A wonderfully eye-catching display of Splachnum ampullaceum earlier this week - a fabulous moss that grows on old cowpats. Only the second time we've ever seen it so capsule-tastic

@jess_ann_pin Great points.

Scientists discovered that octopuses sometimes punch fish for seemingly no reason at all

@justask66054535 I want to see it again, it's been a while.

[Susan Tremblay @verdoornia]

@justask66054535 Great film.

[Susan Tremblay @verdoornia]

@ilichenmoss @BUCBotany Cool discovery!

[Masaki Shimamura @bryotweet]

@verdoornia There are other interesting differences. In Japan, Blasia often wither in winter (especially the thallus with sporophytes), while Cavicularia is evergreen.

[Masaki Shimamura @bryotweet]

@verdoornia Cavicularia does not produce bottle-shaped receptacles. Gemmae form in crescent-shaped depressions.

@bryotweet I had no idea- so interesting. I can see the Nostoc colonies

Interesting post about a phylogenetically important taxon.

[Masaki Shimamura @bryotweet]

Cavicularia densa is a liverwort species endemic to East Asia, belonging to the family Blasiaceae. It is much larger than its close relative, Blasia pusilla, which is widely distributed in the Northern Hemisphere.

The first treatise on bedbugs from 1730 — https://t.co/bjdEqIO29e

Written by an exterminator, it wanders into a surprising mode: one inflected not by disgust, but rather coy wonder and begrudging awe.

@kane @eslo_dev @dradding I'm just talking about policing it.

@melissavitelli @Uncatfishable Where is the 30g of protein?

今年も水田に。寿命が短いので小さい時に採集すると、長く観察できる。

関西の方で見つけられたホワホワ綿菓子タイプのモンヌカカの幼虫
今回のはなかなか髪型がキマっていて、お尻の綿(蝋物質と思われるもの)も後ろに流れるように生えてて良かった。モンヌカカの幼虫は種類によって餅とかの謎オプション付けてるけど、どういう役割なのか…
