Well, the inevitable happened: spotted lanternfly has been found and recorded in Canada (Oakville Ontario – inaturalist.ca/observations/1…). CFIA and other local organizations are assuredly on it to hopefully find a way of reducing its spread, but vital for folks to watch out for more!!

Two Volucella zonaria hoverflies at Common Wasp V. vulgaris nest over our front door. One prospecting, one seems to be ovipositing in nest entrance. Their larvae live in the nests of social wasps (thanks ⁦@_alanbradbury⁩ for that knowledge). Wasps not a problem so far.

What if you couldn't find your soul mate because they were described in a different species?! In this article, I reviewed a remarkable group of parasitoid flies that show striking sexual dimorphism in body color. Check the short thread! #tachinidae #diptera #scicomm #Entomology

A new statement/comment from the ICZN is available on @ResearchGate: researchgate.net/publication/37… It is about DNA-based descriptions and will hopefully initiate wide discussions that help us wording the next edition of the Code.

Twitter to the rescue again! Mystery solved; the La iii is signifying it’s a juvenile in its 3rd larval stadium. The “iii” with the line appears to be a medical/pharmaceutical shorthand for the number 3 that is fading from use. Thanks everyone in the replies!
