I recently finished "An Affair with Africa" by Alzada Kistner and am now absolutely fascinated by the beetle species that hang out in ant colonies, only appearing above ground when their hosts go out on raiding forays or when the nest is relocating. Any recs for a book or article about them? Ideally with photographs. #ants #beetles #myrmecophiles #coleoptera #staphylinidae #entomology #africa
Hello there ! 
Aujourd'hui le Méloé printanier ! Un insecte de la famille des coléoptères, dont les larves se développent en parasitant les colonies d' hyménoptères... Ici il s'agit d'une femelle, avec l'abdomen plus gros que celui du mâle ! Connaissez-vous cet insecte ?

Un parell de coleòpters de l'espècie Stenopterus rufus. Coleòpters de la família Cerambycidae, coneguts com a escarbats de banyes llargues o cerambícids.
Cicindela sylvicola Dejean, 1822
Specimen was captured in July 1996 in the Ardennes region, France.
I've used the focus-stack technique, DIY hardware only (a Raspberry HQ cam controlled by a Raspberry Pi 3, an old Pentax-m 50mm f1.7 lens, some extension tubes, and a $30 linear rail from Aliexpress)

Much warmer last night, with lots of really tiny #beetles in among the scarabs (still mostly Phyllotocus macleayi).
The second frame includes a garden #katydid, Caedicia simplex, with more colourful legs than most. (#Tettigoniidae)
Frames 3 and 4 both include a darkling #beetle of the genus Tanychilus (#Tenebrionidae, #Alleculinae)
Some of the #moths from last night:
Frame 1: Nacoleia rhoeoalis (Crambidae, flying), Helicoverpa sp. (probably punctigera, Noctuidae).
Frame 3: Scopula rubraria (Geometridae), Heteromicta pachytera, Homoeosoma vagella & Morosaphycita oculiferella (Pyralidae)
Frame 4: Gastrinodes bitaeniaria, Capusa senilis, Cleora injectaria & Dysbatus sp. (Geometridae), Destolmia lineata (Notodontidae), Etiella behrii (Crambidae), and a nice #weevil
Exomala orientalis – oriental beetle. From warmer days and flower plots.
