Here is a gallery for my favorite Wikipedia and Commons images.

I also contribute to Commons, Wikidata, Wikispecies, etc. as needed.

Articles created

1. Hemaris aethra

• Extra stuff from research/article-writing
• To-do list: copyedit; seasonal data

2. Alpinobombus – could use expansion, created ahead of Bombus pyrrhopygus (see drafts and to-do list)

To-do

Insects

Hymenoptera

• WikiProject Hymenoptera...?
• Apoidea: phylogeny needs to be reviewed — potentially outdated/in need of reorganization
  • Sphecidae/Bembicinae/Crabronidae relative to each other and Anthophila
  • Phylogenetic tree on Apoidea is c. 2018 and does not match the phg. relationships given in family articles, e.g. Bembici(n/d)ae given as outgroup of Sphecidae rather than as subfamily nested within Crabronidae
    • Move to a template of its own and transclude onto relevant page(s)?
  • General inconsistencies between pages without acknowledgement of conflicting/shifting evidence (if that is why) — e.g., bees arose as clade within Crabronidae or within Ammoplanidae? (check this, don't know if still the case)
    • Ammoplanidae as sister group to bees...?
  • Halictidae (sweat bees)
    • Review genera Agapostemon, Halictus, Lasioglossum, Augochlora, ...
    • Ceratina australensis
  • Bombus stubs + missing articles
    • Alpinobombus (subgenus) created; needs expansion

Lepidoptera

• Hemaris genus of hawkmoths
  • North American clearwings:
    • diffinis – update: diffinis as species complex; splitting off of thetis in 2009, aethra in 2018; potential remaining cryptic species (Schmidt 2009, 2018)
    • thysbe
    • gracilis – occurrence, decline(?); extremely spotty distribution (my conjecture/observation — "original research"?); many modern records are unreliable or actually wrong / thysbe or diffinis (...source?)
    • thetis – Schmidt 2009
    • aethra – created article; needs copyediting

Neuroptera

• Green lacewing subfamilies Apochrysinae and Nothochrysinae

Coleoptera

• Coccinellini
