Las tijeretas son insectos pertenecientes al orden Dermaptera que se caracterizan por ser principalmente nocturnos, pasando la mayor parte del día escondidos en lugares oscuros como hojarasca, grietas y hendiduras en las casas.
Si bien las tijeretas pueden tener una mala reputación, es importante reconocer su papel en el ecosistema y comprender que, aunque puedan entrar en nuestros hogares de vez en cuando, no representan una amenaza significativa para nuestra salud o seguridad.
Mientras me encontraba grabando un vídeo para mi canal de Youtube me encontré a este pequeño amiguito.
One of those captures that's crying out for a focus stack but it was pretty much impossible with this one, perhaps some of the four third cameras with built in focus stacking might be the answer although I can't imagine how they work out in the field.

THE NON FLYING FLY
Photographed in the Jardin Jeanne d'Arc in Quebec City, this fly rests in the midst of Halloween decorations that are installed every fall.
The Common Red Soldier Beetle is also known as the 'Bloodsucker' for its striking red appearance, but it is harmless. It is a beneficial garden insect as the adults eat aphids, and the larvae eat other pests. The Common Red Soldier Beetle is a medium-sized, narrow beetle commonly found on open-structured flowers, such as daises, Cow Parsley and Hogweed, during the summer. It can be spotted on grasslands, along hedgerows, and in woodland, parks and gardens. Adults feed on aphids, and also eat pollen and nectar. Larvae prey on ground-dwelling invertebrates, such as slugs and snails, and live at the base of long grasses. The adults spend much of their short, summer lives mating, and can often be seen in pairs.
Soldier beetles are so-named for their various combinations of black-and-red markings, which are reminiscent of a soldier's uniform.
It’s all a case of mistaken identity, scientists researching the homosexual tendencies of billions of insects have concluded.
Scientists are now claiming the long observed practice of insects and spiders of the same sex mating is actually accidental, despite up to 85 per cent of male insects engaging in homosexual acts.
Instead the bugs are in such a rush to reproduce - one of the strongest evolutionary drives - they do not take enough time to inspect their potential mate’s gender, often leading to same-sex mating.
The collaborative study, published by Doctor Inon Scharf of Tel Aviv University and Doctor Oliver Martin of ETH Zurich University in the journal of Behavioural Ecology and Sociobiology, found spiders and insects have not evolved to properly discriminate in their mating choices.
They reviewed past studies of 110 species of male insects and spiders and found there is almost no evolutionary advantage to insect homosexuality, unlike birds and some mammals.
