Colin PurringtonFrass, insect excrement, is a word derived from the German verb "fressen" (devour, to eat as a beast does). The Oxford English Dictionary has the first instance of frass in 1854, by the entomologist Henry Stainton. He published a description of Stigmella salicis that year (see leaf mine pic via link), so perhaps he needed a word to describe the excrement produced by the larva. I'm not sure whether Germans were already using Fraß for that meaning (anyone?). <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/frass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#frass</a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/insect" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#insect</a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/etymology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#etymology</a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/entomology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#entomology</a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/german" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#german</a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/lepidoptera" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lepidoptera</a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/inaturalist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#inaturalist</a> <a href="https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/247952046" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/247952046</a>

sohkamyungA Common Bluebottle (Graphium sarpedon) spotted at Ulu Sembawang Park Connector, Singapore on 24 Nov 2024.

Ashes and DustFor <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/MothMonday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MothMonday</a> I give you the leaf mine of the Poison Ivy Leaf-miner Moth. As its name suggests, the larvae live in and mine the insides of Poison Ivy (Toxicodendron) leaves, clearly unaffected by the oil that so irritates human skin. The mines are relatively common around here (southern Manitoba). The adults are small but rather elegant. <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/insect" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#insect</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/lepidoptera" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lepidoptera</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/leafminer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#leafminer</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/moth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#moth</a>
