@frenchy-lu submitted: Hello! I'm not certain was this bug is, I saw it in Portugal not far from Lisbon. It was eating the flower petals.

Also included pics of snails from the same region; not sure why they congregate onto these trees that much, but it makes for a neat effect imo.

Ohhhh I love that beetle’s outfit! It’s a type of blister beetle, Mylabris quadripunctata, so don’t touch :) The snails are aestivating! That means they go into a period of dormancy, usually in congregations up on trees/shrubs/fences/etc. This generally coincides with periods of very hot and/or dry weather. They hide in their shell and slow their metabolism to conserve fluid and energy.

Mylabris quadripunctata, blister beetle, from Portugal.

Facts from the Blister Beetle wiki: Blister beetles are hypermetamorphic, going through several larval stages, the first of which is typically a mobile triungulin. The larvae are insectivorous, mainly attacking bees, though a few feed on grasshopper eggs. While sometimes considered parasitoids, in general, the meloid larva apparently consumes the immature host along with its provisions, and can often survive on the provisions alone; thus it is not an obligatory parasitoid, but rather a facultative parasitoid, or simply a kleptoparasite. The adults sometimes feed on flowers and leaves of plants of such diverse families as the Amaranthaceae, Asteraceae, Fabaceae, and Solanaceae. Cantharidin, a poisonous chemical that causes blistering of the skin, is secreted as a defensive agent. It is used medically to remove warts[1] and is collected for this purpose from species of the genera Mylabris and Lytta, especially Lytta vesicatoria, better known as "Spanish fly".Toxicity

Common proprietary Chinese medicines for cancer

Proprietary Chinese medicine plays an important auxiliary role in the treatment of cancer. Yangzheng Xiaoji Capsules is a common anti-cancer proprietary Chinese medicine:

Yangzheng Xiaoji Capsules is a kind of Chinese patent medicine, which has the effects of strengthening the spleen and kidney, resolving blood stasis and detoxification. Its main indications include the adjuvant treatment of primary liver cancer, especially when combined with intrahepatic artery interventional perfusion plus embolization chemotherapy, it can help to improve the efficacy of interventional chemotherapy, reduce the toxic effects on white blood cells, liver function, hemoglobin, and improve the quality of survival of patients. In addition, Yangzheng Xiaoji capsule can also improve the symptoms of epigastric and abdominal distension and pain, nausea and less food, fatigue and other symptoms.

Yangzheng Xiaoji ingredients include Astragalus, Radix Panax Ginseng, Rhizoma Atractylodis Macrocephalae, Poria, and Fructus Chicken Nei Jin, etc. All of these ingredients have the effects of benefiting qi and strengthening the spleen, eliminating accumulation, and regulating the spleen. Among them, Astragalus has the effects of tonifying qi and elevating yang, fixing the surface and stopping sweating, inducing diuresis and eliminating swelling, which can be used for treating symptoms such as deficiency of qi and fatigue, loose stools with little food, and sinking of qi in the middle of the body; ginseng has the effects of replenishing vital energy, tonifying the spleen and benefiting the lungs, generating body fluids, and tranquilizing the spirit and benefiting the mind, which is commonly used in the treatment of symptoms such as deficiency of qi and wanting to lose qi, weak pulse and wanting to stop the pulse, and insufficient qi of the spleen, etc. Jin Neijin has the effects of tonifying the stomach and eliminating food and eating, astringing essence, stopping spermatosis, and clearing lymphatic drainage to remove stones, which is commonly used in the treatment of dietary stagnation, It is often used to treat symptoms such as dietary stagnation and pediatric chancre.

did you hear the latest scoop ? we’ve got a new student joining us ! a little birdie told me that they’re called KIM SHIAH, but they kinda remind me of YOO JIMIN ( KARINA ) — don’t ‘cha think ? you’re probably thinkin’ they’re just another 22 year old in their FIRST year of some BACHELOR'S DEGREE IN COMMERCE, but wait ‘till you hear about their INSECT SWARMING ! nifty, huh ? they’re pretty CAPABLE on nullivi, but you should watch out for their ALOOFNESS just in case ! anyway — if you wanna check them out, i heard they’re staying at the YELLOW HALL. oops ! you didn’t hear that one from me !  ༊*·˚

—— WELCOME, STUDENT! PLEASE SEE OUR STUDENT HANDBOOK.

