Pygmy grasshoppers are adorable. See pollen grains for size reference 🥹
Stubby little armored and camouflaged grasshopper perched on a small piece of gravel, with a couple dozen pollen grains lightly dusted on her. Each pollen grain is about the size of her false pupils

For your consideration: Frogloaf
Lump of grey/brown pinewood tree frog, in loaf posture, perched on a coil of wire fence; it looks like the frog was frozen on a flat surface and then removed and balanced on the wire

Holy fuck a swan just tried to eat my camera.
The open beak of a swan, mostly. Possibly an epiglottis somewhere. In the far right, the swan’s partner looks on disapproving. An afternoon sun low in the sky. Arakawa Shizen Park.

Chromodoris elisabethina for #Nudivember! I painted this a hot minute ago but I say it still counts :) Also, I think your television might be broken.

The wasp mantisfly, Climaciella brunnea, is not a wasp, a mantis, or a fly. It is instead a type of spider-eating lacewing that keeps itself safe by looking like it has a painful sting, which is does not.

Evolution continues to be marvelous. 🧪 #Entomology

A wee jumping spider in Brazil's Parque Nacional das Emas, the country's least-visited national park. Overall the ecosystem is a tropical savanna called cerrado. I saw this very pretty little spider in a small patch of humid forest.
A macro photo of a jumping spider atop a green leaf. The spider is looking just barely left and downward. It is overall brown but with bright yellow-orange flat hairs covering its legs and face, and metallic green and a hint of pink out of focus on the rear part of its cephalothorax and abdomen.

Ireland is the home of possibly the most docile invertebrate fauna in the world. Very little here is poisonous or venomous to the extent that humans need to worry.

Steatoda nobilis (Noble False Widow Spider), however, was first recorded in Ireland in the 1990s.

Of all my photos, this is easily my favourite I've ever taken. This amphipod is legitimately about 1mm in size. So small your eyes can't make out any details on it. They refuse to sit still. They run away from the light. It just looks like a grain of sand.

Genuinely a 1 in a million shot.

Some of what I do as an entomology curator is Chrysis management.
Microscope photograph in side view of a brilliant metallic blue wasp in the genus Chrysis with black wings, dead and pinned through the thorax. The photo shows tremendous detail of the fine hairs and pits on the insect's body. Wide angle photograph of a glass-topped museum drawer filled with little white trays full of small insects. The trays are labeled "Chrysis spp." and other various species names in the genus Chrysis.
