I enjoyed the lone, tiny myrmecophilic springtail in this one Citronella ants + mealybugs + springtail

I was trying to get some thermal video of Banana's proboscis, but he wouldn't stop trying to give me kisses. #tapirs #costarica

This is the year of the snake, but every year can be the year of caterpillar! 🐛 caterpillar can do anything! Therefore here’s the 12 Chinese zodiac in caterpillar version! Which is the your caterpillar zodiac?

Please enjoy thirty seconds of this nemertean ribbon worm. It would take three minutes if we waited for the tail to show up, because the worm is very long (next post). This is a species of Nemertopsis, and it hitchhiked into the lab on some barnacles from the Gulf Coast of Florida. #Invertefest

Thank you very much for your support in 2024. Wish you for a happy new year, with crabs I met in 2024. 今年もお世話になりました。今年のカニたちを添え、どうかよいお年をお迎えください。 🦀🦑🧪 #crab #カニ #invertebrate #addOcean

And here's a Fat Innkeeper Worm (Urechis caupo) – I'm especially fond of the crown of golden spikes around its (inverte)butt, though the two up by its proboscis are also nice. I find these guys in Bodega Bay. But yeah... spoon worms are weird. #InverteFest

the closest tsaocca is closing near me im so heartbroken. tomorrow is the last day 😭

Many people have seen the incredible 'courtship' of our Wood Whites (Cryptic in this case), where the male flicks his proboscis either side of the female's head, but this rarely leads to a pairing. Unlike other Pierids ('whites'), an unreceptive female just sits there, saving her energy!

For the 19th day of #Crustmas: a Mantis Shrimp! Usually quite difficult to spot, this little critter was just crawling around a sponge as I drifted by and paused at just the right moment for this 📸 (Villa Blanca Reef, Cozumel MX) 🦑🦀🌊🤿 #underwaterphotography #olympus #tg5

HBO has declined to renew “Sesame Street” for new episodes. The series that’s been teaching generations of little kids since 1969 now has no studio. Please consider donating to Sesame Workshop to ensure the residents of 123 Sesame Street are still around to teach kids of all needs and backgrounds.

Quick crab drawing guides that @jopabinia.bsky.social and I made a few years back to get you all started for this month's #InsertAnInvert2024 theme: Carcinization. Fun fact, this was the beginning of the whole "Insert An Invert" series

This is the Double Drummer - Australia’s largest #cicada and also the loudest insect in the world. Or at least, the males are (this one is a girl). Found her in the car park at work, I think she’s on her way out. :( #bugsky #inverts #auswildlife #wildoz

It's true that bluesky isn't great for news and commentary about Palestine. Maybe it will get better, maybe it won't. But we have to keep trying because it's crucial to talk about Palestine precisely where it feels unwelcome.
