I like how people are making jokes about platypuses being classed as ‘women’ as a Diogenesian response to that One Author’s transphobic drivel, but. I’m pretty sure the image they keep using is a/ i. Or at least a render of some kind. Guys can we not feed the Incorrect Animal issues on the internet

I like recording quotes from books I read, especially if they’re moving or a fact I want to remember. This one though, it gut punches me every time I open my quotes page in my notebook. The tragedy of begging people to care about an animal that seems so insignificant, but means the world to you.

Velvet ribbon worm🎀

Two smiling velvet worms on a pastel pink background. Long velvet ribbons are wrapped around their bodies. There are hearts and ribbon drawings on the background. Lovely atmosphere.

I love that Poduromorpha are called “plump” springtails. It’s perfect. Just look at this ridiculous little animal. What is going on here. #Collembola #Invert #macrophotography 🪲🪳 🌿

Extreme close-up of a Poduromorpha springtail sitting on rough, broken bark. The springtail is small, dark bluish gray, and absolutely covered in clusters of stiff, pale spines that make it look more like a weird burr than a bug. Its body is fat and squat, with stubby legs and antennae barely visible beneath the bumpy, armored surface. The lighting brings out every texture: bark fibers, spines, and tiny glints on the springtail’s surface. The background fades into a soft green blur, giving full attention to the strange, spiky little creature.

A couple of my favourite invert photos from Sri Lanka! Check out all my photos here clumsyvelvetworms.tumblr.com/tagged/sri%2... - I still have to finish uploading them so my blog doesn't have all of them yet but they are queued!! 💖🇱🇰

A bright red net-winged beetle with black legs, antennae and a black patch on the top of the thorax, perched on a white bumpy wall. Lycostomis similis

An Amblypigid (arachnid) sitting on a mud wall. There is a small sprig of green plant in front of it. Possibly a Phrynichus sp.

A small colourful crab held by my hand. He has bright orange claws, pale purple legs, pale green eyes and a mottled carapace. Male. Species ID unconfirmed at this stage.

Close-up of a true katydid, likely from the Tribe Leptotettigini, although ID is unconfirmed. She is looking at the camera, perched on a stick.

Deepsea angler fish are famous for their fearsome appearance, but they pose no real threat to humans. Some are larger, but they are usually small, less than 10 inches long. The males are much smaller and parasitic on the females.

Introducing New Zealand's latest Bug of the Year- the magnificent Ngāokeoke / Velvet Worm! NZ has two genera: one lays eggs (Ooperipatellus, 1st photo) and another gives live birth (Peripatoides, 2nd). They also deposit sperm which burrow through their partner's skin, but that's another story! 🧪

A photograph of a velvet worm - an orange and purple-patterned invertebrate composed of many soft segments and tiny spined legs. The velvet worm has long, segmented antenna and a pair of organs on its head which squirt glue for prey capture.

An alpine subspecies of Killamoth; huge, intelligent predators from the world of #Amphibia. Their social structures show sophisticated intra-specific communication and co-operation, extending in one documented case into a alliance with their usual prey among the coastal subspecies!

Summer is such a sad time of year as a naturalist in Australia. The Gariwerd/Grampians and the Gurdies are both on fire at the moment - Gariwerd is such a special place ecologically, I’m devastated.. Hopefully they can reign the fire in asap

I might actually create a second account for fantasy art stuff. Wasn't going to split accounts like that but I think I'd rather keep this as science and sci-art oriented so that fantasy stuff isn't burying science posts in my feed and vice-versa. Expect follows from another account soonish probs

Also started my new internship and I'm having SO much fun, it's an incredible company I've landed in and I'm so grateful that I was picked :') Have some bugs from my second day!

Jovial Jumping Spider (Apricia jovialis) on car door leather.

Tortoise Beetle (Paropsis sp.) on the palm of my hand. Largest Paropsis I've seen yet!

Moth larva, no idea on species lol. I looked down in the work car and it was crawling across my arm.

Did somebody say a TRAIN of DRAGONS?!!! Thanks for the tag Ali ily, I'm not sure if I've anyone left to tag but if you see this and want to do it here's your chance!!

A drawing of a large bright orange dragon. Her head is to the centre-right and she has a scowl, one eye closed and a burn on the left side of her face.

A sketch of a dragon with her back to the viewer but her face turned toward the left. Her mouth is open and a dark tear is falling from her left eye while her right eye has been replaced with a flower.

A bright purple dragon is standing facing right. His wings are outstretched and he's looking up to the right with a calm smile on his face. On his chest and wings are cyan-coloured diamonds.

Glory from the Wings of Fire book series - a bright purple dragon with accents of pink, blue, green and yellow. She is facing to the left with a proud smile on her face. There is a small crown icon above her head signifying royalty.

Begging society to normalise knowledge on copyright and etiquette in regards to using artwork. Like forgetting about the ai slop, I see so many women in local pages who buy a mug/bottle press and suddenly they make hundreds of them with stolen artworks to sell online and art markets...

I made a Tumblr for all my nature photos 👀 Thought it would be the best way to find specific photos/species I've found! I'll sporadically update with all the backlog so photos won't necessarily be chronological for now. clumsyvelvetworms.tumblr.com
