Agrias aedon question
by Annarobertson1947 » Tue May 07, 2024 7:49 am
Is there a combination of reasons for Agrias aedon to be scarce in collections as it occurs over a large range and supposedly along with other Agrias species.

Despite their shortened wing covers they're flying wings unfold quite nicely from beneath them thus they are very capable flyers. It's springtime and you may have gotten in a couple while a door or window was open for a time or they could have come in under the threshold of an outer door to your home where there is oftentimes a gap.
You might try looking up the term common Rove beetles of Britain on the internet and it may show you some of the most commonly encountered ones. Perhaps this one will look like one of the pictures. Any reference book specifically on the insects of Britain will likely also show a page or so of some examples as well.

"real" of course, but it's not what you think.CaribLife wrote: ↑Sun May 05, 2024 10:13 pm You guys are just brutal. The pictures were taking when they were biting us as you can see they are sitting on our skin and you can actually see their legs are going inside our skin. Take a close look before you judge people. If you don't know that's ok we haven't had anyone able to identify them but they are certainly real.
Those are not legs. They are more likely clothing fibers of some sort.
The top left image does not appear to be an animal.
The top right image appears to be skin and a fiber.
If any of the others are animals, they've been rolled, squished, or whatever.
Some of the remainder do show a "thread" piercing the skin, though it appears that the thread is not part of your skin, nor of the purported parasite, but an independent fiber that has penetrated skin and/or the whatever-it-is.
To me, the "parasites" look like skin that has been rolled/squished. You may be being bitten, but I don't think it's those things you showed, I think it's the fiber that appears in most of the photos. Keeping in mind that not all bites are felt immediately- chiggers in particular; by the time you feel something the actual event has long passed.

If you are being bitten by something I suspect that it bites and then leaves your skin immediately.

April 29th was 6 days ago, it's not beyond reasoning that I might have concluded the post was not urgent. Not long ago
there was a post about Ninja clothes moths made in some bizarre attempt at subterfuge, I shouldn't have made my second post,
there was nothing to be gained by making it, however, I am still not seeing the animals, something I have already mentioned.
I don't know, if that works, an opinion was requested, and there you go.

Either get rid of the bedding or run it in the washer on hot for an extended cycle.... Do not allow any pets whatsoever to share your bed. No cats no dogs no rabbits etc.
I would suggest even better to get rid of the mattress altogether and buy yourself a new one with new bedding.
Problems like this are preventative....
Change bedding every 7 to 10 days at regular intervals. Shower once every day and generally keep pets out of the bedroom your sleeping in as they oftentimes harbor mites, ticks, and fleas which either find their way into the carpeting or into the very bedding that you find yourself sleeping in.

I am not sure at all it will fix the "Resource limit reached" issue, we will see.
It's anyway a good thing to update it for security reasons.

I also have a specimen of the Cannova Bronze Scarlet cultivar (below). The Cannova series blooms quite profusely.

I wouldn't write it off quite so easily. Delusory parasitosis is real and there are many case examples of it similar to this one. Those who suffer from it are convinced some small organism is causing their symptoms and submit samples for identification and case histories similar to this. In reality, it is all psychosomatic but patients have a hard time believing otherwise, hence the term delusory.kevinkk wrote: ↑Fri May 03, 2024 2:56 pm It's pretty clear now. Apparently this post is another fake one, presumably, in consideration, by an android intelligence. Having given you
the benefit of the doubt originally, I will be weighing the possibilities when answering future dubious entries.
It's not funny. You are not actually fooling anyone. Your dipstick robot has no experience in the field of entomology and, yes, even I can spot
a fake, while foolishly giving you the benefit of the doubt.

PS. I wouldn't click 'allow notifications' anyway, but I don't recommend anyone do in case it's not genuinely from Insectnet.
