Gisteren op één dag drie wespenkoninginnen gevangen die zo te zien een nest wilden maken in ons tuinhuis. Een Duitse wesp (Vespula germanica) en twee gewone wespen (Vespula vulgaris).
Nu ben ik dat soort beesten doorgaans redelijk toegenegen, maar dit feestje ging toch lekker niet door. En de deur van dat kot hou ik voortaan dicht. 😊 #wespen #insecten #insects #insectodon

Another question on #beetles (behaviour+ecology) looking for an expert. We get bumblebee scarabs here in north Greece, the delightfully fuzzy Pygopleurus vulpes. During the day they come to our lawn flowers: I’m wondering what they’re likely to be doing during the night. Night flying seems unlikely, especially given the temperature, but do they return to fixed nest sites? Burrow? Just crash wherever they find themselves? Solitary or gathered in groups? #insectodon #insects

Any experts on #beetles (behaviour+ecology) here to answer a couple of questions? We get oil beetles (Meloe) here in north Greece but last year I saw none at all over the period I would expect them to mate and lay eggs. I’m wondering if one bad breeding year is likely to wipe them out locally, or if there will be adults overwintering from previous years who can pick things up. #insectodon #insects
