AnatomyAnagoge @anatomyanagoge.bsky.social · 12/09/2026This red-legged grasshopper was climbing up the side of my building. They are extremely common across New England, and adults like this are abundant in late summer into early fall. 🦗 000
AnatomyAnagoge @anatomyanagoge.bsky.social · 06/06/2026Snapping turtle, probably decades old. At first glance, the shell looked badly cracked, but it may actually be old scute wear and natural shell aging. It also looked like there may be evidence of a healed injury from years ago. He moved without any issue, and I’d left him to his business. 🐢 000

AnatomyAnagoge @anatomyanagoge.bsky.social · 19/03/2026No sign of the Kennebunk sea serpent this morning. Just an extremely ornery old person. ☹️ 020
AnatomyAnagoge @anatomyanagoge.bsky.social · 03/12/2025After yesterday’s snow, the sky showed up with this incredible pattern of clouds. 000

AnatomyAnagoge @anatomyanagoge.bsky.social · 06/09/2025Saw this katydid on the deck door today. They’re close relatives of grasshoppers and crickets, but you can tell them apart by their super long antennae. At night, they’re part of that background chorus you hear in late summer. 010
AnatomyAnagoge @anatomyanagoge.bsky.social · 31/08/2025I leave peanuts and banana chips on my steps for my chipmunk neighbor. In return, it leaves me a pebble. Sometimes part of an acorn. It’s our little trade agreement, no tariffs involved. 010
AnatomyAnagoge @anatomyanagoge.bsky.social · 31/08/2025Saw a line of turtles sunning themselves on a log during my walk today, probably painted turtles. In another month or so, they’ll enter brumation until early spring. Some days, I wish I could too. 000
AnatomyAnagoge @anatomyanagoge.bsky.social · 21/07/2025Spotted a heron standing still by the Cape Cod Canal earlier, just before reaching the Sagamore Bridge. It stood motionless as we passed, eyes on the water waiting for the perfect strike. 120
AnatomyAnagoge @anatomyanagoge.bsky.social · 18/07/2025Beautiful cirrus clouds brushed across the New England sky today. “Cirrus” comes from Latin, meaning a curl or tuft of hair. But it doesn’t just belong to the sky - in biology, it’s a feathery limb on a barnacle or a coiled organ in a worm. In botany, a curling tendril. Here it means good weather! 000
AnatomyAnagoge @anatomyanagoge.bsky.social · 05/07/2025Just met this longhorned guest while gardening - it’s a White-Spotted Sawyer Beetle! 🪲 Not a pest - just helping nature recycle dead trees. Their larvae break down deadwood, returning nutrients to the soil. 000
AnatomyAnagoge @anatomyanagoge.bsky.social · 03/07/2025Spotted a bobcat casually crossing the road during my walk this afternoon. They may look small, but these cats can leap up to 12 feet in a single bound and can take down everything from rabbits to deer fawns when the moment’s right. 010
AnatomyAnagoge @anatomyanagoge.bsky.social · 02/07/2025The only good thing about the dewpoint being outrageously high yesterday was getting a sunset like this. Sky was on fire. 000
AnatomyAnagoge @anatomyanagoge.bsky.social · 26/06/2025A White Spring Moth with a torn wing landed on my window while I was stuck in road construction traffic in Camden, Maine. It rested quietly for a moment, then flew off into the trees. Happy to give it a safe perch for a bit. 010
AnatomyAnagoge @anatomyanagoge.bsky.social · 27/05/2025Watching the clouds catching the last rays of scattered sunlight on my evening walk, tomorrow’s weather should be calm and fair. 030

AnatomyAnagoge @anatomyanagoge.bsky.social · 22/05/2025Spotted these on my trail walk today. Thinking fox or coyote scat? Both packed with undigested fur and rope-like. Any scat experts want to weigh in? 000
AnatomyAnagoge @anatomyanagoge.bsky.social · 20/05/2025Also found this glossy little vine on my walk - looks like poison ivy but it’s Virginia creeper: five leaflets instead of three. Easy to mix up at a glance, but the leaflet count is a key giveaway. 010
AnatomyAnagoge @anatomyanagoge.bsky.social · 20/05/2025Spotted this on my walk - looks like a young raspberry cane to me: compound serrated leaves, reddish stem, soft hairs. Growing wild in partial shade. Can any plant experts confirm? 000
AnatomyAnagoge @anatomyanagoge.bsky.social · 17/05/2025Just a few steps from where I found the owl pellet, I spotted this swollen lump on a stem - turns out it’s a gall, likely caused by the goldenrod gall fly (Eurosta solidaginis). Inside is a single larva, safe and snug until it emerges. Nature’s tiny bunkers! 000

AnatomyAnagoge @anatomyanagoge.bsky.social · 22/04/2025My evening walk, the sky looked like a storm-wrung ocean flipped upside down. Caught this rare asperitas cloud formation just before the weather is expected to shift. Unreal, like the atmosphere was holding its breath. 110

AnatomyAnagoge @anatomyanagoge.bsky.social · 20/04/2025Here’s something to brush up on (yeah bad pun) before your next dentist visit - know your molars from your premolars and your cuspids from your incisors. Tooth #8? That’s your upper right central incisor. Tooth #32? Lower right wisdom tooth. 000
AnatomyAnagoge @anatomyanagoge.bsky.social · 20/04/2025From my walk earlier, these are altocumulus clouds, forming mid-altitude cotton-ball patterns across the sky. They develop when moist air rises and cools, causing water vapor to condense into droplets. Their patchy, wave-like look often signals changing weather - sometimes a warm front on the way. 000
AnatomyAnagoge @anatomyanagoge.bsky.social · 27/03/2025Why polyphalangy and weird spine? AI art doesn’t understand anatomy - it mimics patterns from tons of internet images, learning what "usually goes with what," not structural realism. Hands and feet are small, complex, and often hidden, so the AI just guesses - and like this image, can get it wrong. 000

AnatomyAnagoge @anatomyanagoge.bsky.social · 09/03/2025"And She Had a Heart!" Simonet’s Autopsy (1890) intended to show the spirit of scientific process in examining a young woman (a sex worker). Later, it took on another meaning- that even in this woman from society’s lowest strata, a good heart could be found. Hence, the "surprise" of her heart! 000
