Happy #Feathursday! The shoe-billed stork (Balaeniceps rex) lives in tropical east Africa in large swamps from Sudan to Zambia. #SciArt by British painter Charles Whymper for "Egyptian birds for the most part seen in the Nile Valley" (1909), which was intended to provide non-scientific readers with information about birds found around Egypt.

While in everyday conversation, all insects are often referred to as "bugs", scientifically speaking only those in the order Hemiptera are "true bugs". These include groups such as the cicadas, aphids, planthoppers, leafhoppers, and shield bugs.

We're #BugginOut over this #SciArt, which includes hemipteran insects such as cicadas and planthoppers. Chromolithographic plate by the noted firm of Louis Prang from "Our Living World: An Artistic Edition of the Rev. J. G. Wood's Natural History of Animate Creation", v. 3 (1885). John George Woods' original work was revised and adapted by Joseph Bassett Holder for this edition. This book is available in #BHLib thanks to the University Library at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign #UIUC (@uillinoislibrary). Direct page link: https://s.si.edu/32xEiZJ.

Happy #caturday! While going through some newly catalogued miniature books, we noticed that this 1994 copy of Tabitha’s Tale looked awfully familiar.... This feline also appears within one of the volumes of Historiae Animalium, which we happen to have! A purrrfect reason for a caturday photo shoot. Thank you to student Meaghan Lemmenes for the great pictures! [Smith PS3551 N3598 T11 1994, super folio xfQL41 G37 v.1] #uiowa #specialcollections #iglibraries #miniaturebooks #charlottesmith

We're dedicating our last #BugginOut post to bees! Even in the 17th century, folks were buzzing over these little creatures. From artistic renderings, to in-depth depictions of bee hives, there's something in our collection for everyone! .

We're #BugginOut over all these #beetles! We're excited to join in on this month's #LibrariesOfInstagram challenge sponsored by @SutroLibrary, and we will be sharing all sorts of wonderfully diverse #arthropods from the #insect world. This week , we're starting with the largest...largest order, that is. Beetles (order Coleoptera) are the largest group of animals on earth, representing around 25% of all described animal species. .
.
Another #FunFact for this month's @iglibraries theme — While most insects are colloquially referred to as bugs, only members of the order Hemiptera are "true bugs".
