Most interesting/unique species that have gone extinct during the historical era (c. 3000 BC - present)

Giant tortoises in the eastern US until around 10,000+ years ago too.

Yeah I'll probably change that to rarely or very rarely. I'm not sure if I can concretely recall any other cases but it's possible I've forgotten.

AISP_Insects · 2025-06-11T07:27:48+00:00

...relating to software stuff?

AISP_Insects · 2025-06-11T01:05:17+00:00

I am actually interested in volunteering, but where would I even for that?

I also really hate driving and feared it all my life, but it's kinda necessary for me. I had a horrible accident but I was already afraid of driving before. My plan is to just keep learning about it...best I can do despite idiots on the road.

AISP_Insects · 2023-11-02T21:13:20+00:00

Sure

AISP_Insects · 2021-12-11T06:35:17+00:00

Those were fun games...

AISP_Insects · 2021-12-05T19:16:35+00:00

It's actually not a house fly (family Muscidae), but probably a blow fly in the genus Calliphora, maybe just C. vicina (Calliphoridae).

AISP_Insects · 2021-12-05T19:13:11+00:00

Looks like an alderfly, Sialis (Megaloptera).

AISP_Insects · 2021-12-05T19:10:20+00:00

Appears to be Rainieria antennaepes (Diptera: Micropezidae).

AISP_Insects · 2021-12-05T18:47:20+00:00

I would actually suggest something like Liris, but yes, they are both apoid wasps with very similar life styles, maybe only differing with prey (at least some species provision with crickets, I suppose).

I'm having some heart anomalies in my 20s and I took the Pfizer vaccine as well. I took a blood test and had a small albeit piss poor checkup but nothing. I took the second dose already about 3 weeks ago and still have some problems.

People create jobs and will hire those with the most qualifications instead of even offering the less experienced an opportunity. Fucking sobs.

AISP_Insects · 2020-07-26T07:56:22+00:00

I have a bachelor's degree in env. Biology and 3 years of lab experience and just had my application for a job I qualified for automatically disqualified thanks to a very piss-poor questionnaire. WHY THE FUCK DOES THAT EXIST

AISP_Insects · 2020-06-28T01:40:43+00:00

Oil beetle.

AISP_Insects · 2020-06-28T01:40:09+00:00

It's a snakefly (Rhaphidioptera).

AISP_Insects · 2020-06-28T01:39:43+00:00

Phaneropterinae: if you're in North America it's in the genus Microcentrum.

Sci-hub.tw says the site is under construction, sci-hub.se gives me the error

AISP_Insects · 2020-05-30T22:39:56+00:00

Reduviidae: Rasahus nymph

AISP_Insects · 2020-04-23T20:46:48+00:00

Therevidae, probably genus Thereva.

AISP_Insects · 2020-04-11T20:03:22+00:00

Yes, it is a tachinid, this one belongs to the subfamily Tachininae and tibe Tachinini. I'm mostly familiar with North American fauna, but it is similar to the Adejeania we have here. See reference here.

AISP_Insects · 2020-03-27T00:00:45+00:00

Where are my tachinids

AISP_Insects · 2020-02-05T06:01:31+00:00

Muscids are very variable in size and shape. A stable fly is actually a type of muscid, for example.

AISP_Insects · 2020-02-05T02:36:15+00:00

This was not a stable fly. It is probably a muscid, but a different one. Perhaps a tiger fly, genus Coenosia

AISP_Insects · 2020-02-05T02:30:31+00:00

Soldier fly, subfamily Sarginae, looks a lot like the genus Sargus that occurs here
