Jan and Catherina van Hemessen collaborated on the wildly magnificent Tendilla Retable. Lotsa drama! It’s their shared father-daughter day.

An unfortunate common name for an adorable little insect, bathroom moth flies, or Clogmia albipunctata, can be found near drains. Adults are poor flyers and often seen sitting on walls. Larvae live in aquatic environments and play an important role breaking down organic matter. #365species #insects

Harvestmen, or Daddy longlegs, are arachnids, but not true spiders. They do not spin webs, produce venom or bother people. They are omnivores that eat insects, fungi, even decaying matter. There are nearly 6,000 species of harvestmen throughout the world. #arachnids #365species #biodiversity

Mother deer often leave their fawns briefly to find places to forage. Young may be left curled up hidden in grass or they may explore nearby. Assuming it looks healthy, is not wandering aimlessly and is not alone for 24 hours, it should be fine. If not, call a wildlife expert for advice. #deer #fawn

Shortfin Mako (Isurus oxyrinchus) in a different way. I used an X-Acto to remove the background and add a Pantone paper ombre. Much more striking than the original background. What do you think?

Eastern painted turtles are found in ponds and slow moving fresh water with emergent vegetation. As cold blooded reptiles, they are frequently seen on rocks and logs basking in the sun. They eat algae, aquatic plants and invertebrates. They live 20-40 years. #365species #turtles #nature #reptiles

Found throughout North America, variegated June beetles have ivory or tan markings on their maroon shells that make them look worn. They have club shaped antennae that they can fan out. Males have longer antennae with seven teeth. Adults are attracted to light and eat leaves. #insects #365species

Asiatic garden beetles were introduced to North America in the 1920's and are native to Japan, China and Russia. They hide during the day and feast on plants at night. Despite their small size they can chew lots more holes in plants than larger scarab beetles. #365species #insects #bugs #beetles

One of the lesser-celebrated sharks is the Salmon Shark (Lamna ditropis) found in the northern Pacific ocean. 🦈🤙

Eastern pondhawk dragonflies are aggressive hunters. Like all dragonflies, they start life in fresh, calm bodies of water. Nymphs leave the water for a final molt when they emerge with wings. Native to Eastern North and Central America, males turn blue and females remain green. #365species #insects

Common grackles are found in N. America east of the Rockies in woodlands, marshes, suburbs, parks, and fields. They are omnivores that feed on insects, seeds, grains, fish. They have pale yellowish eyes, long tails and purple, green, or blue iridescent heads. #biodiversity #365species #nature #birds

Even the smallest sea creatures help keep our ocean in balance, and every small action we can take to protect it matters, too.

So my girlfriend is an amazing stop motion animator, and she recently did a medieval cat themed bumper for Adult Swim!
Sharing it here because she only has Instagram and I think everyone needs to see her animations. She's so freaking talented, y'alls. PLEASE go follow her!
