🐍 It's #WorldSnakeDay! The painted bronzeback #snake (Dendrelaphis pictus) is found in Southeast Asia & India. #SciArt from "Contributions to the Natural History of Labuan, and the Adjacent coasts of Borneo" (1855) by Motley & Dillwyn. In #BHLib via @NLB: https://t.co/jHEe4IvxIP
The difference between poisonous and venomous animals is surprisingly simple; "if you bite it and you die, it's poisonous. If it bits you and you die, it's venomous." Learn and remember proper #zoology terms!
#WorldSnakeDay
Few pairings are more lovely than that of the crescent Moon and Venus this evening (a shot from our roof). It's worth your time to go outside & take a look. It sort of resembles the flag of Turkey. Actually, I could really go for a Turkish coffee about now. #wawx#nightsky
A meteor and the #MilkyWay share the sky over a barn near North Danville, Vermont late Saturday night. What a #nightsky over the rolling, green hills of the Northeast Kingdom. #nek#Astrophotography
