🇬🇧Common glow-worm, Lampyris noctiluca. When the larva moved, I discovered a kind of „adhesive foot“ on the back part of the abdomen. This can be extended as needed. This allows the larva to push itself forwards when moving. 🇩🇪Großer Leuchtkäfer, Lampyris noctiluca. Bei der Fortbewegung der Larve konnte ich eine Art „Haftfuß“ am hinteren Teil des Abdomens entdecken. Dieser kann je nach Bedarf ausgestülpt werden. So kann sich die Larve bei der Fortbewegung nach vorne abstoßen. #firefly #coleoptera #insects #glühwürmchen

🇬🇧Common glow-worm, Lampyris noctiluca. Here you can see the larva of this firefly. It can also glow on the abdomen. The female looks very similar to this larval form and has no wings. The males, on the other hand, are more similar to the typical beetle. Date found: Oct. 5, 2024 🇩🇪Großer Leuchtkäfer, Lampyris noctiluca. Hier seht ihr die Larve des Großen Leuchtkäfers. Auch sie kann am Hinterleib leuchten. Das Weibchen sieht dieser Larvenform sehr ähnlich und besitzt keine Flügel. Die Männchen hingegen ähneln dem typischen Käfer schon eher. Funddatum: 5. Okt. 2024 #firefly #coleoptera #insects #glühwürmchen

Museum collections are invaluable for many reasons. But if nobody knows they exist, their utility is diminished. This is why digitizing is essential. We would love to hear what biodiversity collections mean to you! Tell us by filling out this form: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F…

ヤエヤママドボタルのオスとメス ぜんぜん違う生き物に見えますが、上にいる小さいのがオス、下にいるイモムシみたいなのがメスです。 どちらも成虫です。いろいろすごい。
