As a break from book promotion, please feast your eyes upon this smörgåsbord of Tasmanian 'dragon' springtails! I got the opportunity to visit Hobart at the weekend to go on a dragon hunt... I'll be adding more photos very soon, including fluffy mites & Tasmanian velvet worms! #Macrophotography 🧪📸

Hi #PortfolioDay! I'm tine and I do pixel art and animations! I enjoy drawing paleo art, science art and art for games and #VGen commissions! I always add alt text to my posts and include articles with my paleo/science art posts! #pixelart #ドット絵 #indiedev #gameart #SciArt #paleoart #1bit

Pixel art from the game I did art/animation for, The Monster of the Bayou. There is a bright moon in the grey sky with the slight reflecting on the water below which moves into a shallow area of the land around it, with twisted dark trees, Spanish moss hanging from their boughs, and a large amount of vegetation, moss covered rocks and fallen trees. A water bird, perhaps a crane, is stood on a low, twisted tree, silhouetted against the sky, one yellow eye gleaming.

Pixel art of Garamaudo bauciensis, a freshwater mosasaur species from France, with an elongated reptilian body, wide tail and short limbs. Two are in freshwater, with rocks and plants around them, roots poking down from above, and light creating patterns over the sediment. One is facing towards the surface, mouth open, and the other is twisted, moving lower in the water.

Pixel art of Dunkleosteus terrelli, the ancient armored fish, swimming through the water, above the sediment and rocks which have light patterns on them. It has a shorter body and tail, armor plates on the face and head, and armored mouth parts, all with the light patterns playing over its body.

Pixel art of three Vespersaurus paranaensis, small bipedal Noasaurinae dinosaurs with long tails and which may have walked on only one toe, which are traveling across the region of Brazil which was once desert. There are many rocks around them as they walk over the sand and mountains in the hazy distance, with a large sun overhead.

Honey bee stingers contain two tiny self-powered venom pumps that can keep injecting even after being ripped from the insect's body. These pumps move in opposite rhythm inside the stinger to push venom forward while limiting backflow! 🧪 www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

The current El Niño is likely to be the largest in at least 1,000 years and will pile extra heat into an atmosphere in which temperatures are already rising rapidly due to human-caused global heating. This double whammy means 2027 is expected to become the hottest year ever recorded.
