Periodic #cicadas in the genus Magicicada spend 13 or 17 years of their life as nymphs underground, depending on the species. During this time, they feed on the xylem fluids of their host plants. #WorldHemipteraDay #biodiversity #insects #SciComm
The last suborder of hemipterans is also one of my favorites: #Auchenorrhyncha! This group contains more than 42,000 species and some of the most bizarre appearances in the animal kingdom #WorldHemipteraDay #SciComm #Biodiversity #insects
Our last heteropteran is one of my least favorite bugs. It's a #bedbug :(. These blood sucking insects have undergone a resurgence in recent years and lead to millions of dollars each year in #PestControl measures. #WordHemipteraDay #insects #SciComm #biodiversity
Leaf footed #bugs in the family #Coreidae are can be found year round in southern portions of the US. These plant feeders may give off an unpleasant odor when handled. #WorldHemipteraDay #SciComm #Biodiversity #insects
Our next heteropteran family is #Belostomatidae. These aquatic bugs have a painful bite, but many are also doting parents. Male insects carry the eggs on their back until the hatch. #WorldHemipteraDay #Biodiversity #insects
1st up is the family #Pentatomidae, commonly known as stink bugs. This family includes species that feed on plants and some predatory species. Their shield shaped bodies are often a way to recognize members of this family. #WorldHemipteraDay #insects #biodiversity #entomology
Have you ever seen a #psyllid? Possibly not, since these tiny sternorrhynchans are easily overlooked. Although they are commonly called jumping plant lice, they are not lice at all! Lice belong to an entirely different order. #WorldHemipteraDay #biodiversity #entomology #Insects

Continuing our journey through #Hemiptera with Sternorrhyncha! These #insects are found worldwide and are probably best known as plant pests. This group includes aphids, psyllids, whiteflies, scales, and phylloxeroids. #WorldHemipteraDay #biodiversity #SciComm #pestcontrol
Up first today: Coleorrhyncha! This odd looking suborder is an ancient group (~250 million years old), but just one family exists today. These tiny #insects are found only in the southern hemisphere, where they are associated with mosses. #WorldHemipteraDay #biodiversity #SciComm

We are looking for artists to create a diverse set of character tokens for each playable races in the SRD (Human, Elf, Half-Elf, Dwarf, Gnome, Halfling, Half-Orc, Dragonborn, Tiefling). Our goal is to represent a diversity of ethnicities, skin colors, and gender presentations.

Lovely review of #EightKinkyNights!
"If the incredible diversity, body positivity, consent focused interactions & mental health exploration in this book aren’t enough to rush out & read it, there is also some intense D/s content to heat things up"
