I think it's the same beetle.

I'm sorry for interrupting such beautiful posts in order to show such a dreaded beast as the one in this post. This species belongs to the longhorned beetle, now to my knowledge these beetles are the cause for the decimation of the mulberry tree population in malta. Other species feed on fig trees a...

the prodigal son- hehe

see guys here's the thing..... there are a lot of mushrooms on our islands and i think nobody has given really a rat's bottom about kingdom fungi in malta. The book of wildlife of the maltese islands is very poor and it gives only the most pecuiliar looking or most common mushrooms. As jackpot said ...

aawwwwwwwwww maaaaaaaann that is just siiiiiiiiiicccckkk besides i like those emoticons of yours jackpot they're hardcore.

yep i agree with you Mr.jon. Insect population is dwindling except for flies and maggots.......nope those are not dwindling bloody hell!

Eumenes lunulatus.

Yep, of course you can.

Yep you're right admin it is the torrida after all.

Thanks a lot Haas. Yes the one on mepa database is not really clear.

What do you think about this one folks.

Hello people its been a while since i posted but alas my interest in insects is not waning but growing and getting stronger. But enough of this poetry! take a look at this beauty and post a comment. Now i remember jonagius posting a very interesting topic about these kind of moths. according to the ...

What is this species... It's definitely a harvestman hence family phalangidae.

So waddya think guys?

Synthymia fixia---Bahrija tas-Silla tal-Moghoz.

it's just so beautiful.......................

No it wasn't i found it elsewhere. I really don't want to specify where cause i think i would be endagering such a species on our islands. Yes i think this one lacked the speculum.

Beautiful profile for the plant btw.

Woow. Beautiful orchid, checking out its profile now. Thanks Mr.Weber.

Hi guys i sucketh when it comes to plants, but i just love orchids. Found this orchid and would like to know the species name and what insect does it imitate.

You're having sex with a flower you moron!!

By the way i found this bug on sicilian squill at dingli and i must say this plant is very popular with insects.

The plant he's on right now is Medicago polymorpha. I'm not sure if it's the plant he feeds on....

The following is the Capsodes lineolatus right:

Thanks..

Youch family: Lygaeidae such a big family on our islands.

Could it be the Asphodel bug....Capsodes lineolatus?

WOOW! How did you capture such a scene!!

Yay a coluber! I love those forked-tounge b**tards they keep the rat population low! They are beneficial creatures but can sometimes be a bit troublesome too.

Hellllllo guys!

Met with this heteropteran and couldn't figure out what it was....

Guys we're not controlling these plants we are aiding them to disperse. They are being planted as ornamentals in roundabouts etc!!!!
