Oh to be a little Tardigrade walking across a microscope slide. 🫧🐻🧪
Ever wondered why you can see underwater bubbles: invisible air in invisible water?

Enchanted! Thank you! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

A moth looking over the edge of a leaf, facing the camera. It is furry green with black eyes. The eyes are reflecting my flashlight. The antennae are very large, light orange, shaped like rabbit ears but like combs with a spine and long teeth
Timeline cleanse. There are beautiful critters everywhere.

This International Women’s Day, we honor 9 Ukrainian women whose names the world should know — women who have made, and continue to make, the ultimate sacrifice for Ukraine’s existence and its fight against russian terror.
Read their stories. Remember their names.
¡Feliz dia de la mujer! En especial a todas ellas que trabajan en el sector de la hostelería, bajos sueldos, con esos turnos partidos, pocos días libres y que más trabajan cuanto más fiesta es, perdiéndose así momentos importantes con los suyos para poder mantener a su familia💜
