Hey, I wanted to share this with you: polluters and their political allies are quietly weakening laws that protect our drinking water, nature, and health. It's affecting all 450 million of us in Europe. Only takes a minute to sign if you're interested. #HandsOffNature www.wwf.eu/campaigns/ha...

This is Ochrolechia tartarea. Common #lichen on stone in British uplands. Unusual flesh-coloured apothecia that look like pork crackling. In #Scotland it was once used to make traditional 'cudbear' dye. Astounding that it can yield such vivid pinks and purples! This specimen from Sandoy, #Faroes.

South America is BIG by @amazingmap

A striking map of the world where countries are reimagined and seamlessly integrated into the continent of South America. Major nations like the United States, Japan, and the United Kingdom are incorporated into the existing landmass, creating a unique and thought-provoking vision of global geography.

At least two, but I think three, #Cladonia species in the foreground and Peltigera hymenina in the background. #Lichen

Pale green lichens in the foreground surrounded by bright green mosses and liverworts and a few more scattered pale green lichens. A dark coloured lichen in the background with reddish brown apothecia which are held upright. Scattered brown leaves also.

The same picture except the dark lichen in the background is in focus.

Day 5 #BatMas: Pied butterfly bat (Glauconycteris superba) 🦇🌎🧪 This bat is very rare! It’s been captured a few of times, but after the 5th time, the species was put in the genus ‘Niumbaha’, named after the Zande word for ‘rare’. However, it is now part of the genus ‘Glauconycteris’ 📸: Jacob Fahr

For #BlueSkyArtShow #small is relative. Small lichen surrounded by moss, with a teeny, tiny invertebrate on the lower left of the picture. I think it’s a springtail.

Pale green lichen with black apothecia growing on rock that has a rusty colour and surrounded by moss which is green and purple at the top of the picture and purple coloured to the bottom left of the picture. A tiny grey invertebrate is on the bottom left of the lichen between the bottom two black apothecia and the purple moss.
