🚨 ARTHROPOD OF THE DAY 🚨
The pink wing stick insect (Sipyloidea sipylus) is a medium-sized, nocturnal, herbivorous invertebrate originally native to Madagascar.
Pink wing stick insects grow 3-4” long, and are almost entirely female in captivity due to parthenogenic reproduction. Like all stick insects, they are designed for optimum camouflage, and this species resembles a twig as adults. The body is light brown and slender, with long, thin limbs and antennae. They are best known for their wings, which are usually pink in color, although they are sometimes white. These wings are fully functional. -

🚨 ARTHROPOD OF THE DAY 🚨
Coral banded shrimp (Stenopus hispidus), commonly known as “Cleaner shrimp”, “Boxer shrimp”, “Barber pole shrimp”, and “Clown shrimp”, is one of the most popular decapods in the marine aquarium trade due to its bright coloration and hardiness.
Coral banded shrimp occur in the Indo-Pacific region, Red Sea and Western Atlantic Ocean, where stocks are heavily collected to satisfy the marine ornamental trade demand.
This species inhabits rocky or coralline areas from a depth of a few centimeters to at least 30 meters.
They are known for their vibrant red and white stripes as well as their bands on their pincer claws. Coral banded shrimp are characterized by very long white antennae and antennules, by bright red bars banding its white body, and by enlarged, chelated, third pereiopods.
These shrimp usually range between 5 – 7 cm (2 – 3 inches). -

🚨 ARTHROPOD OF THE DAY 🚨
The Yellow Mayfly (Ameletopsis perscitus) is the sole species in its genus and the only representative of the exclusively Gondwanan family Ameletopsidae in Aotearoa, New Zealand. It was New Zealand's 2025 bug of the year.
As an adult and unable to eat, it leads a brief life — the female has only a few days, often less than a week, to mate and deposit her impressive clutch of up to 8,000 eggs back into the stream.
In its aquatic nymph stage, Ameletopsis perscitus is a formidable predator — a very rare trait among mayflies. With lightning speed, the nymph ambushes and devours unsuspecting aquatic insects, employing powerful jaws concealed beneath a comically oversized head.
This striking duality between the delicate, transient beauty of the adult and the predatory ferocity of the juvenile presents a fascinating paradox: a creature that is both a fleeting symbol of elegance and yet was a ruthless hunter. -

🚨 ARTHROPOD OF THE DAY 🚨
The Sydney funnel-web spider (Atrax robustus) is widely known as one of the deadliest spiders in the world. Sydney Funnel-webs are shiny, dark brown to black spiders with finger-like spinnerets (silk-spinning organs) at the end of their abdomen. It is native to eastern Australia.
Sydney Funnel-webs live in silk-lined burrows in sheltered sites under logs and rocks in areas where they can maintain a cool and humid climate. When hungry, the spider waits inside the burrow entance ready to rush out when potential prey, such as beetles, cockroaches, small lizards or millipedes. -

Doleschallia bisaltide, the autumn leaf, has orange forewings with black margins at the tips of the wings. The undersides of the wings are purplish brown with vein-like markings running down both the fore and hind wings. The lower wings have two large ocelluses crowned with orange and a black center.
Doleschallia bisaltide is spread in India, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia (Sumatra, Kalimantan, Sulawesi) and northeastern Australia.
P.S. I had issues with posting on the last thread so that's why no posts for a while. New thread now! -

🚨 ARTHROPOD OF THE DAY 🚨
Blue morphos are large, brilliant blue butterflies that live in the forests of South and Central America, and also in parts of North America.
The most striking aspect of the butterfly’s appearance is its iridescent blue wings. They seem shiny and metallic. However, they are not actually blue.
The blue is not caused by pigmentation; it is actually caused by the way light reflects off of microscopic scales on the backs of the butterfly’s wings. The structure of the scales is tetrahedral (pyramid-shaped), and they reflect light. The colours vary depending on the angle from which they are viewed.
The caterpillar is reddish-brown with bright spots of lime green on its back, and covered in stinging hairs for protection. These hairs can irritate human skin. The caterpillars spend their days feeding on a variety of plants. If disturbed, the caterpillar will secrete a fluid that smells like spoiled butter. -

🚨 ARTHROPOD OF THE DAY 🚨
The Mountain Leafhopper (Colladonus montanus) is a high-elevation insect commonly found in the western United States. Though not as notorious as some agricultural pests, it plays a significant role in transmitting curly top virus to various crops, including sugar beets and tomatoes.
This leafhopper is pale green to bluish with dark markings on wings and head and is approximately 4mm in length. True to its name, this species is most commonly found in mountainous or foothill regions. It prefers dry rangelands and weedy areas at mid to high elevations and is often observed on wild hosts like Russian thistle. -

