Descubren una nueva familia de insectos a partir de un fósil conservado en ámbar
Un estudio internacional, en el que participa la Estación Biológica de Doñana, ha descrito una especie de mosca extinta que forma parte de una familia completamente nueva, Christelenkidae. Describen por primera vez una especie representativa de una familia de insectos completamente nueva perteneciente al grupo Acalyptratae, el cual reúne a muchos de los polinizadores y carroñeros más importantes…

Green land ! 🍀 ( Micropezidae ) • The Micropezidae are a moderate-sized family of acalyptrate muscoid flies in the insect order Diptera, comprising about 500 species in about 50 genera and five subfamilies worldwide. They are most diverse in tropical and subtropical habitats, especially in the Neotropical Region. #pratheepvijay #pratheepvijayphotography #micropezidae #acalyptratemuscoidflies #diptera #insects #macro #nature #animalia #arthropoda #insecta #schizophora #acalyptratae #nerioidea #apple #shotoniphone #realme8pro #shotonrealme #shotonrealme8pro #instagood #wild #wildlife #wildlifephotography #perpetua #photography #wildlifephotographer #mobilephotography #picoftheday #photooftheday #nofilter @natgeo @natgeoindia @natgeowild @natgeotravel @natgeoyourshot @natgeotravellerindia @natgeoadventure @natgeointhefield @natgeofineart @natgeoasia @natgeochannel @natgeoexpeditions @natgeo.la @natgeonl @natgeolatam @natgeoencounter @natgeodocs @animalsdoingthings @animalplanet @animalplanetindia @animalaid_india @animalhopeandwellness @discovery @discoverychannelin @discoveryplusindia @discover @discoveryla @grikart_macro @macro_delight @apple @instagram @wholelottabugs @insectguru @naturein_focus @nature_org @wildkarnataka @wildtakes @wildlifeplanet @world_wildlife @incredibleindia @bbcearth @earth @sonybbcearth @natural_history_museum @earthalliance @earthroamer @incredibleindia @macro_brilliance @nature @nature_brilliance @lonelyplanet @ourplanet @lightroom @kumudamonline @bbcwildlifemagazine @asiangeographic @naturesbestphotomagazine @discoverindia.magazine @wildlifeindia @zealwildlifecentral @fwdlife_magazine @climbingmagazine @lonelyplanetmagazineindia @thecaravanmagazine @wildlifesos (at Thiruthuraipoondi, India) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcLNUx9BdNU/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#268 - Lauxaniid Fly
Spotted on a fig on my last day in Uranquinty. Being pink, orange, and rotund puts it straight into the Lauxaniidae, a large family of acalyptrate flies. According to Wiki :
They generally are small flies (length 5 mm or less) with large compound eyes that often are brightly coloured in life. Many species have variegated patterns on their wings, but in contrast they generally do not have variegated bodies.
Some 1800 species of Lauxaniidae have been described and they comprise some 126 genera. The family has a cosmopolitan distribution, most of the species occurring in tropical regions of Asia and the Americas; relatively few species occur in Afrotropical regions, and Lauxaniid species diversity declines strongly towards the more temperate regions; for example fewer than 200 European species have been described. Most species inhabit forests, where the adults usually are found sitting on leaves of the understory. They are far less common in open country, such as grassland habitats.
The larvae are mostly saprophagous, feeding in leaf litter, soil, bird nests, etc.

There are many fly species out there that haven’t been identified. I’m glad I found the name for this one at least ❤

Fruit fly (Drosophila bifurca)
Photo by Scott Pitnick
Fun fact: Fruit flies of the species D. bifurcata have the longest sperm cells of any organism on Earth at a whopping 6 cm (2.4 in) in length!!
