They're so cute, delightful little wasps

Day 26 of #DansFavs2022: Gorgeous Mopes!

Last year kicked off my obsession with wasps thanks to a sighting of uropelma formosum*, and this year I found 4 more species with very similar body plans, coloring, and behavior! "Mopes" is my description, refering to their behavior and general appearance - they prefer to roam (even the ones with functional wings) close to the ground, relatively slowly and methodically, booty feather in the air.

In order of appearance: Tetracnemus, Cerapterocerus, Acrias nileus, & Eupelmus.

*Oh, yeah, I found a few more uropelma formosum too! Last 2 pics.

It was a good year for tiny wasps, what can I say. 🖤💜

hi menelaiad do you know who broteas is are you able to explain who all the broteas' are i need so much help

broteas? oh THIS guy. yeah. what an elusive beast.

so. there is a broteas that is the son of tantalus (sibling to pelops and niobe) he is synonymous with the sculptor broteas. this is also the same broteas who doesn't honour artemis and throws himself on a fire. (an australian poet made a reception piece that says broteas was the son of athena and hephaestus and threw himself on a fire cause he was so ugly. but that is reception clearly inspired by the original)

there are TWO broteas' in Ovid (broteas'? broteai?) one is the tantalid and one is just another dude who dies fighting centaurs.

confused? yeah, you're supposed to be. lemme' explain as best i can and with how I understand all this:

PAUSANIAS tells us that this sculpture of cybele was made by broteas, son of tantalus. so that's pretty clear cut:

[3.22.4] and some thirty stades farther is Acriae, a city on the coast. Well worth seeing here are a temple and marble image of the Mother of the Gods. The people of Acriae say that this is the oldest sanctuary of this goddess in the Peloponnesus, although the Magnesians, who live to the north of Mount Sipylus, have on the rock Coddinus the most ancient of all the images of the Mother of the gods. The Magnesians say that it was made by Broteas the son of Tantalus.

(here is the carving just cause yknow its nice. good job broteas)

APOLLODORUS tells us of this broteas:

[E.2.2] Broteas, a hunter, did not honor Artemis, and said that even fire could not hurt him. So he went mad and threw himself into fire.

NOW. we know this is the son of tantalus guy (or at least we can HEAVILY imply it is) because he's literally talking about the line of tantalus. the paragraph before is about tantalus and the paragraph after is about pelops. so it'd be weird to throw an unrelated guy in there.

HOW did he dishonour artemis? as far as i'm aware we do not know. or at least there's nothing concrete. the accepted or widely shared story comes from the little information we have: being a hunter, broteas should have been devoted and good to artemis, however, he abandons her to carve cybele in the mountain and dedicates his life to her. some even say refusing to carve anything for artemis. despite their connection through the hunt. so, being dishonoured that way, artemis sends him mad.

OVID also tells us of this act from Broteas and becomes the events and the guys name are the same?? we assume it's the same dude.

May you be worthy of truncation, like that son of Astacus, Melanippus, a maimed corpse, your head eaten by your fellow men, or may you give your burning limbs to the kindling pyre, as they say Broteas did in his desire for death. ***** some believe this is the broteas who is the ugly son of athena and hephaestus. but i dont THINK it actually says??? i mean the 'desire for death' fits that narrative better BUT who knows broteas was driven mad so.

the other broteas in ovid is said to be a twin of ammon. so we can say this is a different guy because tantalus didn't have a son called ammon that we know of. so.

NOW. you're probably wondering about Tantalus II (first husband of clytemnestra killed by agamemnon. if that makes ANY sense to you i personally cannot abide that path but okay. a bunch of different sources put HIM either as the son of broteas, thystes or niobe. so. take your pick on that front?

DID THAT CLEAR ANYTHING UP FRIEND??? ;;;;;;;;

Gay Men’s Health Crisis (GMHC) will relocate to Midtown Manhattan by the end of July, according to a press release from the HIV/AIDS organization.

The new and upgraded office spaces will help GMHC better serve its more than 12,000 annual clients. The headquarters will occupy 110,000 square feet and six floors of the building at 307 West 38th Street, just a few blocks northeast of its current 33rd Street home (the GMHC David Geffen Center for HIV Prevention and Health Education, at 224 West 29th Street, will remain where it is).
