Putting final touches on a 400 species list for a book I'm writing about ants, for the general public, worldwide coverage.

I welcome suggestions for species I should include. Whittling 15,000 species down to only a few hundred is harder than it looks, because of course it should have ALL THE ANTS.

Most Ichneumonid wasps (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) are parasitoids that lay their eggs inside other insects. The larvae hatch and slowly eat their hosts alive. Eventually the larvae burst out of their hosts, killing them. Many species are very useful for pest control. Palmyra Michigan, 13 May 2016.

What looks like a simple piggyback ride is actually a purposeful mating ritual in the greenhouse millipede 🐛💕

The male climbs onto the female and uses his specialized gonopod legs to clasp her securely in place 🔐🦵This helps him stay steady and make sure the sperm transfer is right on target 🎯

For #FossilFriday & in honor of @alinemghilardi.bsky.social & colleagues' fantastic discovery of a new Cretaceous pterosaur in Brazil in a dinosaur regurgitalite ("fossil vomit"), here's a diagram I made for my book 'Dinosaurs Without Bones' (2014) showing the physics of a puking brachiosaur. 🧪🦕🤮🪨

Q: Why are Bugs so silly?

A: Because they don't have a serious bone in their body

Anyway here's Apache degeeri, a silly derbid planthopper

I picked up my camera bag after taking some photos of mushrooms and discovered that an ensatina (a kind of lungless salamander) had crawled under the bag!

It's the opposite of "the one that got away".

Woodhaven Swamp, Belcarra, BC.

Lots of folks captioning aurora photos like "for a few minutes we didn't think about politics"

guess I'm built different, every time I'm out trying to see night sky stuff I frequently think about how much light pollution is entirely preventable with just a tiny bit of regulation
