Excited about this new paper studying competition between lipid-scavenging #parasitoids sharing the same host. The later-arriving species shifts to #hyperparasitism to ensure sufficient resources. Don't miss the amazing photos!

An emerald-green moth missing for nearly 150 years has been rediscovered in South Africa.
Photos posted online confirmed the survival of Drepanogynis insciata, once known only from 1870s specimens — highlighting the power of citizen science platforms like iNaturalist.
