Juvenile Heermann's gull (very dark all over) in flight, flying over very very shallow water. Flying to the right maybe two feet off the ground. It's shadow is to the right. Just below the shadow is a reflection on the sheen of water.
Got this really cool, ghostly picture by accident the other day in Dillon Beach, CA. It is a Heermann's gull with both it's shadow and reflection.

Drowning Doesnβt Look Like Drowning
Drowning is not the violent, splashing call for help that most people expect.
Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on.

I've talked about this paper before, but the images at 12/10. So you should check it out if you are not squigged out by arachniods.

Two specimens of a harvestman arachnid. Both are black in colour, and shown on wood/moss. The head of both points towards the top, and they have long, spiney legs, the left one has a body terinating in spines.
For your delectation, a goth arachnid: Propachylus fornicatus.
This animal is a harvestman - the boys (shown left) were originally described as a different genera to the girls (shown right).

Cyphonia clavata, a treehopper with a helmet that looks like an ant - this is a brown insect, head towards us, with green eye transparent wings, and a weird ass growth out of its head. It is absolutely crazy.

Go home everyone, there is absolutely nothing happening here.

A digital drawing of Godpoke putting their hat on Patty. Godpoke has a goofy smile on their face and Patty looks really nervous and excited, they're both blushing. They are wearing casual clothes.

A plate of eleven fossil spiders in a dark shale/slate, which is grey to blackey-red. The fossil spiders are generally white or light in colour. They're generally pretty leggy spiders, with small bodies, and in a variety of different poses Scale bar = 1mm if you're interested. My absolute fave is in panel E. What a gorgeous animal.
For #FossilFriday check out these ~100 million year old spiders from South Korea. They were probably preserved when rivers washed their remains into large lakes/basins associated with the plate tectonic movements of the time.

A photograph of the head end of a velvet worm, a soft-bodied invertebrate covered in beautiful orange and blue patterns.
Last weekend I got to see NZ velvet worms in their native forest habitat. These animals are so bizarre, taxonomists gave them their very own Phylum, next to tardigrades - that's insane!
This Ooperipatellus sp. is an egg-laying genus, but there's another here that gives live birth!
