Bugs: Chubbuck, Idaho

Just a fraction of the insects flying and crawling around in Chubbuck, Idaho.

This big Ten-Lined June Beetle flew into my Chubbuck, Idaho, kitchen while I was frying my homegrown potatoes, 29JUL2023.  They are common in the U.S. & Canada. This one has underdeveloped ‘paddle’ antennae. They are known for being bad at flying, often flying into obstacles. The larvae take as long as four years to develop:

This bee seemed to love this giant Chubbuck onion, 29JUN2023:

I found a couple of Praying Mantis crawling on the ground, I thought they might want to be higher up, but they wouldn’t have anything to do with it, August 2022:

Cat Faced Spider (Araneus gemmoides, aka Jewel Spider), I haven’t seen any for the past few years (the Pland-emic?).  They should also be called ‘human eye’ spider because they have designs on their backs that look like eyeballs.

FAT HOPPER, AND THE GHOST OF ITS FORMER SELF

A praying mantis paid a visit to my computer keyboard, in Chubbuck, Idaho. I tried to put it outside, but it seemed to like the attention and didn’t want to leave. Video by me, September 2020:

Operation Jupiter: International military organization warns of new Killer Insects?

After the First World War, several countries formed a new international military organization called International Committee of Military Medicine (ICMM).  From the 5th to the 9th of September 2022, the ICMM held a conference in Brussels, Belgium (which also happens to be the HQ of NATO, and the pseudo-capital of the European Union).

The ICMM now includes the militaries of at least 32 countries, however, this year’s conference included the United Nations’ (UN) World Health Organization (WHO), the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), and the World Veterinary Association (WVA).  There was also a focus on the African country of Ghana: “We’ve teamed up with the Ghanaian military for decades, including helping establish the Ghana Armed Forces Entomology Center of Excellence in 2021.”-Commander Ian Sutherland, U.S. Navy Entomology Center of Excellence

What is worrying all those different militaries, and the UN-WHO, ICRC and WVA,  is not Coronavirus, or any virus or bacteria, but rather the emergence of insecticide resistant insects who are considered to be carriers/spreaders of microbial germs (aka vector-borne diseases).

The U.S. Navy Entomology Center of Excellence revealed it is updating its Insecticide Resistance Response System (IRRS), and working on creating more durable and longer-lasting insecticide treated netting, as well as new field-portable insect testing kits to test for insecticide resistance.

In 2019, the U.S. Congress passed an Act requiring a National Strategy to fight future vector borne disease carriers.
