Sometimes I forget that Massachusetts stole a lot of town/city names from England. I'll see a cool bug post and get all excited thinking "no way, I didn't know that lived here" until I notice the UK hashtags 😭

ZOOM IN! This was one of my rarest photos ever. 1 because I actually caught this hornet pulling a bee from a spiders web a literally taking its head off and 2 because it was taken with flash lol.

I don't understand why the first thing people talk about whenever they find out I like bugs is how they kill them. I don't get if it's some weird attempt at connecting with me or what, but I feel like if you think about it for more than two seconds, you'd realize you're being a jerk.

If you use the common name "red headed bush cricket" for Phyllopalpus pulchellus instead of "handsome trig" you are simply allergic to whimsy and fun

Sorry for the crappy quality, but here's a handsome trig (Phyllopalpus pulchellus) stridulating! I've always thought it was so cool how one of the wings has a transparent membrane. #bugsky #entomology #massnature #cricket

Yesterday, the monarch emerged from their chrysalis! Have this video of them scaling the plant to remember that you too can handle big changes, even if it's hard to get your bearings at first. You'll be flying before you know it! #entomology #bugsky #monarch #lepidoptera #affirmation #massnature

Check in with this monarch (and yourself) again and take this as a reminder that it's okay to hang back for a bit. You're doing your best and that's enough! You can't spread your wings if you don't take your time and pupate first ;) #bugsky #entomology #lepidoptera #monarch #selfcare #massnature

Sorry for the non-bug post, but I looked at the account of someone who just followed me and saw that they post things like this. If you think this stuff is okay, don't interact with me. I don't care how much you like bugs, you're not welcome on my page.

Found a new lifer today: Eremnophilia aureonotata, the gold-marked thread-waisted wasp! Sorry the video is rough, I had to record it with someone else's phone. But I don't think any camera would do her justice, those metallic markings were amazing! #bugsky #hymenoptera #entomology #nature

Panorpa insolens, a scorpionfly, defends her delicious mystery lump from a patient flesh fly (Sarcophagidae). Wing-flagging in Panorpa is used for both intraspecific and interspecific communication, and in some species studied, these displays are often used to guard food from other scavengers

I don't know who needs to hear this but an animal isn't useless just because you dislike it! Every species plays a vital role in their native ecosystem no matter how much you might find them scary or annoying. :)

happy pride, have some underwing moths (+ with folded wings, for my stealth, closeted, and questioning siblings <3) modeled after Ophelia Underwing (Catocala ophelia) and Drasteria howlandii #art #pride #bugsky #moths #lgbt

A colored illustration that depicts 8 total moths, 4 of one species and 4 of another. Both species are gray, brown, black, and white with intricately patterned outer wings. 6 of the moths have spread wings to reveal underwings that are colored to match various pride flags. The pride flags are: rainbow flag, lesbian flag, bisexual flag, transgender flag, asexual flag, and pansexual flag. The final two moths have folded wings, with the underwing completely obscured. Text reads "HAPPY PRIDE" with happy being rainbow flag colors and pride being transgender flag colors
