Ashley Bui of UCR is giving a great talk on eucharitid phylogeny, but most importantly she tells us what the giant scutal spines are for: handles for grabbing by suspicious ants (their hosts)

Still looking for horror now that Halloween's over? Fortunately/unfortunately it's all around! 💀

A parasitoid laid a few eggs in a moth egg. As the caterpillar hatched & grew, wasp embryos multiplied inside to 100s of larvae that ate the entire host, eventually killing & turning it into a husk 😳 🤢

Nanotyrannus is real.

For years I’ve considered many mid-sized gracile tyrannosaurs to be juvenile T. rex.

But I was wrong. This stunning new skeleton of a mature long-armed small tyrannosaur is clearly a different species.

Isn’t science fun?!

Researchers discover new tyrannosaur species in ‘duelling dinosaurs’ fossil
Analysis of Montana fossils shows the battling predator was a fully grown Nanotyrannus, not a young T rex

It is the season when lotus flowers bloom in Japan. Lotus flowers bloom early in the morning and close in the afternoon. I woke up early to take this photo.
