I'm sure it goes without saying but if you voted for Trump or support him in any way, please block me. I do not want to interact.

Right?! I had no idea assassins could look anything like this till I found it.

I know my mental health has been pretty shit so maybe it's just that I spent so much of it dissociating but I feel like milkweed season went by so fast this year :(

SADIE 𓅐 @cicadie.bsky.social · 10h

Both large and small milkweed are actually harmless to milkweed plants as they pretty much just feed on their seeds/seed pods! Though the little guys in your picture are in the same order as the ones in my post, they're in a different family entirely.

I love these little goobers so much! I wish I saw them more. Last year we had large milkweed bugs (Oncopeltus fasciatus) and there were so many of them, both nymphs and imagos. Unfortunately haven't seen any of those this year. Hope it's not too late for more of the small ones to pop up at least 😔

This double crested cormorant was nonchalant as hell, man. Completely unbothered by all the gulls mobbing him for his lunch. I can only dream of being as cool as him someday.🐟

I feel so bad for brown recluses because they're so criminally misunderstood, and I feel bad for all other brown spiders in the US by proxy because everyone thinks they're brown recluses. :(

Would you believe this spindly guy is an assassin bug? I picked him up initially thinking he was a phasmid…then I got a closer look at the face and saw the rostrum, and the raptorial forelimbs started to make sense! He's a member of emesinae, a reduviid subfamily I didn't know about before!

...What do you mean it's the only member of the genus Phimosus? PHIMOSUS? PHIMOSIS? Do ornithologists even LIKE birds?
