Het is weer zo ver. De kastanjemineerder heeft weer toegeslagen en van onder tot boven worden de bladeren van de kastanjes van binnenuit opgevroten

 

The horse chestnut leaf-miner (Cameraria ohridella) is a member of the lepidopteran family Gracillariidae and was recorded for the first time from Macedonia in 1985 attacking horse chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum) near Lake Ohrid. This moth was described as a new species of the genus Cameraria by Deschka and Dimic (1986). Totally unexpected, C. ohridella appeared in Austria in 1989 in the region of Linz. From then on, it rapidly spread east and west so that, by 2000, it had colonised major parts of Central and Eastern Europe.

 

In 1984 werden in Macedonië aan het meer van Ohrid voor het eerst bladmijnen bij paardenkastanje opgemerkt en werd het motje Cameraria ohridella beschreven. Dit was opmerkelijk omdat bij paardenkastanje geen insectenaantastingen bekend waren. In de daarop volgende zes jaar heeft het insect geheel Macedonië en Servië gekoloniseerd. In 1989 kwamen meldingen over het voorkomen uit Kroatië en Oostenrijk. Daarna volgden Hongarije en Slovenië. In Tsjechië werd de soort in 1993 in het zuiden gevonden. De eerste berichten van het voorkomen in Duitsland dateren uit 1997 en vondsten in Polen volgden in 1998.

 

De mineerder is veel eerder dan verwacht in Nederland gearriveerd. In 1999 werd vastgesteld dat op veel plaatsen in Gelderland, Limburg en Noord-Brabant kastanjebladeren met bladmijnen te vinden waren. Ook in Utrecht, Zeeland, en Overijssel werd de soort aangetroffen Insecten Top Tien 1999; Insecten Top Tien 2000. De meeste aantastingen zijn in straatbeplantingen opgetreden maar er was ook een aantasting in een laan van Landgoed Amelisweerd. Bij Dorst en Amerongen zijn aantastingen waargenomen in boslanen. Dit betekent dat het insect de wat hogere 'stadse' temperaturen niet nodig heeft. In 2003 is de mot zelfs al op Terschelling gesignaleerd.

 

Opvallend zijn de grote plaatselijke verschillen in dichtheden. Het komt voor dat op enkele honderden meters afstand van zwaar aangetaste kastanjebomen exemplaren staan waarop geen enkele mijn te vinden is. Dat zou kunnen suggereren dat de vlinders slechte vliegers zijn, maar gezien de snelle verspreiding binnen Europa lijkt dit onwaarschijnlijk. Overigens is door verschillende onderzoekers vastgesteld dat de vlinders gemakkelijk meeliften met vrachtwagens, waardoor een snelle uitbreiding op passieve wijze kan plaatsvinden.

 

De invasie van Cameraria ohridella in Nederland is dus terug te voeren tot de populatie in Macedonië, maar de soort is ook daar niet inheems. Het is nog steeds de vraag waar deze dan wel oorspronkelijk vandaan komt. De mineerder is strikt gebonden aan Aesculus, waarvan 16 soorten bekend zijn die alle van nature voorkomen in één van de tertaire relictgebieden zoals de Kaukasus, de Himalaya en Noord-Amerika, maar in deze gebieden is de mineerder nooit beschreven.

There seems to be insects everywhere these days, especially in the places you least expect them.

Also known as the Pellucid Hoverfly, this is one the largest of the true flies (Diptera) found in Britain.

The broad whitish-yellow band across the mid-section of the insect is quite distinctive.

My photograph is of a female, identified by the gap between the eyes. She will lay her eggs in the nests of certain wasps and the larvae will feed on the hosts' young, dead wasps and other nest detritus. Once mature they will leave the nest to pupate in the soil nearby.

Adults emerge from mid-May onwards and are commonly seen until the end of the summer.

J'ai vu plusieurs Cicindèles hier qui se promenaient ou se posaient sur le sable du seniter au soleil... Au soleil son coprs brille comme un bijou... Un joyau, un émeraude!!

 

La Cicindèle champêtre est un beau coléoptère vert, parfois bleuâtre, plus rarement noirâtre. C'est un insecte chasseur redoutable d'une grande rapidité et d'un appétit féroce. Elle attrape ses proies à la course et effectue des vols courts en cas de danger. Sa larve, également carnivore, vit dans un terrier vertical où elle attend qu'une proie passe à sa portée.

Wasp like insect ... minus wings

Six of these hatched out. One died, but this is unsurprising as it had got caught under the tissue paper that was beneath the eggs in the other container, and so had been deformed.

The other five are doing okay. They are very strange in that they seem to stagger around rather than walk, and often fall onto their backs or get stuck to condensation on the side of the tub. One is also missing a couple of legs. Other than those issues, they seem to be doing alright and are fed on eucalyptus which is changed regularly. As you can see, I have the eucalyptus sprig on its side as they don't seem to be very good at climbing and I didn't want to risk them not being able to find the leaves while wandering around.

 

UPDATE: Unfortunately my cat decided to knock these off the cabinet and onto the floor. As I said, this is a particularly fragile species and so, unsurprisingly, three of them were crushed to death in the fall. This species is proving difficult to rear, and if I do not succeed with this batch, I don't think I will try with achrioptera fallax again.

 

UPDATE 2: None survived. One more hatched out this morning. I am going to try keeping it in a mess-topped container in case it needs more ventilation.

Two walking-stick insects mating in a garden in McDonald's Corners, Ontario Canada. The small brown one is the male and the much larger green one is the female.

Dylan and his Grandpa made this insect mask at a camp arts and crafts class.

Dyme mamillata hatching. I wish I had a better camera so I could capture more detail. I really like the pattern on the egg :)

"Angus's genius is the embrace of what is wholly natural, if unexpected. Yes, the insects are real, and no, she has not altered them except to position their wings and legs. The species in this gallery are not endangered, but in fact are quite abundant, primarily in Malaysia, Thailand, and Papua New Guinea, a corner of the world where Nature seems to play with greater freedom. The pink wash is derived from cochineal insect living on cacti in Mexico, where it has long been prized as the best source of the color red. By altering the context in which we encounter such species, Angus startles us into recognition of what has always been a part of our world."

Spent some time searching for the Katydid in the Four O'Clocks and finally found her lounging on an Ash sapling leaf. 8/4/2021

Thought this was an impressive piece of macro sculpture. Made from insects by an insect or spider

a rather handsome Red and Black Hopper in the seasonal pond of the old quarry in Hastings Country Park. It was hopping around a second specimen (pictured below) in some form of courtship behaviour

Not sure which one - Blue, I think, which would be Ideopsis vulgaris

May be a nymph of Flat-head Leafhopper Stenocotis depressa. It was under bark on a dead eucalypt.

I was photographing a dragonfly (the orange blur in the background) when this guy landed. I looked it up in my insect books and found that they lay an egg on a true bug. The larvae then feeds inside the bug, eventually killing it, then pupates inside the hollowed-out body. The adult emerges in the Spring.

Didn't like most of the 600 pictures I took yesterday so I went out again today.