🚨 ARTHROPOD OF THE DAY 🚨
The Giant Mantis Shrimp, also known as the Spearer Mantis Shrimp, inhabits the dark volcanic sands from the Andaman Sea to Papua New Guinea. It is known for building its burrows on sandy or muddy ocean floors.
They are among the largest mantis shrimp species and can grow at least 13 inches long. You can easily distinguish them with their reddish brown and cream-striped bodies.
Giant Mantis Shrimps can hunt anytime, not leaving their burrows. They are not selective eaters and consume various small invertebrates, fish, and crabs. Their powerful appendages, designed for spearing, enable them to strike with deadly accuracy. -

🚨 ARTHROPOD OF THE DAY 🚨
Hydrachnidia, also known as "water mites", are among the most abundant and diverse groups of benthic arthropods, composed of 6,000 described species from 57 families.
Water mites have a complex life cycle that includes a larval stage, parasitic on insects, and predatory nymphal and adult stages. All major groups of aquatic insects (with the exceptions of Ephemeroptera and Megaloptera) are hosts of larval water mites.
One square metre areas of substrate from littoral weed beds in eutrophic lakes may contain as many as 2000 deutonymphs and adults representing up to 75 species in 25 or more genera. -

🚨 ARTHROPOD OF THE DAY 🚨
Crystal black shrimp (Cardina cantonensis) are similar in anatomy and appearance to other dwarf shrimp. They reach up to 1.25 inches in length and have long, slender bodies and ten pairs of legs sprouting from their muscular abdomens. Like other dwarf shrimp, crystal black shrimp use five pairs of legs for walking and five for swimming. They also have three pairs of feeding appendages on their abdomens.
Also known as black bee shrimp, these shrimp exhibit stark black and white coloration. Their lifespan is 1-2 years, and they are natively from Taiwan. -

🚨 ARTHROPOD OF THE 🚨
A rice weevil is a tiny beetle that measures only about 1/16 of an inch. It’s reddish-brown in color and has a distinct “snout” on its head. With the ability to multiply quickly, the rice weevil can be found anywhere in the U.S. They can fly and are attracted to dim lights. You might notice them when cooking or eating in the kitchen area, as they hide inside the kernel and are hidden from view.
Even with proper food storage and inspection standards, something the USDA is responsible for, rice weevils can find their way into bags of rice. At some point during the manufacturing, transportation, or storage of grains, the female rice weevil will locate a grain and bore a small hole to lay her eggs. Once hatched, the larvae will feed inside the grain until they mature. Because grains go through so many phases of production, there are plenty of opportunities for weevils to invade. -

🚨 ARTHROPOD OF THE DAY 🚨
The alfalfa leafcutting bee, Megachile rotundata, is a very important pollinator of alfalfa for alfalfa seed production. This bee species was introduced to the United States from Eurasia in the late 1930s. Wherever the bee is managed efficiently and effectively, alfalfa seed yields increase dramatically compared to pollination with honey bees or no bee.
The alfalfa leafcutting bee is solitary and lives only several weeks in the summer. After mating with short-lived males, female bees construct their own nests, gather nectar and pollen for provisions in individual nest cells, and lay eggs on the provisions. At the end of the summer, females die without ever seeing their offspring that spend the winter as prepupae (large larvae) in leaf-lined cocoons. -

🚨 ARTHROPOD OF THE DAY 🚨
Arphia xanthoptera, the autumn yellow-winged grasshopper, is a species of band-winged grasshopper in the family Acrididae. It is a rather large, dark brown species averaging around 1.5 inches long. It ranges from southern New England and New York south to the Florida panhandle and west to western Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas. It can be found in open sunny woodland, grassy fields and woodland margins.
They are a rather drab gray or brown color and uninteresting when at rest, but when in flight, the bright orange or red hind wings are revealed as the male hopper makes a distinctive snapping, crackling, and buzzing sound. -

🚨 ARTHROPOD OF THE DAY 🚨
Adela ridingsella, Ridings' fairy moth, is a moth of the Adelidae family or fairy longhorn moths. This is a very distinctively patterned Adela that is difficult to confuse with other species. The forewing has a coppery brown ground color that is lighter on the apical half. At the anal angle there is a cluster of four or five relatively large black spots, each with an embossed silvery violet spot. A series of smaller spots occur along the apical margin. A silvery fascia is present at the middle of the wing.
Adela ridingsella is widespread in eastern North America. -
