I think this is a band-winged dragonlet (Erythrodiplax umbrata), perched on the tip of one of our obedience plants in the front garden yesterday evening.

I've moved from Mastodon.Social to Sauropods.Win; in celebration here's a Muscleman Tree Ant (Podomyrma gratiosa), looking a little worse for the wear—she's missing a pair of legs!

Quite a bit of variety last night (more to come later), but star of the show, though quite common in the UK, was this amazing LIME HAWK-MOTH. First sighting for me in 2024 and just about on cue date-wise...

Cool in the garden, anyone can ID this? could it be Acidia cognata?

Can someone help me identify this that I saw crawling on a radiator in our home? The hind legs are noticeable longer than the front two pairs, sort of like a grasshopper (though it's obviously not one). You can get a sense of its size from the bit of AA battery at the top of the photo.

Je ne sais plus dans quel contexte c’était mais il y a quelques années, j’ai entendu (ou lu) la phrase « La vie des abeilles solitaires appartient aux chapitres les plus attachants de la biologie animale ». Je ne sais plus d’où ou de qui elle provient ni ce qu’elle signifie. Évidemment je pourrais la chercher sur internet (et peut-être découvrir que je l’ai imaginée) mais où serait l’intérêt ? 😁
Mais bref, voilà une abeille. Bien que quand on pense « abeille » on pense ruche et vie en société, la majeure partie du genre Apis est composée d’espèces d’abeilles solitaires, qui ne travaillent que pour elles 😌

I struggle with what to write sometimes. I mean, is "I saw a wasp on the fence yesterday" really sufficient?

Anyway. I saw a wasp on the fence yesterday.
