Tribute to my wonderful mantis, Daffodil.

Today I unfortunately had to say goodbye to my desk buddy Daffodil, she lived to be about 15 months old. Definitely the longest living mantis I've ever kept. She often seemed to be quite interested in watching what I was doing on my computer, which I always found quite charming. She was one of the most aggressive mantids I've ever seen towards food, yet ironically she had terrible aim!

I thought I'd include some pictures from a Daffodil photoshoot my good friend helped with that I don't think I ever shared.

I'll miss you, Daffodil.

Hornet Moth (Sesia apiformis)

Family: Clearwing Moth Family (Sesiidae)

IUCN Conservation Status: Unassessed

With transparent wings and stripes of yellow-and-black fuzz running down their bodies, Hornet Moths mimic stinging insects such as wasps and hornets in order to deter predatory birds, although they themselves have no stingers and are essentially defenceless if their mimicry fails (this form of mimicry, in which a harmless species mimics a dangerous species to ward off predators, is known as Batesian mimicry.) Native to western Asia and much of Europe but also present in North America as a rare invasive species, adults of this species are active for only a short period between late June and early July; after emerging from their pupas females typically settle on a suitable tree and secrete pheromones to attract mates, and following mating they lay their tiny brown eggs on the roots of poplar (Populus) and willow (Salix) trees. After hatching in the early autumn/fall the pudgy white caterpillars chew through the tough bark of the roots and bore into the tree until they reach the nutritious living tissues in its centre, which sustains them until they're large and mature enough to pupate and emerge from the wood as adults in the following summer.
