Figured I'd make a Twitter account for entomology networking, so follow if you like pretty pictures of little critters ig

Estoy muy feliz, acabo de describí una nueva especie de strepsiptero para México!!
Se trata de Halictoxenos fortunatus, una especie que parasita a Lasioglossum exiguum, una especie de abeja endémica de México! 🐝

Found a bunch of these Ceraphronids (?) alongside fungus gnats in my apartment, is this a new observation? Looking in Google scholar and UIUCs library I couldn't find anything
Anyone know what these little wasps could be? Found these in a bee hotel where everything died from mold and they don't seem developed enough to ID with a key
Huge amount of hairy-fingered mites (Chaetodactylus) on this poor bee, finding a lot of these in people's garden bee hotels that haven't been cleaned in years
This could be going on in your bee hotel, every bee from this one is covered with thousands and thousands of these mites
Winter ants were out mating today, saw this mating trio and a Phidippus who managed to grab one as a snack – at Champaign, IL

Me mandaron este video de Euglossas macho visitando flores de Stanhopea. La particular forma de estas flores permite que las abejas colecten aceites y a su vez carguen con el polinio para llevarlo a otra flor. También parece que las abejas utilizan la flor como resbaladilla. ☺️🐝

Another extreme honey bee mutation found at the lab. This time a rare cyclops drone!🐝
