Dr. Kara M. Million @darterdancer.bsky.social · 24/09/2026C'mon little buddy, you're almost done! Everything about being a monarch caterpillar looks so stressful. 😓 040
Dr. Kara M. Million @darterdancer.bsky.social · 23/09/2026The size difference!! 😂 Don't let that baby fool you, though. It keeps up with big brother just fine! 170
Dr. Kara M. Million @darterdancer.bsky.social · 19/09/2026American beautyberry is looking good! Come and get it, critters!! 170
Dr. Kara M. Million @darterdancer.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Wait, it's already time?! It went by so quickly! Good luck, little buddy!! 160
Dr. Kara M. Million @darterdancer.bsky.social · 15/09/2026This day-old monarch caterpillar baby is smaller than a grain of rice (provided for scale). Oh my heart. 6-year-old me would be losing her tiny little mind. 090

Dr. Kara M. Million @darterdancer.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Creek Critter Challenge Complete! UNA partnered with Muscle Shoals National Heritage Area to host a community stream macroinvertebrate survey in Cypress Creek! The habitat looks great, and we saw lots of cool critters! Another good day for community science! 161
Dr. Kara M. Million @darterdancer.bsky.social · 10/09/2026I think I need to foster a few of them this year though. The tachinid parasites were brutal last year. But between the baby monarchs and the baby milkweed beetles I'm dying of cuteness. 😭 050
Dr. Kara M. Million @darterdancer.bsky.social · 10/09/2026YEEEEEEEEEEES THEY'RE HERE THEY'RE HERE THE BABY MONARCHS ARE FINALLY HERE 1142
Dr. Kara M. Million @darterdancer.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Really? I planted you two years ago and you didn't do squat, and now you're popping up out of nowhere like it's no big deal??? EXCUSE ME (cardinal flower) 020
Dr. Kara M. Million @darterdancer.bsky.social · 03/09/2026These have mysteriously appeared on my office door. There are others randomly placed in nooks and crannies around the biology building, but only my door has been marked like this. I think Gen Z is trying to communicate with me. 😶 190
Dr. Kara M. Million @darterdancer.bsky.social · 31/08/2026And here is a cat and another dog! Hee hee! 💀 021
Dr. Kara M. Million @darterdancer.bsky.social · 31/08/2026I have finally started my collection of comically inaccurate Halloween skeleton decorations. I think I'm off to a strong start with these yard sale finds. 😆🎃💀 140
Dr. Kara M. Million @darterdancer.bsky.social · 24/08/2026Stardew Valley Cookbook page 161: Eggplant Parmesan. This one's definitely a winner. The eggplant was fresh out of our raised beds, too. 060
Dr. Kara M. Million @darterdancer.bsky.social · 22/08/2026Aww, a cute little milkweed beetle. That's a new one for me. 160
Dr. Kara M. Million @darterdancer.bsky.social · 17/08/2026Out here looking like a snacc, while she's looking for a snack. Steel blue cricket hunter wasp. Good to see you, queen. 070
Dr. Kara M. Million @darterdancer.bsky.social · 14/08/2026CW: snake Big sleepy yawn!! Clementine must be dreaming of tasty mice. 081
Dr. Kara M. Million @darterdancer.bsky.social · 08/08/2026I was supposed to be collecting these tiny squid. My hand was resting against the side of the bucket and I felt something cold slapping my hand! I looked down and a tiny little guy had clambered up the side of the bucket, maneuvered over to my hand, and was using his fins to smack it. Bap-bap-bap!🦑♥️ 0123
Dr. Kara M. Million @darterdancer.bsky.social · 07/08/2026May I offer you a crab in these trying times? (Purse crab and decorator crab) 171

Dr. Kara M. Million @darterdancer.bsky.social · 07/08/2026Sometimes even freshwater biologists gotta go to the sea lab and get on a boat. Dauphin Island is great! 030
Dr. Kara M. Million @darterdancer.bsky.social · 02/08/2026I've been trying to get Gabe to learn chicken noises for two years, and the ONLY way he will do it is to the tune of the Robot Chicken end credits song (a show he is NOT allowed to watch, btw)😑🐔 191
Dr. Kara M. Million @darterdancer.bsky.social · 01/08/2026The Mississippi kites are back this year! I wonder where they decided to nest this time? They love my neighborhood; guess they think it's a great place to raise kids. 040
Dr. Kara M. Million @darterdancer.bsky.social · 30/07/2026Watch out, baby bun. I saw the whole parliament on the hunt tonight, and they're hungry. Be cunning and full of tricks. 030
Dr. Kara M. Million @darterdancer.bsky.social · 29/07/2026Apparently my husband heard me talk about a children's book I read growing up about a frog who forgot his underwear, and he tried to track down the book to surprise me and somehow accidentally ended up getting ANOTHER, DIFFERENT BOOK about a frog who loses his underwear and 😂😂😂 030
