The musk beetle (Aromia moschata) is a Eurasian species of longhorn beetle belonging to the subfamily Cerambycinae, tribe Callichromatini. Its name comes from the delicate musky smell it emits when menaced.\nDescription:\nThis beetle is characterised by very long antennae (like all other Cerambycids and a somewhat coppery or greenish metallic tint. The typical form, characterised by a pronotum with a metallic color, is widespread in Europe, except for most of Spain and Southern Italy. In such regions, in North Africa, and in Asia to Japan, the species is represented by some subspecies characterised by a more or less red pronotum. The antennae are longer than the entire head and body length in male and as long as body in females. Nevertheless, the Oriental subspecies have usually shorter antennae. \nBiology:\nThe adults are usually found on leaves, especially those of the willow trees, where the larva of this species lives. The secretion with the characteristic musky smell is produced in thoracic glands, and is expelled through openings located on the distal part of the metasternum, near the hind legs articulation. The secretion was formerly supposed to contain salicylaldehyde or a salicylic ether, but there is now evidence that it consists instead mainly of four different monoterpenes, among which rose oxide, one of the most important fragrances in perfumery (source Wikipedia). \n\nThis Picture is made in a Marsh Region in the Netherlands, where Willows are growing.

Leptura quadrifasciata, the spotted longhorn beetle, is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Carl Linnaeus in his landmark 1758 10th edition of Systema Naturae. \nAdult beetles are 11–20 mm long, black with four more or less continuous transverse yellow bands. In extreme cases the elytra may be almost entirely black. It is found throughout the Northern and Central Palaearctic region. \nLarvae make meandering galleries in various trees, including oak, beech, birch, willow, alder, elder and spruce. The life cycle lasts two or three years.\nThe adults are very common flower-visitors, especially Apiaceae species, feeding on pollen and the nectar (source Wikipedia). \n\nThis is a common Species in the Netherlands on the described Habitats.

Tot 50-55mm, Ab, 37-42mm, Hw 30-35mm.\nIdentification:\nThe characters of this clubtail are rather different . It prefers very large (lowland) rivers and may easily be overlooked. Populations can best be found by searching for exuviae on river banks.\nOccurrence:\nA north Asian species, with western outposts in large rivers such as the Rhine, Loire and Po. Common in large lowland rivers in eastern Europe, but staged a strong comeback in Western Europe in the 1990s. Now abundant in rivers such as the Rhine, Elbe and Danube, right down to their estuaries.\nHabitat:\nSlow flowing lower sections of large rivers with sandy beds. Larvae burrow shallowly in fine substrates with relatively high concentrations of organic matter.\nFlight Season:\nLate and protracted, compared with other Gomphus species, from early June to early October, with maximum emergence in June and July.\n\nThis is a scarce Gomphus Species along the large Dutch Rivers. This Picture is made along the River Waal, near “Slot Loevestein” in the Province of Gelderland.

Cuckoo wasp (aka emerald wasp) on Queen Anne's lace (aka wild carrot) in summer, Connecticut. A small, brilliantly colored, parasitic wasp that lays its eggs in the nests of other insects. So named because cuckoos (i.e., birds) are brood parasites as well.
