Did someone say it's #mothmonday? How about N. America's largest species, Hyalophora cecropia or Cecropia moth. Click the photo for full view. This is a living specimen.

This is a female and they are enormous. #insect #bugsky #invert #macro #macrophotography #sciart #nature #wildlife #photography

I feel like there are enough moths in the world to open a portal to a completely different dimension. Just staggering amounts of moths.

Can't believe y'all on this app wilding and still saying "skeet" where people's grandmas look for pretty bird pics.

To piggyback on Dex's ask, I've already made a starter pack for Black Birders and naturalists go.bsky.app/5NcW6D3

Hit me up if you want to be included - we've gotta find our flock here as best we can!
Are there any Black and Brown folks on this app that enjoy nature and birds? I’m really struggling to find ya’ll on here. Algorithm, please HELP! 🙏🏾

Can I just pretend RNAseq data from 50 samples didn't roll in on a Friday afternoon and say I didn't get the data until Monday morning?

PR rice and beans and tamales cooked up and eaten. Xmas Eve family traditions live on.

Dawn is breaking soon on our urban OKC #CBC this morning. What will our first bird be?

I miss you LRGV. My visit was much too short and didn't involve nearly enough tamales.

American Avocets on Bolivar Peninsula this past April.
We actually saw a ton of them floating (not wading) in the bay too. First time I had seen that behavior.

Chased Long-tailed Jaeger in Oklahoma yesterday and all I got was a bloody ankle from a stick.
