I thought it would be amusing to have a thread where we show 1 example of each Order of insects from the following standard list (minus 10 Orders that we are unlikely to have examples of but which could be added later).
The rule I propose is you can only contribute one photo ie as I will start with a Collembola (Springtails) I cannot post again in this thread. Once an Order has ONE example you must start on the next Order as listed below.
This will produce 22 photos from 22 different contributors.
Best if you at least know the family the insect comes from if not the actual species. Location of photo would be nice.
Here is the list:
Collembola
Springtails
Ephemeroptera Mayflies Odonata Dragonflies Plecoptera Stoneflies Orthoptera Grasshoppers and CricketsPhasmida Stick-Insects Dermaptera Earwigs Dictyoptera Cockroaches and Mantids Isoptera Termites Psocoptera Bark and Book Lice Neuroptera Lacewings Coleoptera Beetles Hemiptera True Bugs Mecoptera Scorpionflies Siphonaptera Fleas Diptera True Flies Lepidoptera Butterflies and Moths Trichoptera Caddis Flies Hymenoptera Ants Bees and Wasps
RED = done
