I encountered a Black Slug Hunter on a landing stage in southern Sweden. Phosphuga atrata is a carrion beetle (Silphinae) from the family Staphylinidae. This species prefers moist habitats & is not uncommon in Germany. I also found it several times while working on my bachelor's thesis in Hamburg.

How beautiful can a branch be?
The branch in Sweden: YES!

I spent the saturday sorting and identifying rove beetles I collected last summer for my bachelor thesis, which I'm going to write this year. The thesis is going to be about the #Staphylinidae diversity in a local nature reserve and I can't wait to go there again! I'm definitely ready for spring.

Because I have no words for the political disaster in Germany today, here are some lichens I saw in Sweden last year

That somehow reminds me of this little treasure which was published in Frontiers last year
AI generated picture of a rat cut open with an organ what seems to be giant testicles next to three smaller pictures showing different cell samples. Different parts of the pictures have descriptions like “Rat”, “Testtomcels” or “Dissiliced”

Für immer Moosliebe 💚 Habe diesen Mooshügel im Wald letztes Jahr in Schweden gesehen und hätte mich am liebsten für Stunden darein gelegt. Hach 🥰
