Want to conserve #birds, #mammals and other vertebrates? Then don’t forget their #insects. Our new Nature Reviews Biodiversity paper explores the many ways vertebrates depend on insects — for food, shelter, protection and much more. I’ve written about it here: jeffollerton.co.uk/2026/09/30/w...

Want to conserve birds and mammals? Then conserve their insects – our new paper in Nature Reviews Biodiversity sets out the details

It’s sometimes easy to forget quite how much of the living world depends upon insects. That might seem an odd thing for someone who has spent much of his career studying insects and their relations…

#SaveTheAcademy Our position in regard to the resolution about the Academy of Natural Sciences, Philadelphia. This issue deeply affects our community, with many members having visited or worked closely with the academy over the years. We stand with @savetheacademy.bsky.social

The Entomological Collections Network is a society dedicated to uplifting natural history collections around the globe. We are deeply affected by the sudden announcement to close the Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University Museum, which is the oldest natural history museum in all the Americas. We stand behind the critical importance of not only safeguarding research collections for scientific use but also making outreach and educational displays that are available to all. At its core, a museum is a bridge to the community connection with the collections. And this connection is perhaps more important now than ever because of the continual threats to biodiversity around the globe and rising documented disconnect between the public and nature. It is through this institution and so many like it that we all can spark wonder and cultivate joy in the natural world, for an untold number of people of all ages and walks of life.

Shuttering a museum that provides a tangible connection to the natural world sends a shocking statement about what priorities are being set with regards to education and caring for the community in which we live. Although Drexel has expressed its intention to retain the research collection, it has presented no plan for the monumental task of safely moving their more than 19 million specimens and establishing a suitable facility to house it. As a Society we urge the City of Philadelphia, State of Pennsylvania, and Drexel University to do what is best for the Academy of Natural Sciences’ collections, research, and public museum by exploring any creative avenue to ensure that this center of education and exploration can continue to inspire for generations.

quote with your bird art!!!! i dont think ive posted these here before. these are all birds from the lindsay wildlife experience in California! go visit them!!

a white-tailed kite (elanus leucurus) named Dragon, with white plumage, amber eyes and grey-to-black wings looks determined, while a thought bubble emerging from her head shows a green cartoon dragon breathing fire. the word "DRAGON!" can be seen written vertically on the left

a portrait of a turkey vulture (cathartes aura). this is Lord Richard, the oldest turkey vulture in California. his red head emerges from a torso of black feathers. he is adorned with a small pair of glasses atop his nostrils.

Topaz, the golden eagle (aquila chrysateos), is painted with blotches and small strokes of brown, gold and yellow, and she has a surprised expression looking towards us. the word "WOW!!" can be read above her.

Valkyrie, the Swainson's Hawk (buteo swainsoni), is adorned with a pointy, triangular white hat that has the word "DUNCE" written vertically in red. Valkyrie looks quizzically at the viewer, and her plumage is white and brown. the background is full of simple mathematical equations.

Photo of three small paintings laid out together on a wood desk with the detail brush used to paint them. The left most painting is of a belted kingfisher perched on a dead tree branch against a misty blue-gray background; the middle painting is of a least bittern gripping a plant stem and looking upwards against a golden background; the right most painting is of two great egrets in breeding plumage standing the top of a tree against a stormy looking background.

Kingfisher 🪶 🐡

Photo of a small painting being held by a hand for scale with a small paintbrush visible resting on the table behind it. The painting is of a female belted kingfisher, a dark blue and white bird with a long pointed beak evolved for catching fish. This bird has the belt of orange-red feathers which gives it its name and indicates it's a female. The painting is soft and a little dreamy with an out of focus grey-blue background.

The Pesadiellu is one of many frightening beings said to cause nightmares. This creature is said to press down on its victims chest, suffocating them in their sleep.

A man sleeps while a strange creature floats atop him, pressing his hands deep into the mans chest. The creature has a human skull for a head, rows of horns down its back, monkeys feet, and wears a flower crown. Surrounding the creature are small ghosts, fairies playing bagpipes (specifically the Gaita Asturiana), little winged serpents (Cuelebre), and sea bunnies. The image is captioned: "The pesadiellu stood atop its victim and pressed 'til their breath was gone"

I don’t draw something just once and endlessly try to perfect it. I draw it many times, messily, to let myself discover which version I like best. Then I refine one version later. Less tension, less expectations, more drawing.

Night eyes 😎 Finally got proper pictures of this amazing phenomenon! Mantises change their eye color (and light sensitivity) at night by transporting pigments from the surface of each compound eye unit toward the deeper eye region. Same female Tenodera sinensis, two different times. #bugsky

I liked the art of a small indie game I played so I contacted the game's artist and asked if I could commission them and they wanted to do it for free as a thank you for enjoying the game When I said I wanted to pay the quote they gave me was 10 bucks and I had to convince them to let me pay more

“-the creatures known as “overpassers”, due to their preferred feeding ground, are actually an unknown form of gigantic flatworm - They can grow to immense size depending on the structure they decide to use as a home, and are mostly known as a dangerous and disgusting nuisance.
