@BiologyCarly My favourite „fact“: how much there is that we don’t know. Likely there are more undescribed species of Diptera and Hymenoptera alone than there are known species; see e.g. 👇
@Christian_NDBy @Milvus70234020 @CMMCMLXXI1 Uff, es gibt ein paar Leute, die schätzen, dass es noch sehr viele unerkannte parasitoide Hymenopterenarten gibt, aber da geht es eher um die nicht-Aculeata. Und man muss mit so Schätzungen halt auch vorsichtig s

@BotelhoRenan E ainda não descobrimos nem 20% deles. Pra ter noção, hoje existem 1.3 Mi de espécies de insetos descritas, 400k são de besouros. Existem estimativas que mostram que só de vespas parasitoides seja + de 1 milhão (hoje +- 80-70k). Ácaros? 1 Mi.
@BiologoRangel Ótimo registro! A aranha é uma Selenops sp. mocinha, a aranha-mural. A Pompilidae não faço ideia E as vespas parasitoides realmente são MUUUUITO diversas Existem estimativas que colocam elas com mais que o dobro de espécies dos besouros. Ma

@PoorMatty No, you’re probably a wasp: https://t.co/c9phfIyVLi
@alienorganz It’s probably not true. It’s probably wasps, because nearly every insect species has a wasp that parasitizes them. But that probably isn’t very comforting either . . . https://t.co/c9phfIyVLi
@CSIRO One out of every ~described~ species. If more parasitoid wasps were studied, it would probably be the bee/wasp family: https://t.co/c9phfIyVLi

Não é tão difícil encontrar espécies novas de parasitoides, estima-se que são os grupos mais diversos dos artrópodes, passando até mesmo os besouros em número de espécies. O problema é que esses grupos e processos são muito pouco estudados e acompanhados.

Pesquisadores estimam que o número de espécies de parasitoides supera e muito os atuais descritos, tanto de himenópteros (formigas, abelhas e vespas) quanto de dípteros (moscas e mosquitos). Dobrando o estimado de besouros, que por enquanto lideram o rank.

This was recently challenged by @Lord_Forbington et al. They assert that the order of Ants, Bees, and Wasps known as Hymenoptera, are possibly 2.5-3.2x times larger than the beetles, thanks to the diverse but relatively unknown parasitoid wasps https://t.c
