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.

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. :(

Illustration I did of a roaring and/or yawning T. rex with a judgmental rex onlooker in the background. (done for Beasts of the Mesozoic T. rex figure)

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?
