Green Tiger Beetle on leaf litter.
My first Common Lizard of the year on 11th & Green Tiger Beetle today at the Dorset patch. Birding pretty slow though, with just a few singing Chiffchaff & a Sand Martin over. #Dorset #Inverts #reptiles

macro photo looking down on a geometrid moth with wings fully spread. The wings are dusty rose the head and upper thorax are tan.
Sabulodes aegrotata Geometrid Moth come in a huge variety of colors: cream or pale yellow to ochraceous, brown or blackish brown & combinations thereof, also spots or no spots.
That said - hard to beat Dusty Rose as THE BEST color form!

A photograph of a crab spider perched on the ear of a bright green cat figurine. They're looking at the camera with a bright and curious expression, ready to explore. All over their soft brown legs and abdomen are pretty darker brown-black stripes and spots that give them a tiger-like appearance.
A photograph of the same crab spider on a Nintendo switch. The lighting is more washed out, making them look much paler. Their legs are spread out in a very crab-like manner.
A photograph of the same crab spider, this time zoomed out showing the full Nintendo switch logo of the switch dock they're sitting on. They have a small bit of cat fluff stuck to their leg, which I carefully removed after taking this pic.

It made me so happy to see this little guy, I haven't seen very many bugs this winter. It's still bitterly cold in Canada, so I haven't been out doing much photography.
They were hanging around with me for a while on my desk. π

A Bumblebee shaped insect with a fluffy looking light brown body and a black tail. It has a long straight proboscis held out in front of it. Its translucent wings are held back and have small black dots on them. It's resting on a light coloured hessian bag. It's pointing upwards.
My first Bee-fly of the year just now in the back garden. A Dotted Bee-fly (Bombylius discolor) resting on a hessian sack of dead leaves. π

Breakfast up the garden, joined by a bee-fly, long proboscis sipping fiery wallflowers, ginger fur gilet wrapped tight. Quick dips into each brazen floret, then on, so much sugar to sample, before the timid March sun goes in. πππͺ° #Daily#Nature #inverts π
in two weeks some of my isopods have grown from barely visible to over half an inch long!

A large fly, with a narrow, elongated body and wings, and incredibly long legs extending far from its body, rests on a window screen so that you can compare its size to the screen grid.
Cute little crane fly resting on my window screen. Just look at those long legs! #inverts #MeAndMyShadow

In big red letters it says "Shop Update" with blue text under it "Prints, Stickersheet." There are four pictures behind the text laid on a flat surface. One from monster hunter, another with corvids, another one with avatar creatures, and the last full of beetles.

A very small one for spring! There's a few new prints and brand new stickersheets I have figured out how to make at home :D

A pair of Pipevine swallowtails on a hot date, attempting to make more swallowtails.
Someone in the neighborhood is growing California Pipevine (Aristolochia californica) because these two lovers came floating through my yard earlier. Caterpillars incoming! CA Pipevine Swallowtails. #inverts

A little Rhinoceros Beetle (Dasygnathus trituberculatus) protesting being in the spotlight! This species makes strange squelching, scraping sounds when it feels threatened. Recorded in to Lamington National Park, Queensland.

Plot with stable carbon on the X-axis and stable nitrogen on the Y-axis, showing the difference in isotope values between predator (black-legged kittiwake) and prey (fish and invertebrates). Black-legged kittiwakes are in the middle of the plot, below Arctic cod.
After accounting for dietary discrimination, #Ξ΄13C and #Ξ΄15N #isotope values in kittiwake livers were at a lower #trophiclevel than Arctic cod.
What does this mean? While kittiwakes do consume Arctic cod (as seen in stomachs), stomach analysis may underestimate soft tissue prey, such as #inverts.
side view photo of a variable sallow perched on my hand. this medium sized mouth has coppery wings with darker spots and lines. the thorax and head are fuzzy and the big brown eye just screams "puppy".
dorsal view photo of a variable sallow chillin on some bricks and the white doorframe. the angle of the photo catches the shinyness of the wings and the darker spots and lines on the forewings.
dorsal view photo of a variable sallow that is more gold colored, again extremely shiny with subtle markings on the wings.
first 80 degree day means the moths come out to play! a bunch of variable sallows, including a couple who decided i was a good resting place.

Time to get the Macro Muscles back into shape (oh believe me - it's a whole thing!)
Practicing with the amazing flexible twin flash @jencross.bsky.social gave me because my off camera flash muscles literally atrophied from my broken humerus in '19 π

Lepidurus packardi, the Vernal Pool Tadpole Shrimp.
A shed exoskeleton floating on the surface of a turbid vernal pool.
Vernal Pool Tadpole Shrimp are invertebrates and do a lot of molting of their carapace along the way to gaining size. In well-populated pools you can often see shed carapaces/molts just floating in the surface or around the margins of the pool. Makes it nice and easy to determine presence! #inverts
A baby monkey plenty of curiosity sorrounded by all the green leaves. They're so curious and very used to people, maybe too much. His pretty face is totally chef by the sunlight, while he's looking where will be the next game he'll do
A wonderful scarce blue tiger butterfly, just resting on a branch. His wings show a wonderful pattern of pale blue stripes and dots, while the body is covered with white dots. The deep green of the forest still makes it more beautiful
An amazing crested serpent eagle with a funny expressive face. I got this photo right on the moment that he was screaming to other eagles of same specie. He's perched on a dry branch of a giant tree, showing those wonderful yellow eyes. The brown feathers covers it's body, but black on the head.
The common hill myna, perched on a big branch covered by small green leaves. It's orange beck is open, with those metallic dark blue feathers covering the body. Amazing and super intelligent bird, can imitate even better than parrots the human voice
I've soo many amazing photos to share that I don't know which one to share π Malaysia and its amazing biodiversity πΈπΏπ·
