Well, this was a real treat this afternoon as I found this Periplacis menander #butterfly outside my kitchen window. A new species for @casabentbill.bsky.social (and for me). These have a wide range from Mexico to southern Brazil, but they aren't common.

We're at the very end of the dry season here in this part of Costa Rica and there are #butterflies everywhere at @tapirvalley.bsky.social
This is a Deep-Blue Eyed-Metalmark, a less-common and beautiful butterfly here.

#Bugsky 🐙🌿 Shared with me by a fof in SoCal - this is a gynandromorph (both male & female) valley carpenter bee (Xylocopa sonorina). Females are black, males orange, so the extreme color dimorphism really stands out. Per Doug Yanega at UC Riverside, bee gynandromorphs he’s seen are mosaic instead—

TGI #flyfriday!
This pufftail fly has what I'd call a wide stance.
I've never seen anything from this genus (Sphegina) in Georgia; this was in Trondheim, Norway this June.

Friday #Flyday! Here's a romantic pair of ambush bugs (Phymata sp.) on a dinner date. But check out the fly's abdomen. See it? The dark-light patches are opposite on the left vs. right sides. Cool mutation? Gynandromorph? Just a fancy fly? @flygirlnhm.bsky.social @bertonemyia.bsky.social

This Stone Centipede came to visit earlier today.
Found it wandering around in the conservatory.
Not sure why I thought about my friend @alan678.bsky.social 😉

Red milkweed beetle, Tetraopes tetrophthalmus on common milkweed. Milkweed is what's known as a keystone species, as it holds special ecological value to a wide variety of species. The monarch is the most famous of course, but the milkweed beetle also needs milkweed.

Damselfly on sheep sorrel, Rumex acetosella. Sheep sorrel is a common perennial non-native weed. Here it's surrounded by native species though, including Virginia strawberry, Fragaria virginiana and yellow wood sorrel, Oxalis stricta. I couldn't get an ID on the damselfly.
