Austin is covered in acorns right now, as it’s a mast year, and if you open one up you’re more likely than not to find a plump Curculio weevil grub having a meal.

If "Jurassic Park" inspired so many children to become paleontologists https://nhm.org/stories/jurassic-perks perhaps it's about time to have a good thriller movie on insects to inspire the rise of the next generation of entomologists.
(Without insects the world as we know it can't exist. See e.g., for wasps alone "Ecosystem services provided by aculeate wasps" by Brock et al. 2021 https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/brv.12719 )

Possibly a European wool carder bee, emerging from a flower. (Not sure what sort of flower it is - bees and things disappear inside for the best part of a minute before re-emerging! Must be fun in there.)

Another stinging caterpillar, a saddleback caterpillar (Acharia stimulea), showing off its fine green livery while waiting for a fairy knight (in spine-proof armor) to ride it into battle.

Content warning: They also had a little exhibit of native stingless bees! Bees are very cute when they can't sting~ 💖
So, this caterpillar decided to make a cocoon on the floor right next to my entrance door.
I'm not sure what it's logic is... And now I have to spend the next 10 days or so making sure I don't step on it.
Random q: would you eat a product that contained insect flour?
I think I'd give it a try as long as you couldn't taste the #insects.
I also do translation and proofreading, you see, and 1 recent article was about cricket flour.
Also, here are my kids' books in case you're interested! No insects eaten here but Inca-tastic Tales mentions how some Colombians in the empire was so poor they were allowed to pay taxes in the form of headlice.
Chen Zha has some of the best ant-themed prints you'll find anywhere.
There's even one featuring the myrmecophilous guests of the ants. #ants #art #antart #insects #invertebrates #drawing

I caught this fly in my window. I didn't recognize it, so I looked it up.
It's a window fly.
A small metallic sweat bee (Lasioglossum) peeks out from the petals of a dandelion.
This cicada is not often seen, but it usually appears at the park at that particular spot.

Recent studies point out declines in insect numbers of 70-80% over the past several decades in areas hogged by human activities and intensive agriculture.

The "vignetting" is actually just the shape of a small green leaf behind the subject, and I had to place the camera just right to make that work.
