Surprised to see a Red-winged Blackbird at the feeder yesterday. Must be on its way south. Not 100% sure if this is a bold marked female or a male with no hint of shoulder patches (faded when non-beeding)

While normally people look for the brilliant red shoulder patch on a RW Blackbird, both the female and non-breeding plumage on the male is quite different. Nevertheless the patterns on this bird is quite striking, bold in its own way.

One of my favourite #Pleistocene mammals - and, yes, it has a role in #PrehistoricPlanetIceAge - is the big predatory marsupial #Thylacoleo. Here's an introduction to this fantastic animal.... tetzoo.com/blog/2025/11... #marsupials

Delighted to spot this ant (maybe genus Polyrhachis) infected by the Zombie-Ant Fungus (complex Ophiocordyceps unilateralis) at MacRitchie Nature Trail, Singapore on 23 Nov 2025.

(1/n)

A dead ant with its jaws clamped on a leaf blade. Its body is covered with a layer of brown fungus. Just behind the head, a long fungus body has sprouted. The view is from above and one side of the ant. The legs of the ant have fallen off.

Another view of the same ant from the side, showing it holding on to the leaf blade.

A view from near the top of the ant, showing the fungus body sprouting from the back of the head.

A view from the front of the ant, showing the jaws clamping down on the leaf.

The genus name for American harvester ants, Pogonomyrmex, means "bearded ant", and it refers to a basket of hairs on the underside of the head that helps these desert ants carry dry sand.

Hello from a Frog Hopper and a spittle nest I found along the Napo River in Ecuador. All that foam is how the nymph frog hopper keeps itself safe from harm. I love this photo because if you look at the largest bubble you can see the nymph living in there(!!). Tiny little worlds everywhere

Blind cave spiders~

This occurs due to the process of regressive evolution. In an environment without light, vision provides no advantage in finding prey or avoiding predators. The loss of their eyes means that energy and resources once used for eyes are instead allocated to other traits.

Sunday Surfing in the photo archives - here's a giant shield bug (family Tessaratomidae) from Malaysian Borneo awhile back. These are larger than the typical stink bugs we see here in the U.S. They can spray a defensive chemical that not only smells unpleasant, but can damage skin. 🐙🌿 #Bugsky

A photo of a shield bug, seen from above, perched at the joint of two pieces of wood, painted a dull red. The bug is bright orange with metallic-green speckles on the shield over its thorax. The shield also has horns on each side which project out and forward. The wood pieces meet at an angle in the top of the frame; below them the background is black.

I'm glad you all enjoyed yesterday's monster find. Here's another close-up subject from Borneo, which is somewhat more benign (in terms of size): a harlequin tree frog. This is the most common frog we typically see during my night walks in Danum Valley.
