Carabidae, ie the ground beetles, is one of the most diverse insect groups and one of my favorites (I have too many favorites, I know) #insect #Entomology #sciart #DigitalArtist #digitalart #illustration #ArtistOnTwitter
This study aims to address the morphological challenges of the bombardier #beetle subgenus Neobrachinus by using molecular sequence data to infer the phylogeny of the species and to test proposed species groups.

For some reason, I’ve recently been thinking of this drawing by @americanbeetles , president-elect of @EntCollNet .
We commissioned it a few years ago to thank @JackiWhisenant for volunteering in the WIRC.
[Jacki was recurating our carabids at the time.]
ANYWAY, it is lovely.

Larvae of the ground beetle (Carabidae) genus Epomis feed exclusively on amphibians, reversing the general predator-prey roles. They lures, pretended to be easy preys, and counter-attacking with their hooked jaws when the supposed predators just try to feed on them. #Arthrogirls
I didn’t forget your #Carabid request @FrankAshwood! Here’s a Carabus auratus for you. It is on a treadmill because the literal translation of the German word for ‘ground beetle’ is ‘run beetle’ 🏃 #laufkäfer

Larvae of tiger beetles are ambush predators and live in cylindrical burrows. Their eyes are highly efficient and cover a radius of almost 360°. When a prey is in range, they catapult themselves out of their burrow. #carabidae #cicindela
Characters shaped by niche utilisation - such as body size - key to differentiating closely related sympatric species, confirms a description of 2 #NewSpecies of tiger #beetles from Taiwan.

Insects of the day. Stalking the caves of southern China are some beautiful freaks, such as these long-necked and eyeless carabids. (a - Xuedytes bellus; b - Giraffaphaenops clarkei; c - Dongodytes grandis). Photos - M Tian. More here: https://t.co/mevS6YYigs

Insects at the reserve included my first Purple Hairstreak (wasn't expecting at all!), Dor Beetles, Darters and a few carabids 🤓
