Stalagmite in the cave of aven d'Orgnac. I'm not sure of the official name but it definitely should be: The Snail.

Bloody-nosed beetle (Timarcha tenebricosa). So-called because they exude droplets of so-called nosebleed (but which is their bright red-orange hemolymph coming out of their mouth).

Elodes pseudominuta is one of the species which is more common on #Koltur than expected. We find it during July among mosses in the vicinity of small streams.

Me and @agneskreiling.bsky.social have seen a lot of cool species while on vacation in #Spain: #chamalaeon, #flamingo, #octopus and a huge #robberfly.
It has been a treat visiting @Theresahenke.bsky.social and hear about her work on #bioinvasions.

Seabirds are our compass!🌊
Did you know the largest High Seas Marine Protected Area (MPA) outside Antarctica was identified from seabird tracking data?🌍
The NACES MPA is used by up to five million birds, such as Arctic Tern and Atlantic Puffin.
