Every time this video comes up again i watch it like 10 times. it's like medicine for the soul somehow.

If I had written about Devils Hole pupfish (Cyprinodon diabolis) as a fictional alien species, people would find the resulting fiction too dark and depressing. 🧵

Quality beetles. Mimic caterpillar turds as adults and live in a case fashioned from turds as larvae.

I'm helping the BBC with a new landmark series on terrestrial invertebrates. If there are any fascinating stories you know of or that you're working on, please get in touch. Pls RT.

The Ghost Buckeye (Junonia prosopon), descended from a species driven extinct by habitat loss, evolved to ward off humans.
When spotted, they display the uncanny face-like patterns on their wings. This image has inspired folklore stories, marking whole areas of forest as haunted.

Amazing to see this map of all movements by reintroduced English White-tailed Eagles identifying landscape-scale habitat selection.

@AMAZlNGNATURE Wow, that was unexpected

[Global Statistics @Globalstats11]

@AMAZlNGNATURE Herpetologist Earyn McGee snapped this picture of THIS - the largest known bullfrog tadpole ever found.

Estimated to be about 3 years old, it’s unable to change into a frog because of hormonal imbalances, possibly caused by pollution.

Meet Australia's most recently named and described longhorn beetle: Excastra albopilosa! I was lucky enough to discover this remarkable species while camping @binnaburra in 2021. Have a read of the UQ News article for more detail and a link to the paper. #entomology #newspecies

I stumbled upon this cool thing on the border of secondary tropical forest, growing alongside Pangalane Channel system.

What’s crazy is that the vast majority of what you see in Madagascar is in fact endemic

[Will Bayfield-Farrell @BayfieldFarrell]

@DrRossPiper I am very keen for a tropical Peruvian expedition! I have worked on Neotropical Coleoptera for a couple of years and am planning my own expedition this summer. I would love to get involved with this trip if I can!

[Ross Piper @DrRossPiper]

I'm hatching a plan to run an entomology and herpetology expedition in the Peruvian Amazon next year. Let me know if you're interested.

Wildlife camera traps can capture the most unexpected scenes, like this orangutan acting like nobody's watching.
