A lovely example of cross museum collaborations playing detective - @NHM_London @NHM_Diptera and @NatSciNMS

#FlyFriday: Taxonomists have to do a great deal of detective work, as demonstrated by this new publication from Dr Andrew Ross, @flygirlNHM & team!

Thrilled to announce that Team Diptera is collaborating with an awesome Phoenix tattoo shop, Coven Tattoo, to offer a ton of entomology flash designs during ESA!
What's "flash"? Pre-made designs available to anyone who signs up!

Very excited to see this published!! We did a global literature review of long-distance hover fly migration and found nearly 50 species that exhibit this fascinating behavior. There’s a lot of cool work out there, and also much left unknown! Check it out! #diptera @Ecol_Ent

As #FlySchool24 finishes, the participants have turned their Dipterological skills to #art
Call me impressed. @GeooRoojas painted the empids, @carusophora painted the Dipteran Explosion, whilst the wings is a group composition! What talent
@dipteracourse @dipterists
Incredibly talented artists at Fly School! I was tempted to take pieces home with me, but they were left at the Soltis Center for staff and visitors to enjoy.

A tailless whip scorpion demonstrating that although it may look like it could inflict pain, it is in fact very docile and obviously, rather beautiful - the opposite of the other subject in the image😎👊😉
#FlySchool24 #Forest #Invertebrates
This was an incredible find!
Prepare to have your mind BLOWN
This fly (Fannia sp) was found in the meat baited Shannon trap covered in Dermatobia hominis - The HUMAN BOTFLY
Botflies usually lay eggs on flies that feed on humans (as the eggs drop when feeding) and these are larvae!

The noise of these species fills our days and nights, & there’s no complaint from me
So much effort into finding a mate to finish their short adult lives - Cicadas are the opera singers of these forests. A freshly emerged adult here - of which there are 45 #CostaRica spp
