Animal of the Day!

Turquoise-browed Motmot (Eumomota superciliosa)

(Photo by Andrew Spencer)

Conservation Status- Least Concern

Habitat- Central America

Size (Weight/Length)- 65 g; 30 cm

Diet- Insects; Small reptiles; Fruits

Cool Facts- The turquoise-browed motmot is the king of insect hawking. They stake a claim in scrubland around farms and freeways, finding a cozy spot on a fence. Using sharp eyesight, they target flying insects and pluck them from the air with their long beak. Despite most birds having feather display differences based on sex, the long tail the motmot sports is found in both males and females. When a motmot sees a predator, they wave their tail like a pendulum to alert the rest of their flock to the threat. Females favor males with longer tails in the hope that her own offspring will have the brilliant plumage to ward off threats. The turquoise-browed motmot is a popular sight for locals as they eat insects dangerous to crop yields and have a croaking call that can alert farmers of predators stalking their herds.

Rating- 13/10 (A bird of many names.)

In 2022: My Chemical Romance performed their fourth show of the 2022-2023 Swarm tour in Milton Keynes, England. Gerard Way wore a T-shirt airbrushed with a unicorn and the name “Lindsey”, and there were two tally marks written on the drums. (🖤)

Watch the show here!

Animal of the Day!

Orchid Mantis (Hymenopus coronatus)

(Photo by Linda Castleson)

Conservation Status- Unlisted

Habitat- Southeast Asia

Size (Weight/Length)- 5 cm

Diet- Insects

Cool Facts- Like all mantis species, the orchid mantis relies on camoflage and extreme to speed to be a top predator of the insect world. Their body is similar to flowers from the straits rhododendron, a plant that they spend the majority of their lives hiding on. They then wait for hours until an insect, usually a pollinating fly or bee, where they are able to strike the insect with their front legs faster than the blink of a human eye. Often eating their prey head first to prevent the insect possibly escaping or injuring the orchid mantis. 

Rating- 13/10 (A beautiful killer.)
