Oak treehoppers are out! Known for their endearing maternal care, mamas remain with their babies until they emerge as adults and eventually leave the oak branch where they were born.

Oak Treehopper Mama Update! Here she is with entire brood. They're getting big! So, why is it nice to leave some leaves around? These kids will hibernate over winter as adult females in leaf litter. (Platycotis vittata) PA

It's #internationalredpandaday! I painted this in July 2024. Acrylics on 11x14 wood panel. #art #sciart #redpanda #animalart #acrylics #painting

#BlueSkyArtShow One of the reasons Sculpture is my favorite way to create is the fact there are different #Angles to consider. The work is different depending on how you approach. There are facets. It's kind of similar to getting to know a person 😁 #ArtConnect #Art #ArtYear #ArtGallery #BSNM 🦑🐡

Please go forth and tell some artists, photographers, writers and other creative people that you love what they do! #birds #SciArt 🌿

Possibly the most chaotic #museum collection I've ever seen: a drawer containing literally thousands of pinned #flies, at the Chau Chak Wing Museum at @sydney.edu.au. True fact: this drawer contains more museum objects than the entire UK National Gallery.

Here they are, the first Dark-sided Flycatcher in the known history of the lower 48 states of the United States. It's a bad time to visit, little guy!! Even more obscene, it's zipping around Google's campus in Palo Alto, California. They're destroying your planet, buddy!! #birds

Shits tense right now. Here's a pelican for comic relief. 🪶

just some wasp resting... with moth-like antennae, and a moth-like fluffy body, and kinda moth-like legs, and--hey what the heck~ #bugsky #moth #insect #mimic

I don’t know what has sparked the resurgence of library discussion today, but I will add to the chorus of author voices on this one. Please please please request our books at your local library. Just as a reminder, if half the libraries in the US carried my ebooks I’d be in another tax bracket. 💙📚

We could be 5 to 10 years from toothpaste that can regrow tooth enamel. The scales are beginning to tip in favor of Mars once sustaining life. We’ll potentially know for sure by 2040. The blue macaw is up to 160 individuals from an all-time low of 7, and confirmed to be breeding in the wild.

In the same vein: In 1980, there were just 250 mountain gorillas left in the world. Now, there are 1063. Cancer treatments are advancing so rapidly than oncologist now worn their patients that the customary five-year survival rate is no longer an accurate measurement of what to expect.

While we absolutely need to be paying attention to all of the incredibly awful and concerning shit that’s going on, I think it’s important to note that good things are, in fact, happening all around us as well. News of it just doesn’t travel quite as far.

Good morning! Day 2 of @instbirdpop.bsky.social TMAPS #birdbanding begins today! It's great to have this year's wet season off to a good start! 🪶🧪🌏

Continuing with dive pics from the archives (my dive computer is broken and the weather has been terrible so missing the water a bit). This is up-close and personal with an adult Yellowmargin moray, a very large but very mellow species unless you're an octopus, in which case this is Death. :) 🌿📷🦑🐟

We report while the clouds take flight: the wind blows from the southwest following an air pressure drop. It is fierce, loud, setting the sky alight in its wake. We hear whistles as it weaves through the trees, howls when it tries to get under the roof of our home.

One of my most popular articles is this one, on the Muscovy duck. I have no idea why. tetzoo.com/blog/2023/9/... #ducks #birds #ornithology

Sometimes you feel pretty good about a piece, and then you see how a pro does it. It’s good to be humbled sometimes.
