Trying (and failing) to capture a photo of my first ever C. rufilabris (Red-lipped Green Lacewing) while climbing over a fence. All outtakes. My iNaturalist 📸: Nikon COOLPIX P100

Unidentified chrysopidae larvae, I found this cool guy while studying on my campus and I'm working with my entomology professor to see what species it belongs to.

Green Lacewing

While the Green Lacewing was perched on a blooming cloud of Golden Alexanders, I wondered why it should ever want to leave.

Insect Highlights of 2023

With the new year celebrations scheduled for this weekend, I thought it best to share some of my favorite insect specimens from this year, rather than one single typed of insect. The pictures here haven't been uploaded to the blog in a post, so today they can all share the spotlight. There are many familiar faces here and all of them are incredible and beautiful creatures. Hopefully there are even more insect delights and finds to enjoy in the upcoming year. To ring in the new year, we have the following insects:

Monarch Butterfly - Danaus plexippus - Order Lepidoptera (August 7th)

Green “Goldeneye” Lacewing - Chrysopa oculata - Order Neuroptera (July 26th)

Carolina Locust - Dissosteria carolina - Order Orthoptera (August 20th)

Dog-Day Cicada - Phymata pennsylvanica - Order Hemiptera (August 24th)

Milkweed Beetle - Tetraopes tetrophthalmus - Order Coleoptera (July 9th)

Red-Legged Grasshopper - Melanopus femurrubrum - Order Orthoptera (September 13th)

Eastern Carpenter Bee - Xylocopa virginica - Order Hymenoptera (June 5th)

Five-Banded Thynnid Wasp - Myzinum quinquecinctum - Order Hymenoptera (August 7th)

Jagged Ambush Bug - Phymata pennsylvanica - Order Hemiptera (August 20th)

Transverse Hoverfly - Eristalis transversa - Order Diptera (August 8th)

All pictures here were taken in 2023 with a Google Pixel 4.

Wishing everyone a very Happy New Year and a great 2024! And thank you everyone for making this a wonderful year of insects!

Little guy landed on my leg and proceeded to bite me over and over. I let him do it until it hurt too bad because he was so cute :')

Pretty sure it's a green lacewing. North GA, USA!

It is a green lacewing! This one was apparently hungry for human flesh :)
