Flashback to 2010, when @ilarisaaksjarvi and I introduced this beauty to the world. https://t.co/nM7auTRwmQ https://t.co/cTP1GX0kkO

Common Quaker AND a Hebrew Character today. If the catch keeps doubling every night then there will be over a million moths in the trap on 15th April and it's just not big enough.

@gkalinkat @flygirlNHM Complete with snorkel - densely woven silk tube to enable the pupa to breathe.

#InsectOfTheDay no.364. As the month nears the end, December Moth (Poecilocampa populi) seems appropriate. Wearing a warm fur coat, these are my favourite winter light trap visitors (but I can't use my light trap at the moment!). Only one #InsectOfTheDay to go...

#InsectOfTheDay no.362. Trichadenotecnum majus, a barklouse that's very partial to Christmas trees. Also a variety of other trees, but that doesn't sound so festive.

#InsectOfTheDay no.361. Daktulosphaira vitifoliae, the tiny little bug known as Phylloxera. An insect that changed wine production. Native to North America, they wiped out most European vines in the late 1800s.

#InsectOfTheDay no.359. The wasp that might save Christmas. Or Christmas Island crabs, at least. Tachardiaephagus sommervilli, an encyrtid being released on Christmas Island to parasitise the scale insects that the yellow crazy ants feed on, and the ants blind the crabs.

#InsectOfTheDay no.358. As Rudolph speeds around the world, hopefully he's left behind Lipoptena cervi, the deer ked. A hippoboscid fly parasitic on deer; once they've settled on a host they shed their wings.

#InsectOfTheDay no.357. Santa's reindeer are itching to go. They might also be itching from Solenopotes tarandi, the reindeer louse.

#InsectOfTheDay no.356. A festive butterfly, the Christmas Emperor, Polyura andrewsi. The only endemic butterfly of Christmas Island.
