I also cannot see any arthropods in the photos provided. They look like grains of sand or dirt, not living organisms.
If you are being bitten by something I suspect that it bites and then leaves your skin immediately.

Me too just now. It wasn't there last night.

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

Maybe he's away on a collecting trip or on holiday. I guess he wouldn't schedule sales when he's away.

Re: resource limit reached
The main issue we are worried about is that if it happens to a new user they may not want to use Insectnet any more.

I check Insectnet several times daily and strangely this evening Thai time the home page was unusually sluggish loading, first giving this error but loaded on refresh. When it did load correctly I tried to open the sections with new posts, but each gave me this error. When I have had this problem be...

Re: Thoughts on NABA?
One major problem with "butterfly watching", whether it be by NABA members or unaffiliated individuals, is that many species cannot reliably be identified from photos alone, some need at least examination of genitalia for accurate identification. Recently a colleague and I were asked to re...

Re: Using absolutes: always, never
You could state 'very rarely' to indicate less often than 'rarely', or if you have only seen a single specimen with these blue scales you could state 'blue scales were present on the forewing of a single individual among xxx specimens examined'.

Re: I can't find my #@%*& type specimens!
Presumably you put the drawer somewhere easy to access, and have just forgotten where you put it.
Hopefully you will find it soon.

I found this post strange, but I'm not sure it's AI ... wouldn't AI know that species names are spelt with a first small letter, and only genus names with a capital?

Re: Collecting in Vietnam
A US visitor once told me that 'according to the law' dead insects for personal use can be brought into the US in accompanied luggage. Possibly the owner needs to file a 3-177 after arrival home. Apparently the law for luggage is different to parcels, according to the visitor.

2022 new ssp of P. bianor
The October 2022 description of a new subspecies of Papilio bianor [sic] from Kerama Islands, Okinawa, Japan, has just come to my attention since it was published in Gekkan-Mushi, a hard to obtain journal mainly covering beetles. The citation is: Hitoshi Arita & Yasushi Sorimachi 2022. Descripti...

Re: Specimen locale - Madagascar
When I typed 'Mortmanga, Madagascar' into the Google Maps search box and clicked search it sent me to Moramanga.
The area ~20km+ west of Moramanga town is actually a well known butterfly locality.

This should be Moramanga, half way between Antananarivo and the East Coast.

PS. Tobacco and alcohol are both useful in entomology, but personally I do not imbibe either. At the same time, I believe everyone is free to choose what they want to do.
