Think you have an invasive Asian Longhorn Borer? There are a couple of common look-alikes. Here's a guide to ID.

No. Words. For how adorable these baby woodcocks are!! They eat worms and insects, and melt hearts.

The recent "man screws hornet's nest" hoax reminded me that some Arthropods do actually have something to to with sex!  Some spider bites cause priapism.  No, really. This is SCIENCE.

This is pretty horrible.  Thousands of insects killed--and most of them pollinators, attracted to the lights of the billboard.  SHAME.

Just. No. Words. For how cool these 3-D scans of the internal changes as a caterpillar turns into a butterfly are

I don't honestly know what this is. But it has insects, and They Might Be Giants, so it's probably relevant to your interests.

In the universe of wrong stuff on the internet, this is pretty...well. Wrong.
I link to some better spider resources.

WTFingF. "Scientific discovery is not valuable unless it has commercial value," John McDougall, president of the NRC.  SO. WRONG.

Well, periodical cicadas are teenagers, I guess... But "ugly bugs with ugly souls?" HEY! :<

I invited a bee scientist to publish a bit of a rant about CCD (Colony Collapse Disorder) on my blog :)

Yep.  Honey bee deaths do not have a single cause. This is not news, really, but glad to see it getting more press.

Wow! Some very cool insect art.

The original location of this photo appears to be lost, but I do love it :)  And for the record, cicadas are vegetarians.

Is it safe to let your dogs eat cicadas? Yes, as long as they don't go overboard :)
