I know my mental health has been pretty shit so maybe it's just that I spent so much of it dissociating but I feel like milkweed season went by so fast this year :(

The virgin mowed grass vs CHAD 4-7ft tall plants that only crybabies are afraid of.

Welp. We're going to be moving to a trailer park.... This evil landlord is forcing us to move to a place with no storage space and $250 more in rent. We can't afford a storage unit, there's shit we need to store. Please donate to my Ko-fi to help us afford a storage unit. ko-fi.com/sockynoob

I love these little goobers so much! I wish I saw them more. Last year we had large milkweed bugs (Oncopeltus fasciatus) and there were so many of them, both nymphs and imagos. Unfortunately haven't seen any of those this year. Hope it's not too late for more of the small ones to pop up at least 😔

Katydids aren't crickets, either!

Every time someone calls a cicada a locust an angel loses its wings

This double crested cormorant was nonchalant as hell, man. Completely unbothered by all the gulls mobbing him for his lunch. I can only dream of being as cool as him someday.🐟 #cormorant #birdsky #gull #pvd #providence #eastcoastkin

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

I feel so bad for brown recluses because they're so criminally misunderstood, and I feel bad for all other brown spiders in the US by proxy because everyone thinks they're brown recluses. :(

T. rex was formally named 120 years ago today. Hell yeah king happy birthday! #art

Would you believe this spindly guy is an assassin bug? I picked him up initially thinking he was a phasmid…then I got a closer look at the face and saw the rostrum, and the raptorial forelimbs started to make sense! He's a member of emesinae, a reduviid subfamily I didn't know about before! #bugsky

Did you know that small milkweed bugs (Lygaeus kalmii) have hearts on their backs? ◾️🔸️🖤🔸️◾️ #bugsky #hemiptera #heart #milkweed

...What do you mean it's the only member of the genus Phimosus? PHIMOSUS? PHIMOSIS? Do ornithologists even LIKE birds?

Our enemies are cowards, and we are going to defeat them. 🪶

Hey if you support the idea of "AI art" please block me right the fuck now <3 I doubt anyone who follows me or sees my page would support that nonsense but I just wanna put that out there

Time to pupate? 👀 #bugsky #ladybug #beetle #pupa

omg hiii

He's starting to get the hang of it! #bugsky #cricket #gryllus #stridulation

Hey #birdsky do people actually say this or am I being punk'd

The people wondering "how could anyone who isn't a professional escape after a high profile daylight assassination" are forgetting two things: 1. Cops are bad at their jobs 2. The FBI used to be somewhat better at their jobs and were recently gutted by political layoffs

Let’s make one thing clear from the start: Charlie Kirk was the victim of a shooting in a country where he, along with other right-wing extremist influencers, have been inciting violence for years. — Kirk is neither a martyr nor a hero, he is a cause.

Quick update on this plant and the one next to it–there are now significantly more mummies than live aphids. Every year there will be a few mixed in among the living ones, but I've never had THIS happen before! The wasps really had a field day. Absolutely wild, man. #bugsky #aphids #wasp #inverts

Baby's first antlion sighting!! Wowieeee

Every time I see a double crested cormorant I react like I'm witnessing a once-in-a-lifetime event though in reality I'll probably see one if I'm near saltwater 😭 I don't know why but I just get so excited every time without fail

Haha, about that…She really got to work huh? For those unaware all the orange aphids are just fine, but those black and brown ones are all dead--parasitized by wasps. Their larvae will eat the aphids' insides, pupate, and leave that husk behind. Pretty gnarly stuff. 🤘 #bugsky #aphids #wasp #inverts

Exploring Bayou Savage in New Orleans East I found this weevil posing on the beautiful backdrop of a flowering Saltmarsh Mallow.

Damn cormorant you don't gotta show off like that. 🪶

Formula Toss is a simple projectile that Marie can throw. #TheDeadlyStrike #FGC #FightingGame #PixelArt #IndieGame #GameDev

I suspect we'll be seeing more mummies on this plant in the near future... #bugsky #aphid #wasp #milkweed #inverts

some of you need to make like travis kelce and engage with a tailor swiftly

I see people online talking about oleander aphids harming their milkweed plants but I can't say they've ever caused me any problems? As far as I'm concerned they're just another yearly guest on the plant. I hope I'm not jinxing anything here, but I've alwaus really liked them. 😭

Uhhh the red-breasted merganser mating dance is hilarious

We've had a family of Eastern Bluebirds living in the backyard for a little while, and the chicks are starting to fledge! Look at this cutie I was lucky enough to see hanging out on the steps this morning! 🥹 #birdsky #bluebird #birding

this gives me an idea for an art project...i have been wanting to get back into sculpting...

new username because my name is sadie, cicadidae is my favorite family, and it's actually a bug related name. i made sadleby my other account's name instead

Aphid parthenogenisis is so interesting, like...telescoping generations? They're like matryoshka dolls...

You see an insect disguised as a leaf and think it's a leaf. I see a leaf and think it's an insect disguised as a leaf. We are not the same.

So it has begun...Oleander aphid takeover 2025 is upon us #bugsky #aphid #milkweed

I too, wish ill to J.K. Rowling

I drew this on my lunch break your excuses are fucking pathetic

posting another blurry bristletail pic so i can keep their tags alive #bugsky #archaeognatha #bristletail

August nights are one of my favorite things because there's always a whole orthopteran orchestra performing through them. It's also really fun to go out and hunt for them, especially the katydids! 🍃 #bugsky #orthoptera #katydid #summer

Herons look so graceful and majestic, even when hunting...Until two seconds later when it's time to actually eat the prey and you see them hork down a whole ass fish in one gulp.

Man on top of being useless, Gemini is just straight up rude!! All I wanted was to learn how to pronounce the genus house finches are in, you didn't have to insult them like that :(

being a red tailed hawk is probably so hard because for some reason every bird in their range who exhibits mobbing behavior always wants smoke with them

you know for bugs that eat like, scum and drain hair, drain flies are arguably the cutest dipteran family

Haven't seen any adult handsome trigs yet this year but I did hear one this evening! Everyone's growing up 🥺

just found out about these old beetle vpets but every ebay listing is like $150 minimum 😭 my birthday is in december so when you think about it thats basically august so if anyone wanted to get me a birthday present, i mean...
