@TamarHaspel Bug person here...looks a lot like Neoscona domiciliorum (uninspired common name: red-femured spotted orbweaver)

Whatever she is, lovely spider!

@DLNarango Not 100% sure this fits the bill, but this paper just came out from the folks working on the Smithsonian BiodiversiTREE experiment - all about spiders: https://t.co/cg0gTaOPyg

[Gabriel Popkin @GabrielPopkin]

Oof. I greatly respect and admire both the New Yorker and Jill Lepore, but I'm deeply disappointed in Lepore's feature story in this week's magazine on forest loss and tree planting. (1/n) https://t.co/gizrxkfykF

[U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service @USFWS]

We need to talk. Opossums just don't eat nearly as many ticks as folks have been led to believe. It's not the opossum's fault - ticks just aren't a great food source. You understand, right?

@PoPville Helping bugs is AWESOME, 100% commend the intent here, but those actually aren't native wildflowers (maybe native to Europe?)...@xercessociety recommends this seed mix for our region: https://t.co/fFkRtU2jmZ

[Valerie Hagger @valerie_hagger]

Our paper in @NatureComms reveals that global #mangrove losses and gains over 20 years can be attributed to socioeconomic and biophysical factors. Access to markets is a strong driver of loss, but economic growth can be compatible with mangrove gains: 10.1038/s41467-022-33962-x
