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.

Not African plains
But Florida has zebras
Floating swallowtails

***This beautiful specimen expired on my porch. I decided to memorialize them with some art.

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 #diptera in the garden, anyone can ID this? #insect could it be Acidia cognata?

Can someone help me identify this #insect 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.

More moths later but after a mild night the first Poplar Hawk Moth of 2024 has appeared. I adore these gentle giants with their cute fuzzy faces.

Face of Poplar Hawk Moth. Round, grey and felt-like with two eyes either side of a nose-like palp. A little Muppet-like. Two orange antennae extend left and right. Its wings are also extended but out of focus as thr the focus is the head. Its legs are gripping my finger.
