1½ minutes worth of Brown Creeper lad, creeping 🥹

I'd seen a grand total of one (1) adult male Attidops cinctipes before this afternoon, in which I lost count at a dozen 🤎

let me share a little story about a remarkable wasp that I encountered yesterday in our local deserts

I stumbled across her, and scrambled to get a few crappy photos .... but then realized that she had a burrow, perhaps a better photo op was possible ??

here she is at her burrow entrance.

!. Look at this astonishing animal. My velvet worm friend lives on moss in the rainforest. He is ANCIENT. WAY older than dinosaurs, lobopods like him even make an appearance in the Cambrian- when multicellular life became trendy.

You can find him today on a tree at Wildsumaco, in Ecuador :)

Wonderful weevils and mimic on @bsky.app
Part II, Pachyrhynchus moniliferus, from The Philippines. Another colour variation. Striking patterns warn for posion. Found in old stable ecosystems. Hence much more vulnerable to deforestation and habitat fragmentation. #natureprotection #coleoptera #beetle

Lady Red-bellied Woodpecker on a wintry day. It's interesting being able to see those pointy tail feathers. The feathers, along with a strong lower back, help prop up the woodpecker while it is clinging and moving vertically on the side of a tree.

Psst: carcinization is not inevitable!

R is for Raninoides, one of the best examples of DEcarcinization. It's a true crab, but its body is elongated and the abdomen sticks out. The wrench and spadelike appendages, and torpedolike body, are good for burrowing (see video, next skeet)

I think my best macro photography was with the Canon MP-E 65mm lens. Look at the glorious detail in this shot. It makes me want to bust that lens out of retirement.

Jumping #spiders are my favourites! Look at this one from #ManaDulce in #Colombia. I think it belongs to the genus #Ceriomura.
