Anand is the best (and I'm doing an event with him at, yes, @cityartssf.bsky.social Thursday, for his new book Man in the Mirror). Couldn't agree more that cities are refuges or places of last resort for people kicked out of rural/suburban/pseudo-idyllic America.

This is a very special moth found in the Amazon basin. Smicropus longalis (according to iNat experts). I'm not sure if much is known about this species. Mitú, Vaupes, Colombia #moths #bugsky #invertebrates 🌿 #moth 🪲

A bright yellow butterfly resting on damp, pebbly ground. Its wings are boldly bordered in black, with delicate veins running through the yellow center.

Brand new gulf fritillary, fresh out of the chrysalis!

A brown, orange, and white butterfly clings to some concrete next to its empty chrysalis. It seems about dry and ready to fly for the first time!

Happy #MothMonday/#MacroMonday friends! this is a Southern Pink-striped Oakworm #Moth, Anisota pellucida from a few Summers back. #MacroPhotography #insects #nature #awe and #wonder #reflections

A photo of an orange moth from the front as it rests on a round, reflective lamp post. the moth's legs, head, and body are covered in bright orange fuzzy hair-like scales. the wings which are a bit darker with a white spot on each near the leading edge, are tented over the lamp pole. The moth's reflection is distorted by the curved surface of the lamp pole

It is a late instar larva of Antheraea polyphemus.

This is, without a doubt, the coolest fucking thing I've ever made. In decent conditions this will bloom for at least a hundred generations. My first Copper and Steel orchid. I've been thinking about this for years. Goddamn. Hyped. Share this shit if you feel it. #art #artsky #artist #metalworking

Eight years ago today 🌿 Cucurbita foetidissima, our Buffalo Gourd, at Heil Valley Ranch #nativeplants. Another common name is Stinking Gourd. Touching the leaves will stink up your hand so if in doubt about the ID before flowers and fruit you can always verify ID. The smelliest plant in Colorado! 🤪

Viney plant with large gray green leaves creeping across dried grass

The gecko's tail is hidden under some of the siding, its body is mostly tan with white and black spots throughout and it has golden eyes.

Taracus carmanah!!! Known only from its type localities and specimens. Somehow we found one individual during a bioblitz last weekend. These are the first photos of a live individual, and is the first individual seen alive! Still buzzing from this find. #arachtober #harvestmen #opiliones

The male and female Dark-tipped Forest-Skimmer (Cratilla metallica) spotted at Thomson Nature Park, Singapore on 4 Oct 2026. Always a delight to spot these lovely forest dependent dragonflies. #iNaturalist #Nature #Photography #Singapore #Insects #Dragonflies #Odonata

A top view of a medium-sized dragonfly perched on a branch. It has a dark blue body, a dark blue tail, with two light blue stripes on the abdomen next to the body. The wings are transparent except for the dark tips. It has reddish eyes. There is a bright yellow stripe running down the back.

So the Amazon Prime Day scam is nearly upon us. As I did for last PD, I notice a lot of items are jumping in price, only for them to lower it for PD to make it look like a special. 😑

I’m looking at you Genus Trosia, maybe T. incostata, male.

A moth looking over the edge of a leaf. The face is red. The eyes, legs, and antennae are black. The antennae look like combs. The thorax is striped white and red.

I happened to pick up this moth off the canvas by the lights with an almost perfectly matched leaf. Eois 🌱🌿

I cannot wait until it is "duvet weather" here so we can all be snuggled under it. Though with some of our furry furnaces (Furrnaces?!) it can quickly get over warm 🤪

Happy #Caturday friends! Today i have a simple lesson on how to catch a cat. 1. Get a bucket and place it in an environment with cats. 2. SUCCESS! 😂

Good morning friends! Last night was not the most diverse night of #BugLight observations, but I did find this gorgeous Wolf Spider (Hogna lenta I think) hanging out in our sandy yard (it's not called the SC Sand Hills for nothing 😂) #Arachtober #MacroPhotography #Nature #Awe and #Wonder

A photo of a large tan and black wolf spider from above as it rests on the sand of my yard. The spider's legs are tan and have slender black spine-like hairs. the prosoma, the forebody, is tan in the middle with black around the sides. The opisthosoma is mostly tan with some darker mottling around the front part.
