This striking moth — Amana angulifera — hadn't been seen in about 150 years, but in 2018, an iNaturalist community member found one. Since then, there have been another 11 sightings!

🌊 New research identifies a potential nursery for endangered shortfin mako sharks in the Pacific, a critical area at risk from overfishing.
Reducing fishing pressure in this hotspot could help conserve vulnerable juveniles and aid species recovery. 🦈
