A new species of chalcid wasp with remarkable behavior is described. Find out more about it here: doi.org/10.3897/jhr.97… #parasitoids #wasps #Hymenoptera @UHManoa @uhhilo Honolulu Community College

Very excited to see this research published. David is an amazing naturalist who has done incredible work documenting the life history of these little-known parasitoid wasps. Be sure to check out the videos!

Very excited to see a bee I didn’t recognise. Steven Falk Richard Lewington can it be identified from the images? I think it’s either Coelioxys inermis or mandibularis - leaning toward m due to white face hairs? Any help appreciated

A reminder that International Society of Hymenopterists will our own symposium at #ICE2024 with 8 (mostly) student talks. For some reason it doesn't appear in the official program, but it is on Monday 26 August (18:30-20:30), Venue: 510 You don't have to be a member to attend! hymenopterists.org/ish-symposium-…

JOB OPPORTUNITY: We are advertising an 18-month research assistant position to investigate the drivers of insect biodiversity change, working on the fabulous GLITRS Project (glitrs.ceh.ac.uk). DM to discuss further details, or apply here: ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/se…

One of the most fascinating collective behaviors is chain formation in army ants. The worker ants cling together via hooks on their feet to bridge large gaps. Their sisters can then walk across to reach the other side. Here is Eciton burchellii inside an experimental setup.

Are you going to #ICE2024? See you there - our team will be at stand no 25 with our publishers from Pensoft! jhr.pensoft.net/news/698

#Entomologist Ranjith AP stopped by the Pensoft stand at #ICE2024 today - he's an editor in Check List Journal author in ZooKeys and @hymenopterajour, check out his excellent work here shorturl.at/PtQU6

The garden Ivy is coming into flower and lots of insects are appreciating the fact. Can you spot the Ivy Bee (Colletes hederae)? #Biodiversity #Pollination

#Japanese #wasp farmer Takahashi, from Gifu province, showed us how he lures, marks and tracks Vespula shidae wasps back to their nests. How? Why?

Identification of European Telenomus species that attack stink bugs is now easier, thanks to this new study - which provides new prospects for a detailed study of their biology and hopefully improved pest management: doi.org/10.3897/jhr.97… #biocontrol #DNAbarcoding #taxonomy
