beetle, an aggressively invasive insect species, has been detected for the first time in France, authorities in the east of the country said Tuesday. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/environment/2025/07/09/wildlife/france-japan-beetles/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #environment #wildlife #beetles #france #environment

"How does a dung beetle find its way around?" In the dark, and while pushing a giant ball of dung.
