Pesticide companies love to imply that their pyrethroid sprays can magically target mosquitoes, sparing other insects that might be totally innocent. I think we need to push back by producing lawn signs that show that when Death arrives in his white van, nothing with an exoskeleton is spared. If I could draw, I'd add fireflies, plus make the background a nice suburban yard. So just a mock-up right now. #mosquitoes #nature #fireflies #insects #monarchs #butterflies #pesticides

I think this is Pyropyga decipiens, a tiny firefly in one of the lineages in which adults have evolutionarily lost the ability to flash. The larvae are still bioluminescent. #insects #beetles #fireflies #lightningbugs #lampyridae #nature
