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 · 07/09/2025The star-nosed mole has 22 squishy “tentacles” on its nose,not for smelling, but for touch. It can tap the ground 10+ times per sec, making it the fastest eater in the mammal world (prey gone in ~120 ms!). It’s the first mammal proven to smell underwater by blowing bubbles and sniffing them back in. 181
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 · 29/08/2025I still get mileage out of SpongeBob references, but I’m already starting to see blank stares with Harry Potter. My older colleagues have it worse; nothing stings like watching their Monty Python lines fall flat. 110
AnatomyAnagoge @anatomyanagoge.bsky.social · 31/07/2025Teaching isn’t just a job, it’s a calling. You do it because you believe in your students, not because it makes financial sense. Most people outside education don’t see the training, the time, or the heart it takes. It’s deeply undervalued, but teachers do it anyway. 020
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 · 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 · 04/05/2025That might be it then. If you’re always in zone 3–4, then you’re building stress not endurance…that “gray zone” pace keeps your nervous system wired and can raise resting BP. If you slow down to true zone 2 a few times a week and let your body reset, hopefully you’ll see a difference.endurance.xn--youre-1v3b 110
AnatomyAnagoge @anatomyanagoge.bsky.social · 04/05/2025Can happen if the body isn’t fully recovering between runs. Any changes in your training load or intensity? If so, could be sympathetic overdrive from overtraining…stress system stays active instead of shifting into rest mode on non-running days. Track BP…maybe consider lowering intensity if high. 110
AnatomyAnagoge @anatomyanagoge.bsky.social · 22/04/2025Asperitas clouds form when atmospheric gravity waves disturb a stable cloud layer, sculpting it into waves and folds. They look chaotic, but the turbulence follows hidden rules - an atmospheric rhythm sometimes just before the rain. 010
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 · 20/04/2025From 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 · 20/04/2025Beautiful reminder why teaching matters. You’re not just showing kids the world- you’re giving them the language to see it. Keep doing what you’re doing. The world needs more teachers like you- ones who guide children back to wonder. 010

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
