this moth, Macrocilix maia
has taken camouflage to a different level

It has a photo realistic mural on its back, 2 red eyed flies eating bird guano,

A scene associated with potential disease, a risk best avoided by predators 1/🧵

Had a lovely encounter with a tiny echidna this morning

I lay down in the grass a few metres away, & they came right up & sniffed me!

Cute little hairy snails!!! 🐌💚

There are some birds out there that are literally just dinosaurs.

Yes, technically all birds are dinosaurs, but some, like the Parrot beaked Aseel literally look like they belong in the Mesozoic running around with the other non avian dinosaurs.

Came across this wombat, merrily munching away on a tussock

Then she turned around, revealing a miniature surprise!!

@juliet_turner6 @GinaGoesOutside Thanks for pointing this out Julia! I must have uploaded the incorrect photo! Yes it seems to be a millipede in the Polydesmus genus

@itsmee245 @JulieMontoya20 @AndyLGAtkins @RequiemForABat I’m not sure how many transgender folk you actually know. But they don’t.

[Abbie Wakelin @WakelinAbbie]

@itsmee245 @JulieMontoya20 @AndyLGAtkins @RequiemForABat Sorry you misunderstood my comment, their request to be referred to as women gets ignored. And you are right, all women should be pissed that they get ignored. I disagree about the red carpet, they don’t even have a safe toilet to use.

[Abbie Wakelin @WakelinAbbie]

@itsmee245 @JulieMontoya20 @AndyLGAtkins @RequiemForABat Equally, women have asked people to stop referring to them as trans … seems everyone is on the same page and everyone is feeling ignored.

RIBBIT! I love when you can see sounds in a picture. This American bullfrog was croaking so loudly that you can see the vibrations in the water surrounding him! 🐸🎶🐸#wildlife #science

Hey guys, This image went viral today following a share from a huge account, which did not tag me when using the image. So I thought I'd give it a share on my own account. It really sucks when these accounts don't tag the photographer. 😭😭
