The funkiest little stabby jellybean: Parasa indetermina, a Stinging Rose Caterpillar Moth, with an impressive and beautiful arsenal of venomous barbs at their disposal.

So long... Endromid #Moth #Caterpillar (Oberthueria sp., Endromidae) At 5 inches (12cm) EXCLUDING the tail, its only defense against deadly parasitoids is that all-reaching swatting tail. flic.kr/p/247EZzy #insect #China #Yunnan #Lepidoptera #entomology #itchydogimages

Like miniature attack planes, these sleek Conopid fliesβ€”Physocephala tibialisβ€”patrol the prairie. Males like this one, predictably, seek out food and females. The females, however, are hunting hosts for their parasitic larvae; in the case of this species, they’re after bumblebees

This is NOT an #AsianHornet! It’s not even a #hornet! It’s a beautiful harmless #hoverfly. An important #pollinator. It doesn’t sting! It’s not a #wasp! no need to panic! Insects are a vital in the food chain. They are not pests! This beautiful creature is a Pal not a pest.
