this twitchy creature traveling across a wooden handrail in Singapore is Myrmeplata wanlessi. if you are a human unfamiliar with this species, or a bird or lizard this display is aimed at, you might be surprised to learn that this animal is a jumping spider, not an ant.

Walked several miles and poked through countless patches of brush and swamp grasses today to find one (1) tiny Chalcoscirtus diminutus lad because I was at a new spot and knew they had to be out there because the habitat was right. He did not disappoint 🖤 #EmotionalSupportSpood

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! 🧪

This velvety manakin female on the road to San Blas, Panama, flew in when we were looking for an antbird, landing just a few feet in front of me. The photo is uncropped and unedited. #birds

Even on a dull winter day, this Blue Tit is as vibrant as ever! 💛💙 Longer days bring fierce competition as males battle for prime nest sites, securing an early advantage for breeding. #bird #birdphotography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #nature #naturephotography #sony #bluesky #photography #art

When you are just trying to chill but the winds of chaos be a-blowin' Couldn't help but chuckle at this little nudibranch feeling the gusts, rhinophores (bunny ears!) getting swept flat side to side in the surge 🧪🦑🐙 #MarineLife #inverts How would you caption this? 😄

Just a girl and her bundle of baby clones she's wearing like an ass turban 🥹 My population of Schizomida (parthenogenic tailless whipscorpions) are so happy in their box of dirt. As always, tending a box of dirt is such a good decision and I recommend it.

Redwoods and rhododendrons with fog, what else can you ask for? 🥳 It took many failed attempts visiting this place to finally get this image, but when it finally happened it was such an exciting experience, something Ai will never be able to replace. #california #nationalparks #nature #photography

The salamanders were moving the other night after heavy rainfall in CA. And so were the snails, in such vast quantities that they were crawling over the salamanders. I saw this happen more than once. This Southern California Slender Salamander was completely unfazed. Batrachoseps major #herps 🐌🐸🦎

We could all really use an aww or a laugh, or whatever this it: The funniest bird sex video I've ever captured, safely behind a rope where the state has given the snowy plovers a safe mating area away from bird paparazzi. Stick around till the end, it's worth it. #birds

I put this extremely long child in my large isopod enclosure like a year ago or something and she's apparently still very happy. Almost never see her, she likes it that way. Geophilomorpha, the soil centipedes. ❤️
