3 new scientific insect identification posters! Swipe for close-ups🔎🪲🧬
Motivation has been low these past few years, so I decided to finally put my pictures to use instead of letting them gather dust on an external hard drive. I've put A LOT of time and effort into creating these posters!
I also have both Danish and global versions of the weevil poster, and a Danish version of the moth poster🇩🇰🌍
You can buy them at my Etsy Store (link in bio) if you want to support my work… and help fuel my cycling tour across the Alps this summer!🚴 I've just created a limited 20% discount 📉
You can also DM me to get it printed from a specific print provider that you like. I will then adjust the price accordingly. Only possible starting in August❗
(1)
Depicts 25 species representing 25 common genera in Europe. Information about their abundance is illustrated with green, yellow and red triangles. The number of species currently present in Europe for each genera can be seen under the genera names. Information about their size, time of presence and main host plants can be found in the bottom of the poster.
(2)
Depicts a dorsal and a portrait view of 24 species of moths found in Europe. Information about their abundance is illustrated with green, yellow and red triangles. The flight period of each species is illustrated with a density curve made from presence-only data derived from The Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF). I only used the data from 2022-2023, a total of 4.3 million observations, as most moths are advancing their onset of flight in relation to time due to increasing temperature! Information about their size (forewing length), main larval host plants and habitats can be found at the bottom of the poster.
(3)
Depicts 16 species representing 16 common families of beetles around the world. The characteristic morphological features of each family can be found in the bottom of the poster.

Sleeping Cuckoo Wasp (Hedychrum sp.) 📍
•••
Found on the beach on a calm summer evening back in 2022.

Man, I miss wandering for hours looking for insects. But perfectionism took over, and suddenly nothing was ever good enough. Extreme perfectionism is its own kind of hell. It kills joy, turns every effort into failure, and convinces you that nothing you do will ever be enough. One day I'll figure out how to control it🙏

Lixus pulverulentus📍
•••
Not native to Denmark. Found inside a refrigerator with vegetables. I've always wanted to find a Lixus species, so I was very happy that this guy decided to travel all the way to Denmark to meet me😊

Forget-me-not Bug (Sehirus luctuosus)🧬
•••
This shield bug wouldn't let go of this fly pupae. It protected it at all costs. Even if I took the pupae away from it, the shield bug would look for it and grab onto it again. Really weird behaviour from a herbivore🤔

Portrait of a Dioctria sp. eating a tiny wasp🧬
•••
One thing I love about macrophotography is that each time I view my photos, I can vividly recall the exact location and how I captured the subject! I guess it's because of the strong emotions we get when we finally find that beautiful insect after a long day out in the sun☀️
