Bug of the Day
This was obviously some kind of higher level discussion plus social distancing happening at the light the other night LOL.
[Clockwise, from top left: ground beetle (Carabidae family), Podabrus tricosta (also in close up below, because they look so fab!), Perlodid stonefly (prob. Isoperla sp.), and European snout beetle (Phyllobius oblongus).]
Bug of the Day
A European snout beetle (Phyllobius oblongus) I found hiding on the underside of a leaf.
