Cypherotylus californicus, Erotylidae. Sonoita Creek Nature Preserve, Patagonia, Santa Cruz county, Arizona.
On a blazing hot evening, thousands of insects came out attracted by the light over the near the BBQ. By holding the camera steady and adding a long exposure, the trails of the insect's flights were captured.
I think the 'texture' in the flight paths might be wing flaps, but I suspect someone will be able to add some commentary.
As the BBQ smoked, the insects went crazy, creating this mass of flight paths.
Due to leek moth, or onion leafminer. The little crusty bits are from the insect burrowing down the garlic stem and into the bulb. The cloves are mostly ok, at least!
As animals, we vary in our socialization patterns. Certain species of
insects tend to exist in close proximity to one another, and live in
coexistence.
As evidenced by this particular photo’s display of the wood lice and slug
going about their business without going out of their way to harm one
another.
Slugs, although they live in similar environments, have a more selfish
approach to survival (this is admittedly dependent on the species).
Woodlice however tend to work in collective unison in order to locate food
and habitable environments.
We as humans share all these traits, choosing which socialization
patterns to enact depending on what is most convenient and what is most
beneficial to our survival.
Because of recent rains, various crops of mushrooms have sprouted from our straw. A tiny winged insect perches atop this small, frail mushroom.

A team of Common Ground students - Taylor, Kathiana, Eric, Joaquin, Thomas, Lovell, and Eugenio -- work with staff Georgia Basso from the US Fish & Wildlife Service, Corrie Folsom-O'Keefe and Katie Blake from Audubon CT, and Common Ground teachers Karen Climis and Sharon Brostrom to study the impact of habitat restoration efforts on insect biodiversity. This research is part of the Urban Refuge Initiative.
Artist Regina Silveira's patterns of oversized insects swarm across the floors and walls of this room at the Goldie Paley Gallery in Brazil.
I never thought I would take a picture of a photograph, but here is one. I collected this bilateral gynandromorph Colias interior in northern Wisconsin in the 1990s. I no longer have the spcimen as I gave it to the Milwaukee Public Museum. The left side is purely male, but the left side is mostly female, with the exception of a patch of male coloration on the upper right section of the right hind wing.