INSECT SWARMING  •  to possess the ability to disperse her body into a swarm of insects—particularly the beetle species, mylabris pustulata, a blister beetle typically found in regions of asia—and subsequently return back to her original form. the number of insects existing in her swarming form is equivalent to her body volume.

HIVE MIND  •  the swarm of beetles that she disperses into are not individual entities, but rather, share the same mind. each beetle can still work autonomously according to her command, but lack individuality and will work and exist solely to achieve her goal.

FLIGHT  •  the mylabris pustulata possesses striped red and black wings and are capable of flight.

WOUND INDUCEMENT  •  the mylabris pustulata produces a toxin known as cantharidin, a potent blistering agent that can cause irritation, redness, and blistering when coming in contact with skin. cantharidin can be poisonous when consumed in large amounts.

LIMITATIONS

she is only able to disperse into a swarm of specifically mylabris pustulata, a type of blister beetle. she cannot disperse into insects of any other genus or species.

her ability to disperse into a swarm of beetles is governed by her emotions. specifically, shiah can only disperse into a swarm of beetles when she feels extreme emotions or adrenaline, and likewise, cannot return to her human form until she mellows down. she cannot disperse into a swarm of beetles or return to her original form by will. as such, shiah will only remain in her swarming form for as long as she feels extreme emotions, which can be anywhere from a couple of minutes to 1-2 hours before she calms down.

shiah is sensitive to extreme cold and heat and can succumb to illness, such as colds, frostbite, heat exhaustion and heat strokes much easier than the everyday human when in her human form. furthermore, she is especially vulnerable to extreme temperatures in her swarming form. exposure to extreme cold when in her swarming form can incapacitate the swarm. exposure to extreme heat and fire in her swarming form can kill the swarm.

she cannot recuperate the loss of beetle life or insect mass while in her swarming form. shiah will need to return to her human form in order to regenerate her insect mass back to 100%.

loss of substantial insect mass can be dangerous, or even fatal. as a defense mechanism, loss of 20% of insect mass will automatically revert shiah back to her human form. additionally, she will suffer intense fatigue, a high fever, and amnesia, and will need a few days to recover. loss of 40% of insect mass is fatal.

she is only able to access her applications of hive mind, flight, and wound inducement when in swarming form. in her original form, shiah is no different from an everyday human.

only beetles that are generated from her own body are subject to her hive mind. she cannot recruit other insects or mylabris pustulata in the wild into her swarm.

when in her swarming form, shiah is unable to have complex thoughts. rather, she will act solely on her primal drive and emotions, unable to consider consequences of her actions.

her beetles will gradually lose focus and vitality the further they stray away from the swarm. beetles that stray more than 10 metres away from the eye of the swarm will immediately die.

blister beetles only produce cantharidin when required. production of cantharidin requires energy. furthermore when produced, cantharidin coats the beetles’ bodies and requires skin contact in order to induce its blistering effects. typically, only one beetle is required to produce a blister on the skin. as cantharidin requires skin contact, consumption of cantharidin can only happen if the beetles are swallowed. it is possible for cantharidin to induce major damage to internal organs when consumed in large doses. however, this large dose would also mean the consumption and death of a substantial amount of shiah’s insect mass, which would be fatal for her.

@darth-moth submitted: Hello, I try not to be affraid of spiders, insects, bugs, etc. so I want to know what species is he from

And I am also curious of what thier is exact names

All photos were taken in [removed] ([removed], remove this please). And thank you.

Hi there! I'm glad you're trying not to be afraid of bugs! I can't promise exact species IDs since I'm not super familiar with the bugs in your location but I'll do my best.

I assume the first two photos are the same spider; looks like a ground spider in the genus Scotophaeus, most likely a mouse spider, Scotophaeus blackwalli.

The moth looks like a pyralid moth, Synaphe moldavica. The next beetle is a scarab beetle, probably in the genus Anisoplia. The beetle after that is a weevil, Pseudocleonus cinereus.

Dunno offhand on the next little moth, but the beetle on the flower in photo 7 is a yellow-legged thick-legged flower beetle, Oedemera flavipes. Yes, that's the real common name. Not sure why they needed to put "legged" in there twice. The two moths following that are geometer moths, but they're not distinct enough for me to say offhand which species they are. And finally the last beetle looks like a blister beetle, Mylabris crocata.

Thanks for sharing!
