Deepsea angler fish are famous for their fearsome appearance, but they pose no real threat to humans. Some are larger, but they are usually small, less than 10 inches long. The males are much smaller and parasitic on the females.

Introducing New Zealand's latest Bug of the Year- the magnificent Ngāokeoke / Velvet Worm! NZ has two genera: one lays eggs (Ooperipatellus, 1st photo) and another gives live birth (Peripatoides, 2nd). They also deposit sperm which burrow through their partner's skin, but that's another story! 🧪

He’s just so polite……….

Fun Fact: we have native bees that sleep in the petals of one of our plants in the garden bed (Alogyne) 🥰 It’s actually too cute I can’t handle it lmao

Just gotta buy some new socks, sandals, and a white sheet for mothing, and I am all packed for Sri Lanka on Saturday 🫣

An alpine subspecies of Killamoth; huge, intelligent predators from the world of #Amphibia. Their social structures show sophisticated intra-specific communication and co-operation, extending in one documented case into a alliance with their usual prey among the coastal subspecies!

Observe: artsy photos I took at one of work’s biodiversity offset sites which ran along some salt flats. There was uhh… just the front wheels/base/axel, some seat springs, ??? Where was the rest of the car??? Only god knows

Summer is such a sad time of year as a naturalist in Australia. The Gariwerd/Grampians and the Gurdies are both on fire at the moment - Gariwerd is such a special place ecologically, I’m devastated.. Hopefully they can reign the fire in asap

anniversary weekend!!! 7 years with @evanesce.bsky.social 🌄🌄🌄💕💕💕

FOUND A STAG BEETLE TODAY... she is beautiful...

I might actually create a second account for fantasy art stuff. Wasn't going to split accounts like that but I think I'd rather keep this as science and sci-art oriented so that fantasy stuff isn't burying science posts in my feed and vice-versa. Expect follows from another account soonish probs

Also started my new internship and I'm having SO much fun, it's an incredible company I've landed in and I'm so grateful that I was picked :') Have some bugs from my second day!

Replacing the GBR's substrate for like the 4th time because last time I put potting mix in the bottom half and we have been plagued by fungus gnats for the past 6 months

The colours in this photo I took at uni are so 🥰

What I’d give to be a chicken right now. Not a single clue who Donald Trump is. Strawberry for dinner

Don’t worry, they’re besties

Begging society to normalise knowledge on copyright and etiquette in regards to using artwork. Like forgetting about the ai slop, I see so many women in local pages who buy a mug/bottle press and suddenly they make hundreds of them with stolen artworks to sell online and art markets...

I made a Tumblr for all my nature photos 👀 Thought it would be the best way to find specific photos/species I've found! I'll sporadically update with all the backlog so photos won't necessarily be chronological for now. clumsyvelvetworms.tumblr.com
