Traditionally rung in with the rampant purchasing of sale-priced items, the beginning of Holiday Season™ is now celebrated instead with Black Fly Day.

With all this attention to beetles around here lately, I figured I&#8217;d post a little reminder about which insect order still rules these parts.

		<description><![CDATA[I may be nearly useless with moth identification, but this is one I know by heart. Of course, this isn&#8217;t really brag worthy since there aren&#8217;t many moths with an iridescent blue thorax and yellow head, but I&#8217;m working on baby steps here. Just because I can identify it doesn&#8217;t mean I can place it in the <a href='https://www.biodiversityinfocus.com/blog/2012/07/24/virginia-ctenuca-ctenuca-virginica-nmw2012/' class='excerpt-more'>[...]</a>]]></description>

I&#8217;ll leave it up because the biology of the individual parasites is accurate and interesting, but see the bottom of  the post for an accurate description of what happened in the photo.

Because of this: Since a piranha-like fish with 1+ inch teeth isn&#8217;t scary enough on it&#8217;s own, this one has a frickin&#8217; isopod for a tongue! Big sharp teeth, murky water, and a tongue-replacing parasite: need I say more?

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s not often that flies make headlines, and when they do it&#8217;s usually in a negative connotation (malaria, mosquitoes, black flies, etc). A new paper published Tuesday in PLoS ONE (Core et al, 2011) is certainly not helping this Detrimental Diptera Dillema (DDD), announcing that a species of scuttle fly (Phoridae) has been discovered parasitizing <a href='https://www.biodiversityinfocus.com/blog/2012/01/04/the-good-the-bad-and-the-zombees/' class='excerpt-more'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today&#8217;s special guest blogger is Jess Vickruck, a PhD candidate at Brock University. Jess studies twig nesting bee diversity and the impacts of nest choice on their biology. When I first started my master’s project, my intention was to look at how nest choice affected fitness in twig nesting carpenter bees (genus Ceratina, family Apidae).  <a href='https://www.biodiversityinfocus.com/blog/2011/01/28/uninvited-but-very-cool-houseguests-guest-post/' class='excerpt-more'>[...]</a>]]></description>
