Craneflies procreating. Sorry for disturbing! I’m not even attempting to ID them because craneflies are... difficult. Sugadaira Wetland, Ueda, Nagano #Invertebrate #Insect

Geometer moth (Ophthalmitis irrorataria). Eventually you find a match after wading through the moth guide and looking diligently at wing patterns…. Sugadaira Wetland, Ueda, Nagano #Invertebrate #Insect

Lomographa bimaculata. Markings on the edge of wings and wavy line are the identifier. Mimakihara Plateau, Nagano #Invertebrate #Insect
フタホシシロエダシャク。長野県御牧原台地 #虫
Flower chafer (Protaetia sp.) on daisy (Bellis perennis). It is difficult to tell the species of the beetle apart by back markings, and you’re supposed to look at the shape of the head…. Well, too early in the morning for that. Mimakihara Plateau, Nagano #Invertebrate #Insect
ヒナギクにハナムグリ。長野県御牧原台地 #虫
Few days ago, I posted a photo of Lyponia quadricollis from Mimakihara but it didn’t show the antennae. This photo shows the gorgeous branched antennae of the male beetle. Tokikubo, Komoro, Nagano #Invertebrate #Insect

Daisy fleabane (Erigeron annuus) with hoverfly and lepturine beetle. Pollination taking place. Tokikubo, Komoro, Nagano #Invertebrate

A sea cucumber's butt is usually free real estate for a wide range of different sea creatures.
But in the case of this sea cucumber (Rynkatorpa pawsoni) instead of being the host, it's the lodger, attaching itself to the skin of the whipnose anglerfish

Woodlice and lichen which is some species of Phaeophyscia. I’m not good at ID’ing Armadillidiidae. I think I got this spelling correct. Arm a dilly dee day, dilly dee day. Tokikubo, Komoro, Nagano #Lichen #FungiFriends #Invertebrate
ダンゴムシとムカデゴケ。長野県小諸市鴇久保 #地衣類

Colorful cat! This is the larva of scarce vapourer moth (Telochurus recens) on locust flower (Robinia pseudoacacia). I’m not sure whether it’s poisonous, but my instinct says DO NOT TOUCH. Tokikubo, Komoro, Nagano #Invertebrate #Insect
ハリエンジュにアカモンドクガの毛虫。長野県小諸市鴇久保 #虫
🌿
I think this is some kind of longhorn beetle or Pterolophia sp. It looks like something out of a Mad Max movie. Tokikubo, Komoro, Nagano #Invertebrate #Insect

🌿
Soldier beetle (Lycocerus suturellus). Its Japanese name is jokaibon which is derived from Jokaibo, the Buddhist name of Taira no Kiyomori, a politician in 12C Japan known for his power hunger, arrogance, and hard downfall. Mimakihara Plateau, Nagano #Invertebrate #Insect
ジョウカイボン。長野県御牧原台地 #虫
🌿
Lyponia quadricollis. I don’t see the characteristic antennae, but thorax shape and red elytra (hard wing) are the identifiers. Insects are dormant due to the low temperature in morning and it is great time to photograph them. Mimakihara Plateau, Nagano #Invertebrate #Insect

It’s getting buggy and flowery here as the summer approaches. Great season for naturalists. Here is a ladybug (Coccinella septempunctata) on hairy vetch (Vicia villosa). Red, green, and purple; everything perfect. Mimakihara Plateau, Nagano #Invertebrate #Insect
ナヨクサフジにテントウムシ。長野県御牧原台地 #虫
🌿
Libelloides ramburi. This is a strange insect that looks like a hybrid of moth, bee, and dragonfly. Actually, it is close to mayfly. It is characterized by the pronounced antennae with balls on the end. Mimakihara Plateau, Nagano #Invertebrate #Insect
キバネツノトンボ。長野県御牧原台地 #虫

The problem with crab gashapon toys is that it's difficult to decide which one(s) you'd want to get 🦀

A really enlightening video about the Leopard Sea Cucumber - their innards, how they soften their body wall, the pearlfish moneyshot at 13:00, and also how they taste if not properly detoxified (spoilers: they taste painful)

Otters - they're cute and FULL OF WORMS

I've written a blog post about the gnarly Dracunculus worms found in North American river otters, and what they can tell us about the notorious Guinea worm.

Hairy tare (Vicia hirsuta) and aphids. I think this is weed in a neglected garden, but I find it pleasant. It's full of aphids, or ladybug buffet (that means no insecticide used here). Shinshu International Music Village, Ueda, Nagano #Invertebrate #Insect

Some species of geometer moth (Ennominae?). Looks rather beaten up, but the black mottling on white is “shibui” which is Japanese term for “smoldering cool.” Shinshu International Music Village, Ueda, Nagano #Invertebrate #Insect

This paper is all about parasitic flukes fighting it out in the gut of a deep sea fish by giving each other Extreme Hickeys with their ventral sucker.

My daily 5 minute drawings this week were of cuttlefish because I was inspired after watching them in the aquarium for way too long a couple weeks ago (while ignoring all the fish).

Sumo match between Flavoparmelia caperata and Parmelia squarrosa. Usually, Flavoparmelia is stronger, but the result may not be straight forward at high altitudes. Ant is the referee. Insect Museum of Shinshu, Aoki-mura, Nagano #Lichen

So, the invertebrate. Western conifer seed bug (Leptoglossus occidentalis) on the window of the Insect Museum. Backlighting makes it look villainous. These guys snuck into Japan from North America (approx 2008), and is a major pest of pine trees.

After a couple of attemps using a macro lens i managed to capture this wonderful Pink Crab Spider (Thomisus onustus) perfectly.
This species loves to take residence in flowers.

check it out two different colored Damselflies! Well Iberian Blue Tails to be exact
The blue one is male, while the redish one is a female. I almost got them both in the act

Spider killing fungus in the genus Gibellula should be quite common, but it has taken me several years to finally find one.
