I'm about to start knitting the 94th row of a birds of prey scarf for my new niece 😁🦅 #knittedscarf #doubleknitting #birdsofprey #birding #birds #birdart #morikei

94 rows of a double knitted scarf depicting a merlin, barn owl, and peregrine falcon with colors consisting of mint green and forest green. The backdrop of the scarf is a cement porch with large open green lawn and pasture.

I tried carving my own block print for the first time ever and I feel like it turned out decent 😁 #print #blockprint #shrike

There are two swift foxes. One is standing on all fours in front of a grid to show the dimensions of the average swift fox. The other swift fox is sitting on a scale to show the average weight of a swift fox. Text over head reads "Swift Fox Measurements"

My Pollinator Partnership 2026 annual poster contest sketch so far 😁🐛🦋 #art #pollinators #lepidoptera #insectart #poster

In the top left corner is the title which reads "Life on a Leaf: Caterpillars and Host Plants." On the left side of the poster is a sketch of an Eastern Cottonwood with an American hornet moth resting on the trunk. Directly above the moth is a close up sketch of its caterpillar stage. To the right of the caterpillar is a sketch of a swamp milkweed. To the right of the milkweed is a sketch of a Texas Live Oak branch.

This year's Pollinator Partnership annual poster contest theme just got released! It's caterpillars and their host plants! Here's the list of lepidoptera species I've chosen to include so far. Feel free to comment suggestions!

Using ourselves as a frame of reference for other organisms is logical. Thinking humans are the exception in studies on organism behavior is illogical when everything else about our bodies shows we are more similar than different to life on earth.

Mori Motmot @sorascribbles.bsky.social · 04/11/2025

I know that Jane Goodall really first introduced parts of this idea into her research on chimpanzees, but I think it needs to be expanded to include much more than we currently do. Like some people are still extremely skeptical of the study that showed play behavior in bumblebees.

Mori Motmot @sorascribbles.bsky.social · 04/11/2025

So if we take what we know about human behavior and cognition (which again we are animals) and apply it to other animals exhibiting those same things, wouldn't that give us better insight into their world than assuming their experience is nothing like our own?

Mori Motmot @sorascribbles.bsky.social · 04/11/2025

So humans are animals. It is very accepted that hands and paws are the same structure just slightly different in development. Why don't we treat behavior and cognition in the same way? As a feature of an organism that can be modified and passed down from generation to generation.

Mori Motmot @sorascribbles.bsky.social · 04/11/2025

Today's science hot take: I'm starting to think that the rule in animal behavior studies that we shouldn't anthropomorphize the organisms we're studying is the exact opposite of what we should be doing and is actually hindering scientific breakthroughs in animal behavior. #biology Let me explain👇
