Can you share any interesting photo concerning insects you'd met in nature in your region, country or during your voyages?
Can you also comment it shortly with a place and date you'd spot it? Also its name. If you are not sure you may ask the other participants about the specy name, instead.
During one of my holidays in Dolomiti I've spot the above Panorpa sp. (Mecoptera: Panorpidae) at wild flower of lily in Cortina d"Ampezzo Valley.

Dear Barbara and all, nice thread.
I'd like to share my photo of this fantastic giant male (almost full 6 cm!) of Rhaesus serricollis (Cerambycidae: Prioninae), which is one of Europe's largest and most impressive beetles. I found it last August in old plane tree (a commonly used hostplant for this beetle), in Tembi Valley, C. Greece.

And this insect I'd met on 27th Dec., 2020. It was "reading" The book of air and shadows (Księga powietrza i cieni) by M.Gruber at my bookshelf.
I start by lampooning you guys with Lampronia rupella. The black and yellow colouring as well as the orange red head suggest an evolutionary push to make it look like something best avoided. But it's only started, or perhaps since it's such a different species with other habits, that the process never gotten further.
Mimicry on wasp Temnostoma vespiforme and the later part of the latin name also say so 'formed like a wasp'. It's supposed to be fairly common but I did only see it twice the last summer. Location for all 3 images around 63°30,86'N 14°33,69'E
I found this spider at a university premise which has two tiny spots like eyes. This area belongs to the wet climate region near the coastal zone.

Feeding burying beetles (Nicrophorus)
Before their first molt, adults take care of the larvae: they dissolve the tissues of the corpse with digestive enzymes, preparing a nutritious "broth" for them.

Mubashir Ali Rather. It must be very pretty Kashmir all snowy. Could you send us a landscape picture?
Dear colleagues, this is very restricted thread, and people have placed here not more than few dozens of pictures up to now. Moreover, it presents usually a single dozen of them at once. However, we may await even few thousand in the far future. Despite of that, due to the character of this thread (we do not restrict to diagrams here, and the visual image quality is of cardinal importance for us to make them worth of interest). That is why, I insist on presenting here your own works of dimensions not lesser than 100 KB (jpg or png; please avoid bmp and tiff), and not place here works from internet, especially of much poorer quality, please. (A link to them will be quite enough.) Of course, in your own interest please do not place here your raw images of dimensions greater than 1 MB (printable quality), also due to interests of our kind RG hosts (who need reserve gigabites for each such a thread, otherwise). Please note that I am not the owner of RG, but only a user as most the others. Therefore, the above is only a small request of very restricted significance, and everyone will do as they see fit.
Dear Barbara Motyka
My uploaded image is lesser than 100 KB but form is jpg. I usually used this image to show my undergraduate students. Can I upload this kind of work here? Wishes the best.
This tick was collected in the open grassland around Kathwana Town in Mutino sub-location in Mutino location in Igambang'obe Sub-County in Tharaka Nithi County in Kenya, East Africa. Kindly help identify to species level.
To Nahason: I´m not sure,maybe photo.pdf can two families:Pentastomidae for shape of legs,and Reduvidae for shape of torax.I repeat again I´m not sure;so I don´t know the species.
Mauricio Oscar Zamponi what you see in the picture is a tick, so it is not an insect like the two hemipteran families you mention before. It is an arachnid, from the subclass Acari, order Ixodida. This is a parasitic fourlegged arthropod, a common cattle and pets plague.
Best regards.
