#birds#townsend's solitaire#photography#finally killed my WHITE WHALE it's insanely hard for me to get a decent pic of a townsend's solitaire for some reason#they like to sit up in the canopy where i can't get a good angle and my zoom doesn't reach that far

The Among Us Worm (Amogus imposteri) is a newly discovered marine polychaete worm in the Nereididae family described in Bromander et al., 2021. Amogus was found near hydrothermal vents, and is most likely a carnivore. The unusual blue coloring of the worm's parastomium is distinctive, but serves an unknown purpose; scientists hypothesize it functions to deter predators.
