Kingdom:Animalia
Clade:Euarthropoda
Class:Insecta
Order:Lepidoptera
Family:Pterophoridae
Genus:Emmelina
Species:E. monodactyla
Binomial name
Emmelina monodactyla
Wingspan 18-27 mm.
One of the commonest of the 'Plume' moths all over Ireland, and one of the few to be found in the early part of the year, as the adults occur in all months.
Like most of the Pterophoridae, the wings are cleft or divided, but this can be difficult to see, as the moth often rests with the wings rolled up tightly. The wing colour is usually pale brownish, but can be darker. Each pair of spurs on the hind legs has one spur longer than the other. The abdomen has a pale buff dorsal longitudinal band with brown streaks along the midline.
It occurs in any suitable habitat where the larval foodplants, bindweeds (Convolvulus and Calystegia spp.), occur. Larvae have also been reported occasionally on Morning glory (Ipomoea), Chenopodium spp. and Atriplex spp. They feed in two overlapping generations on leaves and flowers from late May to September.
The larvae are greenish yellow with a broad green dorsal band, which has a fine discontinuous yellow line along its centre. The dorsal pinacula can be black, or coloured the same as the adjacent integument. Some specimens have ruby red dorsal markings.
The pupa varies from green to reddish, sometimes with black markings.

Genus:Sympetrum
Species:S. striolatum
Common and widespread. Adults can be seen from mid June to the end of October. The records indicate this is the commonest and most widespread Sympetrum species in Ireland. It does however vary considerably in abundance from year to year. Favoured breeding sites include shallow pools and small lakes. It is a rapid coloniser of newly-created ponds. On the east coast there is evidence of immigration as it is frequently seen on coastal sites that have no suitable breeding areas.
This species is similar to the Ruddy Darter S. sanguineum however in the the Ruddy Darter the males are a deeper red, the abdomen is waisted and the legs are all black. It could also be confused with rarer migrant red Darters such as the Red-veined Darter S. fonscolombii or the Yellow-winged Darter S. flaveolum. However in the former the wing veins are red and in the latter there are extensive yellow patches at the base of the wings.

Les Thaumatomyia sont de toutes petites mouches d’environ 2 mm, à dominante jaune et noire. On en recense huit espèces en France, et 42 dans le monde. En automne, des millions d’individus peuvent parfois envahir les murs des habitations.
La durée de vie moyenne d’un adulte est d’environ 45 jours. La femelle pond de petits œufs ovales jaune pâle. La larve qui en sort au bout de 4 à 5 jours est d’abord jaune translucide avant de devenir verdâtre. Durant son développement, qui dure en moyenne 16 jours, elle consomme une grande quantité (plus d’une centaine) de pucerons des racines (Pemphigus bursarius), ce qui a conduit à envisager de l’attirer vers les cultures maraîchères. Elle s’immobilise ensuite pour se transformer en pupe (c’est à cet état qu’elle hiverne), d’où émergera l’adulte 11 à 14 jours plus tard si les conditions sont favorables (ce délai peut atteindre une quarantaine de jours dans le cas contraire). L’adulte se nourrit essentiellement de pollen et de nectar. Des expérimentations ont montré que le pollen avait une incidence significative sur la reproduction et la fécondité des Thaumatomyia.
Leurs principaux prédateurs sont les petits oiseaux, les petits reptiles, les amphibiens et les araignées.
Thaumatomyia are very small flies of about 2 mm, predominantly yellow and black. There are eight species in France, and 42 in the world. In autumn, millions of individuals can sometimes invade the walls of homes.
The average lifespan of an adult is about 45 days. The female lays small, pale yellow oval eggs. The larva that emerges after 4 to 5 days is first translucent yellow before becoming greenish. During its development, which lasts an average of 16 days, it consumes a large quantity (more than a hundred) of root aphids (Pemphigus bursarius), which has led to the idea of attracting it to vegetable crops. It then stops to turn into a pupa (it is in this state that it winters), from which the adult will emerge 11 to 14 days later if the conditions are favorable (this period can reach about forty days in the opposite case). The adult feeds mainly on pollen and nectar. Experiments have shown that pollen has a significant impact on the reproduction and fertility of Thaumatomyia.
Their main predators are small birds, small reptiles, amphibians and spiders.

Ce petit longicorne que je n'avais jamais vu ne m'a laissé que quelques secondes pour le prendre sur un coteau sec calcicole dans le Lot. L'adulte est floricole et pond au pied des seselis des montagnes. Les larves se developperont dans les racines de cette plante bien présente sur ce coteau.
This small longhorn beetle I had never seen left me a few seconds to take it on a dry hillside calcicole in the Lot. The adult is floricultural, but only lays at the foot of the mountain seselis. Larvae shall develop in the roots of this plant very present at the place of shooting.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
La Pyrale du buis (Cydalima perspectalis) est une espèce d'insectes lépidoptères de la famille des Crambidae, originaire d'Asie (Chine, Japon, Corée, Inde et Extrême-Orient russe.)
C'est un papillon nocturne, attiré par la lumière, qu'on peut voir tournoyer autour de lampadaires, mais qu'on ne voit voler de jour que s'il a été effarouché.
Il s'agit d'une espèce envahissante dont la chenille est une gourmande des feuilles de buis qu'elle tond et ronge.
Les feuilles sèchent, brunissent, la plante jaunit et dépérit, puis le buis meurt.

Whilst most stick insects are highly camouflaged to avoid detection from predators, this species (Calvisia sp.) opts for the opposite approach, using bright colors to warn of a possibly distasteful nature. Sarawak, Malaysia (Borneo).

It was about 1.2 cm and found in wild pod, Singapore.
Initially I thought this was an ant, but on closer look, we spotted the beak near his mouth piece. The only thing I find very strange, is the eyes of this bug. It did not glitter. It seems to be blind. It even had spikes around his body to mimic the ant. Everything seems perfect except the beak or proboscis.
check it here about the "ant Mimic Bug"
www.geocities.com/brisbane_bugs/Lygaeidae.htm
Some times it makes me wonder why so many insects want to mimic ant, or was it that the ants accidentally father other insects or cross breed with other insects. There are also many spiders that mimic different types of ants.
