Bugs 🐝 🐞 🪲

I’ve posted this before, but for people wanting to find slime molds, here is a size reference. Personally I was only able to find slime molds regularly once I knew what size to look for (smaller than I thought). #slimemold #fungifriends #forest #nature

What are you currently working on? Any cosy projects? 🍂 Here's mine! A little autumnal bunny for the upcoming teabag bookmark collection 🐇

An older comic about pigeon nests.

Cyanicula / Caladenia caerulea (blue fingers) near Genoa, VIC. Generally a fairly uniform species but in most populations there are usually a few slightly bluer + a few slightly lighter flowers. Not a large orchid - tip of my little finger included here for scale. #orchids #inthefield #ozplants

Some little life photos from a backpacking trek this week. Newfoundland, Canada.

Vandaag is de laatste dag dat je nee kunt zeggen tegen de 'versimpeling' (lees: afbraak) van de Europese natuurbeschermingswetten.

Orange Porecap - a striking species with a vibrant orange colour & honeycomb-shaped pores, found in South Somerset (Favolaschia claudopus) 🧡🍊 #Fungi #FungiFriends #Mushrooms

Remember these old paintings I used to do, would you like to buy a pdf that collects all 70+ of them together? If you make me feel really good maybe we can bump it up to 80, 90? Probably not

very important 👇 🐟 🦑 🦀 🪶 non-scientists can also sign a petition - German version in the thread.

He's helping me study plants (by blocking my entire view of the book). #cats #botany

White-winged dove in gouache in my new watercolor sketchbook. Yes, I was definitely singing the song in my head while i painted 😅 #birdart #sciart #originalart #traditionalart #gouache #sketchbook #wildlifeart

Similar consequences in lack of seed dispersal and ubiquitous ecological decline are still playing out globally from the loss of elephant species and other mega-herbivores. Their role may be FAR more important than we collectively have yet to realize.

I made a new friend! 🐌 #snail #invert #besties #nature

saw a BEAUTIFUL WEASEL

Here's an owlet showing off his flexibility last week.🪶

Given the weather today, we focused on the ecological aspects of our butterfly fauna; geology (chalk, clay, sand/gravel), habitats (grassland, woodland, heathland), flora and fauna. Here are some of the butterfly eggs we examined - White Admiral, Small Blue and Small Copper (library pics).

First a snake, now a mantis xD those damselflies are the best ride hitchers. What's next?

Ardgour Birches - only needs backing sewn on. I’ve decided to use it as a sample and weave it again in a larger size to capitalise on all the good ideas in this piece. This is approximately 20cm on the short edge. • #handspunyarn #canberraspinnersandweavers #australiantapestry #australian #craft 🧶

September header photo winner is Alan Coles with this brilliant photo of a damselfly appearing to hitch a ride on a grass snake at Summer Leys! 👏 Look out soon for how to enter for October!

Baffling to consider the Dutch equivalent of "Bat Lover" is "Vleermuis Liefhebber". That's just such a long word.. 😬

Someday soon the field work season will be over and I might become a bit less busy.... Maybe 😆😅

De laatste foto voor vandaag is voor #beau_gustus met het thema #detail Dit zijn de vleugels van de weidebeekjuffer ♂️ 🧚‍♂️😃 @ta57.bsky.social #natuurvrienden #natuur #insect

I'm working on a series of black ink drawings of Dutch indigenous species. I drew this Papilio machaon (🇳🇱 Koninginnepage) for #InverteFest 🦋 #invert #butterfly #inkdrawing #drawing #art #SciArt #insects

✨Starting on Monday!✨ #SciArtSeptember is a month-long creative challenge inspired by natural sciences. 🌿 Post on your own schedule. Post new work, old work, work-in-progress. Post artwork, music, words - whatever you like to make. (Thematic baked goods?🤞) - #SciArt #SciComm #Nature

Bats are such wonderful and fascinating animals. It's such a shame people view them negatively. That makes it much harder to protect them. That's why I always tell people about how useful, admirable and vulnerable they are.

This sounds insane to speak out loud, but is a real statistic: The global seafood industry kills at least 1 trillion wild fish every year to supply 1% of the world’s food. www.cambridge.org/core/journal... www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

✨Non-US Shop Share✨ The US tariffs have a big impact on non-US shops, loosing a lot of customers. I'm doing this share so you can promote your shop and try to find new people! I'll try to share as much as I can! ⭐Non-US shops only ⭐Share this post ⭐Post your products and links ⭐No A/I, no N/F/T

Weidevogels red je niet door roofvogels te vervolgen, maar door hun leefgebied te versterken. Roofvogelvervolging is onacceptabel. Alleen met gezonde gebieden hebben weidevogels een toekomst in Fryslân. Lees het stuk van Hans van der Werf (FMF) en Keimpe Strikwerda (BFVW): lc.nl/opinie/roofv...

The Dutch Postal Service has temporarily halted sending any packages to the US until the tariff situation is clear. Apparently US customs doesn't have a system in place yet to charge the fees. Therefore I'll also temporarily halt shipments to the US until this situation is cleared up.

you can now get a print of it here www.inprnt.com/gallery/geor... (plus some 1200dpi scan sections just for fun)

I now have new prints available! These and a few more previously didn't have print versions. Check them out on my Etsy, and shares are very appreciated. 💚 lostthicket.etsy.com
