In the past I’ve posted an end of the year list of my favorite photographs. This year let’s mix it up with a matching quiz. Can you match the adult insect with its immature stage or something associated with it? If you want to, leave your results in the comments. Bonus points for correct identifications. Note: Not all letters have been used. All the photos are from 2020.
Adult Insects:
A. She’s a big-eyed beauty on a stick.
B. This mimic may fool you because it resembles another popular insect.
C. Often seen visiting flowers.
D. Flies away to the mountains in the summer.
K. The hardest of all, although the answer is here in the blog.
Now match the adults with their life stages or products.
F. Has a very specific host plant.
L. Not an insect, but produced by insects.
(The answers are now posted.)
