För detta nummer av geniet av pressen, who can tell me what’s wrong with this article? Det är ganska subtila, men en tydlig misstag, särskilt för Livescience.

Hymenoptera and diptera are orders, not species.
That’s not actually what I was looking for, but I would agree that it’s some really bad writing. Clearly that should read “species of hymenoptera and diptera”. So I guess you’re right on that account!
MEN, there is one other error that is even a bit worse…
Pictured critter is an hymenopteran. Doesn’t seem too subtle a mistake to me.
Exactly – more basic insect mistakes that I would expect from a lower quality publication. A wasp is not a fly!
But other than the glaring mistakes, the story behind this is very cool. I will have to now go back and take a look at the Braconids I studied as an undergraduate! I wonder how well these color patterns hold up between species or genera…
Hoppsan, bad Live Science.
Thanks for this, I missed the article that this is referencing, very cool and beautiful stuff.
[…] Thanks for Chris at Skeptical Moth for bringing this paper, which cruised below my radar, to light. […]
