My first wild hellbender! This is a younger one; they can grow to about twice this size. Definitely a critter sighting that I’ve had on my bucket list.

Happy Father's day as well to all the bug dads. Male water bugs, Belostomatidae, carry their partner's eggs around on their backs until they hatch, making sure the temperature and oxygen levels are acceptable, and the predators are at bay.

The exteriors of spider eyes are part of the exoskeleton, so can't move. But in jumping spiders, the internal parts of the large central eyes have muscles that can swivel and twist to help the spider aim its eyes from inside the head. This is a 4-frame.gif showing that internal movement. 🌿🐙🕷️👀

Masks are under serious threat at being banned widely due to politicization. This would be a public health disaster. If you are only wearing a mask at protests, please consider also wearing them elsewhere. The more people mask, the more we normalize masks and protect them against bans.

It is … asinine to discuss protestors knocking over a trash can, or spraying graffiti on a cop car, when the federal government is trying to take away Medicare from millions of people, deporting people to overseas prisons, tackling U.S. senators, and kidnapping people at immigration court hearings.

I agree with the "no kings" if it means seizing and redistributing the wealth of the billionaires, otherwise if you change the president tomorrow we are still fucking serfs

Interesting update from the person who first called it out in the forums: "@procyonloiter and I just had a 3-hour in-person talk with @loarie and I am delighted to say that it has completely alleviated my concerns around this entire issue."

Gnome Plant sighting! These strangely beautiful plants are #Holomycotrophic, in that they get all their nutrients from fungi instead of photosynthesizing. Their fungi buddies are typically Russulaceae. I choose to see them as flowers grown by fungi vs fungi parasitizers. 🌱🍄📸 #RarePlants #Nature

If the United States saw what the United States is doing in the United States, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.

Painted a kingfisher for a friend in memory of their dad. Brought back memories of mine cos he had this porcelain model of one that I used to try (and fail) to draw. A bit happier with this one #birds #kingfisher 🪶

I did my best to compile as many protest safety notes as possible into a one page foldout zine! Coincidentally…it seems the file has breached containment…like it’s available for anyone to print or hand out 👀⚖️ toonyart.com/s/PSZine.pdf

Out of all small mammals, bats are especially poorly suited for these sorts of daft trinkets: long-lived (some species live into their 30s) and slow-breeding, their populations can easily get hammered. Please sign 🦇
