This concept may or may not be used. I was requested to draw a comic of several tired Hymenopterans attending a virtual conference. Even if this idea gets scrapped, I still had lots of fun drawing this!

The Three of Galls represent synergy and the value of combining individual talents. Each person brings their own unique skills and insights to the table, contributing to the collective vision. At its core, this card challenges us to rise above ego for the greater good with humility and dedication. Through cooperation, we not only amplify our own impact but also leave a legacy of excellence that transcends singular achievements.

Fairyflies are among the smallest insects on Earth. Despite their diminutive size, these remarkable animals play a crucial and specialized role in their environments by parasitizing the eggs of other insects. Once she finds a suitable egg, she deposits her own within. The female fairyfly relies on the eggs of other insects as both a shelter and a food source for her offspring. By utilizing the resources provided by other species, she ensures the survival of her own progeny while simultaneously managing the population of potential pests. Regulating these host populations can have profound effects, as parasites are integral to shaping and balancing ecosystems. This relationship demonstrates the interconnectedness of all living beings and the importance of mutual support.

This card imparts the wisdom of recognizing and valuing the talents of those around you. It emphasizes the importance of collaboration with individuals who bring diverse viewpoints, experiences, and expertise to the table, enabling you to achieve far beyond what you could imagine. Whether you are embarking on a creative project, starting a business venture, or tackling a personal challenge, this card advises you to enlist the support of others and to leverage their expertise for mutual benefit. At its core, the Three of Galls is a card of achievement through teamwork. It suggests that by pooling your resources, talents, and efforts with those of others, you can create something of enduring value and significance.

Mymar pulchellum

Fairyflies are a family of wasps containing the smallest insects in the world. This one, Mymar pulchellum, isn't quite that small, but small enough to display the extraordinary wing structure fairyflies have!

These guys are so weird, I love them. I know I keep saying that, but maybe that's just how I pick my subjects :P

Invert fact #1: Fairy Flies!

Fairy Flies may be named flies, but are actually a genus of parasitoid wasps, known for encompassing both the smallest insect and smallest flying insect in the world.

The smallest flying insects, being from a genus named Kikiki, contains one single species; Kikiki huna. Some K. huna individuals have been recorded being only 150 μm! (0.15 mm). They are the smallest flying insects known (as of 2019).

Well, how about the smallest non-flying insects? Specifically, males in the genus D. echmepterygis. These boys only average 186 μm (0.186 mm), shorter than some amoebas and bacteria! They are also blind, lack wings and are tiny in comparison to females of the same species, which range closer to 550 μm (0.55 mm)

Citings for nerds (including image citations) and extra notes:

Huber J, Noyes J (2013) A new genus and species of fairyfly, Tinkerbella nana (Hymenoptera, Mymaridae), with comments on its sister genus Kikiki, and discussion on small size limits in arthropods. Journal of Hymenoptera Research 32: 17-44. https://doi.org/10.3897/jhr.32.4663.

Welcome to Invert facts! I am unsure how frequently I will post to this blog, but I do hope you enjoy its content. I may expand things in the future if the blog gets enough attention, but we will see how stuff goes!

CONTENDER 2: FAIRYFLY WASP!

Fairyfly wasps are tiny wasps of the family Mymaridae. These itsy bitsy creatures parasitize other insects' eggs and generally only live for a few days. Many of these insects are fewer than 1.0 mm long, and are distinguished by their fuzzy wings and club-shaped antennae.

Fairy wasps (Mymaridae) are a group of minuscule wasps. Indeed, the smallest of all insects. Ridiculously tiny even for an insect. The smallest species is literally microscopic, there are single called microorganisms bigger. Fairy wasps live by injecting their eggs into the eggs of other insects. Their larvae emerge and feast on the larger embryos. They have been utilized as a form of natural pest control

That would be terrifying to think of but honestly, can't deny that it's cool too o3o

#1893 - Sitona discoideus - Sitona Weevil

Photo by me, in Baldivis, Perth, near pasture. ID by Andras Szito who instantly recognised the three yellowish stripes behind the head. 

AKA Alfalfa Root Weevil. Tiny 3-5mm weevils with intriguingly kinked antennae, originally native to the Mediterranean region, but now pests in Lucerne, Medic and Subterranean Clover pasture in Europe, much of Africa, Australia, & New Zealand. Presumably they were accidentally introduced to those regions, but they’re capable flyers and can easily spread into new areas by themselves. 

A major problem in South Australia (but less so in New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania, Queensland and Western Australia) and particularly destructive to emerging seedlings in autumn. The legless soil-dwelling larvae can stunt plant development in spring.

The Braconid wasp Microctonus aethiopoides has proved highly effective at controlling the weevil in parts of Australia, as has one strain of the fungus  Beauveria bassiana collected in France, but the Mediterranean egg parasite, Anaphes diana (Mymaridae) didn’t work so well - probably because the summers in South Australia are Too Damn Hot. They might try again with ecotypes collected in Syria.

miniscule wasp, probably family mymaridae. tiny insects like this guy have fringed or feathery wings because air behaves differently on such a small scale

Mymar, Mymaridae. Commonly known as fairy flies or fairy wasps. I couldn't resist. One of the smallest wasps in the world. Males of Dicopomorpha echmepterygis are the smallest adult insects ever, being smaller than some amoebae.

Earlier this year, Doctors J. Huber and J. Noyes discovered a new species of fairyfly in Costa Rica, they named it Tinkerbella Nana (Like in Peter Pan), [Hymenoptera Mymaridae] this bug is 0.2mm long – that’s just 2.5 times the width of a human hair.

20/10 EXTREMELY GOOD BOY! Love the colors! The myr babies! The very snazzy claws and myr-like beaky face!! An ideal lad. He even has tiny grabby arms like Vorinclex does. I think he would give great hugs.

The Mymaridae, commonly known as fairyflies or fairy wasps, are a family of chalcid wasps found in temperate and tropical regions throughout the world.  The photos above are of the Mymar genus of fairyflies.

Fairyflies are very tiny insects. They generally range from 0.5 to 1.0 mm (0.020 to 0.039 in) long. This family includes include the world's smallest known insect, Dicopomorpha echmepterygis, with a body length of only 0.139 mm (smaller than certain species of Paramecium and amoeba, which are single-celled organisms)

The fossil record of fairyflies extends from at least the Albian age, about 100 million years ago, of the Early Cretaceous.

On the topic of feathers and plume moths, I started thinking about the highly modified wings of "fairyflies", parasitoid wasps of the family Mymaridae, which have paddles with long setae essentially. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of these awesome little guys, but perhaps someday I'll catch one. You might already know about them, but if not, I would suggest looking them up. They're just so cool. :D

Hymenoptera is my favourite invert order, so any insects from there I am so here for.  Australia has some of the greatest diversity of fairyflies! And a lot of them have some super interesting modified wings like you said. Some of my favourites would have to be: 

Caraphractus cinctus,  an aquatic species that uses it’s wings for locomotion through the water.

Anagrus atomus, one of the (at least) five fairyflies or fairywasps that display parthenogenesis (asexual reproduction in which female can reproduce without males). 

Richteria ara. These are native to Australia with these stunning modified wing 

Anagrus Haliday, with these pretty awesome colourful wings

and of course Tinkerbella nana, which are only about  250 micrometres longs!
