Wasps My Beloveds @ichneumoniid - Tumblr Blog

Hi :>

I mainly post bug photos here- all photos are mine unless otherwise stated

I tag spiders as #spiders and things that look like them as #spiderlike

All bugs support trans rights <3

This stubby little assassin bug hunts millipedes. You would think such an insect would be found, like, somewhere near millipede habitat, but this one was flitting along a stretch of sidewalk.

Who up firing they fly

#I pinned. all of these #entomology screaming

I cannot emphasize enough how unexpected this creature was. A mucousy blob nearly the size of my foot revealed itself to be a seahare when moved back into the water

Scoliid wasp appreciation post!!

These beautiful wasps are parasitoids of scarab larvae, including the Japanese beetle, which is a common invasive species where I live

*Hands you a snake*

Found this little fellow, probably a young hatchling, in a window well and he was chill enough to let me photograph him for about 20 minutes after retrieval
