I had always been scared of ticks. Fearing I’d get a nasty little bite & not notice until I get mysteriously sick… 🎉 Well, this is no longer a fear I have! 🎉 A rash the size of a growing supernova is hard to miss. F*ck those guys. *I can’t believe the tropics didn’t get me but the Alps did…

The doomscrolling journey is long and full of terrors. Here, have a stream-dwelling torrent toad (Ghatophryne ornata) and a (land+tree)-dwelling snail (Indrella ampulla). Both brightly coloured, and I don't think anybody knows why! Both are endemic to the western ghat rainforests of southern India.

Picture of Ghatophryne ornata, a torrent toad endemic to the central western ghats rainforests in India. The genus Ghatophryne consists of two species, both endemic to the ghats.
