#cameratrapping folk. Tell me the clever ways that you have secured setups deployed in publicly accessible sites? Our devices will be small but pricey and I don't want to rely on them being 'inconspicuous enough' that shifty fingers won't nick them and my #pollination data!
I love how the stigma of this #silverprincess inflorescence sits flush with the anthers! #Herkogamy be gone! #eucbeaut #eucalyptus #flower #eucalyptuscaesia #pollination #urbanecology #WesternAustralia
Holy #Homalictus! My girl here is loaded! #nativebee #ozpollinators #buzz #wildoz #bee #emerald #Hibbertia #pollen
Dear @EarthDay - I am on your side but this is one of the many reasons we want people to look at the insects...(this is NOT a bee) Yes, this is a very important pollinator but for some reason no one wants to admit how good FLIES are at doing this....
I don’t know how the hell I found myself talking to a random fellow stranger in the supermarket about primary and secondary #nectar robbing…but I am not at all surprised. Neither was my very bored 10-year old.
My brain deciding to turn on the superior scientific writing skills at 11pm after me staring at my computer screen and growling for hours during the day.
🐝Buzzed this 7-month-old photo passed the wonderful Dr Terry H today who ID'd a female #Ctenocolletes ordensis way outside of her wheatbelt range. The first record of this spp. in Perth! ... 7-months-later 😅The importance of uploading observations! #nativebee #wildoz #buzz
Anisynta sphenosema perhaps? Spent far too long today distracted by the visitors to many of the campus rosemary bushes! #ozpollinators #Lepidoptera #wings #pollinators #urbanecology #butterfly #wildoz
Anyone else the only entomologist in the post-grad office? 😂
Slowly but surely getting there with my snake appreciation. I would’ve fainted doing this prior to undertaking a degree in the natural sciences.
Rhytidoponera metallica joined us for pizza this afternoon at @EdithCowanUni 🐜 🍕 Green-head #ants are a favourite of mine! Exquisite to look at up close and frequent visitors to Jarrah flowers! #Hymenoptera #Formicidae #wildoz #insects #Metallica #entomology #urbanecology
Me blocking off traffic on west coast highway to “sksssssh sksssssh!” a quenda from the middle of the road back into the dunes 🤦🏼♀️ “Move it you pointy nosed turd!” Thank you to the champ in the ute on the other side of the road for making sure I didn’t get squished!
Yesterday at 2pm the first honeybee (Apis mellifera) in this species’ evolutionary history managed to pull a string for reward. They are much harder to train than bumblebees, though!
Don’t get bamboozled by a hoverfly #entomemeology #syrphidae
The swans know what’s what. Beautiful #tigersnake passing through at Lake Joondalup. The ducks were curious! Perhaps cautious about egg munching? Kiddo and I were amazed from a distance! #wildoz #wetlands #snake
One of the students in Peru created this. I thought it would be rude not to share it. It's a warning display by a pleasing fungus beetle (Gibbifer sp.)
Parasite wasp, Torymus calcaratus. This specimen comes from the collection of the @SMNStuttgart The challenge here was to photograph the insect through a pane of glass. #torymuscalcaratus #torymidae #entomology #insects #wasp #wasps #hymenoptera
Mischief NOT managed! 🎉 🐝 📸 Currently toying with potential setups for some very important #pollination work!

@waspwench Afraid there’s pretty much no way. I have used the metal cases with cable locks but people remove those if determined. Buy cheap cameras and avoid very public sites.

@waspwench @ConversationEDU @amymariegilpin @UOW @Sydney_Science @westernsydneyu Male bees do that to! I’m not sure if they’ll ever pierce my skin… non-aculeate wasps also try stabbing! I always wonder if they can back up that threat (some parasites can for sure). And if for the others they are just “pretending”.
Feel free to read the full article, with a little more info and nuance and more photos! And, if your also always getting asked this question, maybe give it a share :) Many thanks as well to @MmichaelLlucy for editing this article with us! 6/6
spent 10 hours dissecting today
@waspwench She was really trying 😂
@waspwench I would love to see them visit this species!!!
@waspwench Hahaha, totally such a crazy means to being pollinated! This one’s actually pollinated by an ichneumon! #Lissopimpla excelsa
In Saxifraga rotundifolia flowers display red, orange, and yellow dot guides. Visiting flies see a gradient from little to strong yellow colours. Note how the dot guides contribute to the subtle monosymmetry of the flower.
Tiny but mighty! Our Australian Tetragonula carbonaria might not sting but that doesn’t stop them from bullying the much larger honeybees from the sugar feeders. #stinglessbee #nativebee #phdlife #entomology
Spotted our Tetragonula collecting resin from this big gum tree!
Most south west orchids go dormant over summer but #Cryptostylis ovata is a species that can be found still in leaf as well as flowering over the summer period with these tall sequentially flowering inflorescences! On top of that they are also sexually deceptive! #Orchids
@waspwench Hmmm would be interested to hear how you go with these as I’m also thinking about setups for time lapse pollination pics over periods of many days to a few weeks 🐝🌺
@Matt_Greenwings The Crab Spiders in our garden feel exactly the same way...
I'd like to take this opportunity to formally reintroduce myself as Dr Jacinta Humphrey!! My PhD is officially conferred and I am #PhDone! Bring on graduation 🎓
