zzz!

[hellsitegenetics]

...is this reaching you?

A little animal, on the floor of my chamber. I think I know what you are looking for.

You're stuck in a cycle, a repeating pattern. You want a way out.

Know that this does not make you special - every living thing shares that same frustration. From the microbes in the processing strata to me, who am, if you excuse me, godlike in comparison.

The good news first. In a way, I am what you are searching for. Me and my kind have as our purpose to solve that very oscillating claustrophobia in the chests of you and countless others. A strange charity - you the unknowing recipient, I the reluctant gift. The noble benefactors? Gone.

The bad news is that no definitive solution has been found. And every moment the equipment erodes to a new state of decay. I can't help you collectively, or individually. I can't even help myself.

For you though, there is another way. The old path. Go to the west past the Farm Arrays, and then down into the earth where the land fissures, as deep as you can reach, where the ancients built their temples and danced their silly rituals. The mark I gave you will let you through.

Not that it solves anyone's problem but yours.

Hi, sorry I need your help for something:

Okay so I found its little baby and 13 of his siblings in a planter of mine. I need to know if I should put them back or set them free somewhere (no matter their ID I'm not killing them, no worries.)

I'm in France. And I'm hesitating between European rose chafer larva and June beetle larva (hanneton in French). And given their wildly different effects on plants...

I'm going to set them aside for now.

It's very difficult to ID a species based on just photos of the grub. If you're worried about plant health, I'd remove them from the planter for sure as they generally eat plant roots. Assuming the planter was outside and that's where they came from, it's fine to release them into soil somewhere. But if it's an indoor non-native plant that came from an indoor nursery, there's a risk it was imported and these are non-native and releasing them is a bad idea.

Five-banded Thynnid Wasp (Myzinum quinquecinctum)

It is unfortunate that many people lump all wasps together as being bad for fear of being stung. The female Five-banded Thynnid Wasp has the ability to sting but uses her stinger to disable beetle larvae, specifically those in the Family Scarabaeidae, which includes pests like the Japanese beetle, European chafer and rose chafer. The female wasp looks for these beetles in their grub stage when she can paralyze them with her stinger and deposit her eggs on them. The wasp larvae hatch and attach themselves to the beetle larvae which they gradually consume before entering their cocoon. After spending the winter in the soil the adult wasp emerges the following year.

stopped to smell the lilacs and met a little guy! look at him, all cute. almost booped him with my nose because i didn't notice him at first.

he's a european rose chafer (Cetonia aurata). i think i'll call him Bernard.

The scale is pretty strange on this one. The pine chafer is massive. Anyway.

Female Pine Chafer (Polyphylla fullo) (photo source) but she made it MASSIVE, a cool creative decision I respect.

Vespillo Burying Beetle (Nicrophorus vespillo) (photo source). I'm not that confident on this one, but it certainly isn't a treehopper, and I can't find anything native to the region that looks closer.

Some kind of chafer beetle, subtribe Cetoniina. I have trouble with these, even in high res from a top-down view. If I had to guess, probably Copper Chafer (Protaetia cuprea) or European Rose Chafer (Cetonia aurata). Incidentally, I have kept both these species as pets :> (photo src)

@greencheekconure27primary​ submitted: Came to look at one bug, found three (the rose chafer was gently removed from the premises despite being very pretty. I'm sure they will find some other flowers to nibble on)

Ohhh these flowers are action packed with pals! I’m sure the rose chafer will indeed find another flower to nibble. RIP to the hover fly but glad the crab spider gets a meal!

The Lovely Villa Belvedere

Welcome / reception line, Villa Belvedere

Late on the afternoon of May 22, we arrived in Firenze (Florence) after a long drive through central Italy from Salerno. The Hotel Villa Belvedere, our accommodation for our visit, was so lovely that if we had been advised that every tourist site in the city had been unexpectedly closed for repairs and we…
