You're looking at a possible FIRST-EVER iNaturalist record of this delightfully fuzzy moth, scientific name Lindnerica semireducta!

There are up to 8,000 species of katydids in family Tettigoniidae, 255 in North America alone. But this hot pink katydid isn't some exotic species, it's a 'morph', a normal genetic color variant. Here's the weird part: this is the DOMINANT color gene in katydids. (📷: Audubon Zoo)

From Audubon Insectarium article (it's behind a paywall), a vibrantly pink katydid, probably fresh from molting, sitting on broad green leaves.

Wonderful ancient artistry! About 40,000 years ago, this small, graceful horse figurine was carved from mammoth ivory! Imagine the #IceAge artist at work, sitting by the warmth of a fire, creating what is the world’s oldest known figure of a horse! 📷 by me #FindsFriday #Archaeology

Any idea what this bird (spotted at the Humber River in Toronto, Canada) could be? Looked similar to a duck, but with a white chest.

Any suggestions on what to do with all my live animal sketcheroonies from the Toronto Zoo? I plan to keep em coming all year long. Zines are an option, but I’d like to think beyond that/go a lil further into the world of merch. #animalart #zoocomics #comix #fieldnotes #liveobservation #artadvice

Whenever gulls fly close by, assuming I'm not focusing on something else, I'll capture them, because one in every thirty or so will look at me like *I'm the asshole* and I think this is the best yet. 🪶

Not quite as yummy as the buffalo cauliflower bites I had out the other night, but apparently buffalo sauce is just hot sauce + shit tons of butter so for a first attempt, I don’t mind this healthier alternative!

Air fried cauliflower florettes that have been covered in batter, cooked, then cooked again with homemade sauce (spices, Greek yogurt, sriracha).

This is a late Arctic Tern baby, but its parents were diligently feeding it. I hope it matures in time to make the epic trip south. #birds

An Arctic tern parent floats in the air like an avian angel, dangling was looks like a small sculpin into the open mouth of its grey fluffball baby sitting among the rocks in the tidal flats.

Natalie Newman recorded the 1st day of destruction in Big Bend National Park, an unspoiled bit of paradise along the Texas-Mexico border. A site for a rusting monument to our national xenophobia right through 800,000 acres of vibrant desert ecosystem. Clear the javelinas so we can build a wall.

Nature is plenty adorable/hilarious/silly/beautiful without needing to fake anything. There are tons of real photographers here posting great nature stuff every day (like this very wide robin taking a bath.) So you can begin by following people posting their own photos. (2/?)

A brown bird with an orange breast has all its feather poofed out as it’s taking a bath. It’s kind of pyramid shaped and looks very silly.

The purple vampire crab is a tiny (3-5cm) crustacean found in Java, Indonesia. There are many species of vampire crab, named as such for their spooky yellow eyes! 👀

Hello from orange sky Toronto. Thoughts with everyone impacted by the NW Ontario wildfires, particularly the humans & animals whose homes have been destroyed. Spent some time on the Humber River to counteract the dystopic backdrop of the day. #wildlife #canada

Male mallard side view up close in water. Around his head, there is green at the back then some dark and light brown closer to his eye.
