the taxonomy section of the wikipedia article about things named after tolkien and his works is insane.

loving the crazy ass scientists who named an absurd amount of grass-miner moths after tolkien characters. there’s a STUPID amount of elves btw.

also,

there’s more. would you still love them if they were worms….

there’s way more including Shrimp Baggins Family, a bunch of attempts (some successful some not) to name wasps after elves, dwarves and hobbits and like one amoeba named after gimli but honestly just go look at it yourselves it’s SO funny

#arya talks #ohh the biologist in me is cackling this is hilarious #also in fruit flies the gene named smaug & the gene degrading it called bard…. absolutely hysterical. #jrr tolkien #the lord of the rings #the hobbit #the silmarillion #moths #worms #i’m not tagging every character sorry #taxonomy

Let me introduce you to one of my favorite insects, the humble drain fly.

Also known as the moth fly, we are specifically taking about Clogmia albipunctata. These adorable little cuties are true flies and their natural habitats are swampy wet areas.

"But Alex," you scream, frothing at the mouth, eyes bulging, "Why are they called drain flies?"

While the adults eat nectar or just water, the larvae are aquatic and eat decaying matter. Drain flies have discovered that our sewage system is a neverending supply of disgusting organic stuff just decaying away. Yummy! As such, they can often be found in drains. Maybe you've had drain flies? Rejoice, for you have been blessed.

The best thing about these guys?

They fly like drunk idiots.

They are special little guys, perfect in every way.

Moth flies in the subfamily Psychodinae

Although most people are familiar with the common bathroom moth fly (aka drain fly, Clogmia albipunctata), there are dozens of described species found worldwide.

Taxonomy Tournament: Insects

Diptera. This order, known as the true flies, is made up of insects that fly using onle a single pair of wings. Members inclue fruit flies, houseflies, and mosquitos

Lepidoptera. This order is made up of butterflies and moths. It is the second largest order (behind beetles) making up 10% of all described species of living things. They have large triangular wings and a proboscis for siphoning nectar.

this gigantic bumblebee-mimic tachinid fly (Belvosia borealis) is definitely one of the most impressive flies I’ve ever seen (Maine, 7/30/22)

tachinid larvae are internal parasitoids of other insects, but while their life cycle is pretty grisly the adult flies are harmless nectar feeders. A parasite as large as B. borealis surely needs a large host, and I was unsurprised to learn that they prey mainly on saturniids and sphingids, moths with huge sausage-sized caterpillars

Unfortunately, many saturniid and sphinx moths have declined steeply or even been wiped out from northeastern North America. This is probably due to a variety of factors including the deliberate introduction of the small tachinid fly Compsilura concinnata from Europe, which preys indiscriminately on many native butterflies and moths as well as the pests it was meant to control. I imagine the scarcity of hosts in the region may explain why I’ve never seen B. borealis before.
