SIDEBAR:
All things Arthropoda (not just Insecta)!
Share pictures, ask questions, and solicit identification. Higher-quality pictures are easier to identify. Do not guess the species of an insect, use a dichotomous key to be sure.
Please understand that handling wild animals, bugs or otherwise, can be dangerous. Seek immediate medical attention if you’ve been bitten or stung by something.
Sweet! There are some additional more specific arthropod communities (arachnids and myriapods off the top of my head) on mander.xyz if anyone is looking.
If you’re able to link them here (still learning) I will add them to the sidebar. “bugs” on lemmy.world will just be a mostly fluffy place for pretty pictures and quick IDs so it would be epic to be able to point people towards more scientific or specialized communities!
