Hi, queen. #bees #insects #invertebrates

The things we do for plants…

Snake: I'm a rattlesnake. Fear me. Me: You look like a bullsnake. Snake: No. I have a rattle. Listen! Me: That's not a rattle. You're just hitting your tail against the vegetation. Snake: Fear me! #wildlife #nature 🐡

It smells nice here. #forest #nature

This is how my physicist husband stacks the toilet paper. (Excuse the rare non-nature photo.)

Last year I planted nothing, as an experiment. Now we have our pioneer plants: Sycamore and sow thistle. #gardening #ecogardening

Cool fluffy ball of moss. #moss

Saw a good fern today. #ferns #moss #forest #nature

I've been a red clover for many's the year… #plants #nativeplants #naturephotography

Cheep meep from mister blackbird. #birds #lunchwalk

We saw you across the bar through our "ocellus", the ocular anatomy of marine invertebrates like ribbonworms or tubeworms incapable of complex image detection, and we think you'd make a great moving shadow above us like a large formless shape or a shift in water density due to changing temperature.

Me too, tree. #trees #forest #lunchwalk

Blue stag beetle (Platycerus caraboides) seen Friday. #insects #coleoptera #invertebrates

This is my hole! It was made for me! #invertebrates #amigarafault #naturephotography

(Putting on warm clothes straight from the dryer) Mmm this must be what toast feels like

Happy 100th birthday, Sir David Attenborough, and thank you for stimulating interest in nature in so many of us. #moss #forestfriday #naturephotography

When I asked what animals folks wanted me to draw for #TransArtMay, one kept coming up again and again, so here is an octopus for all you cephalopod fans because sometimes you have to just high-five yourself 🐙

Grape-like bundles of slime mold ripening on a tree. Badhamia utricularis. #slimemold #myxomycetes #fungifriends

They look like orange slices. #fungifriends #naturephotography

Wood curl, it reminded me of the acoustic openings in a cello. #forest #naturephotography

never stops being funny to me that i, a non-gamer, followed seamus years ago for his bread threads and like… probably a year later? casually discovered my beloved yeast guy on twitter also invented the xbox.

GREETINGS, MORTALS (Festive Tiger Beetle Edition, from today)

Interesting how some beetles are not smooth or hairy but they have these little scales on them. Most visible on the light scales on this scarab beetle. Valgus hemipterus (no common English name). #insects #beetles #coleoptera

We have an *extremely* important announcement to make. From Wednesday, we will be launching our puffin live cam, coming to you from the Farne Islands. So you can watch puffins all day long. In celebration, please enjoy this clip of puffins being really busy for 39 seconds straight.

I’ve found such a soft, bouncy forest #moss #forest #nature

Wearing a cardigan in a too-warm theater for neurotypical reasons. (Bare arm must not be touched by arm of stranger.)

Enhance! Look at that snout. #insects #diptera #invertebrates

Lovely wild grass lily from my lunch walk. (Ornithogalum umbellatum) #bloomscrolling #bloomposting #naturephotography

@petrathepostdoc.bsky.social I took a photo for you on my lunch walk just now! It stayed there for a while, butt to the ground, do you think Lady Beefly was laying eggs? #insects #diptera #invertebrates

April’s featured aquarium animal is actually a tag team! 🧽🦀 Suberites latus (a species of sea sponge) teams up with a yellow hermit crab to create the ultimate custom home. The sponge grows over the crab’s shell, so as the crab grows, its house grows too. No upgrades needed. 🏠

Spring vibe #trees #nature #naturephotography

This cool looking spider is the elusive Purseweb spider (Atypus affinis). I haven't seen it before as it hides a lot. They have massive jaws and they can live up to 7-8 years. #invertebrates #arachnids #spiders #naturephotography

Holly blue. (Celastrina argiolus) #insects #invertebrates #naturephotography

Got up early in hopes of catching this photo before work this morning. There's only a few days each year where it's cool enough in the morning to make this shot possible. Thankfully, today was one of those days! #wildlife #birds

Since its nesting and fledgling time now, I thought I’d share this cute image I managed to get of a Great Crested Grebe chick on a nest at Henley on Thames in Berkshire, taken from a distance #birds #thegardenjungle #wildlifephotography #birdwatching #shropshire #UKwildlife #birdphotography #canon
