Not a question, but I need someone buggy to appreciate this with me. I just learned about the Iridescent Leaf-beetle Jumping Spider from browsing iNat. They're so pretty...

They’re very pretty! And extremely adorable. Here’s one for everyone to admire...

BOTD: Red-legged Honeycreeper

Photo: Aaron Maizlish

"Small, warbler-like tanager of tropical lowlands. Favors forest edge, woodland, and semi-open areas with taller trees. Often occurs in small groups, sometimes larger flocks, usually in the canopy of flowering trees, where it probes for nectar with its long bill. Red legs are bright on male, dullest on young birds. Male is blue in breeding plumage, with a turquoise cap; female and non-breeding male are greenish overall with faint streaking on the chest. In flight, the underside of the wings flash bright sulphur-yellow."

Hide Beetle

they are key decomposers as they eat flesh from dead animals, and are really useful in cleaning specimens for taxidermy. also i think they're just cute. i love their little white specks

Questo adorabile scricciolo azzurro superbo (Malurus cyaneus) ha un record di tradimenti davvero incredibile. È infatti socialmente monogamo, ma sessualmente molto molto promiscuo. Tanto che il 95% dei nidi contengono uova fecondate fuori dalla coppia. Un maschio con tanto testosterone da non riuscire ad essere fedele, ma senza alcun problema a mantenere stabile la coppia, e una femmina che ci tiene a garantire una certa variabilità genetica alla propria prole. E il fatto che sembri un dato così particolarmente… “degno di nota” racconta molto più sulla nostra specie che su quella che, alla fine, è solo una delle tante e variegate strategie riproduttive che si possono trovare in natura.
