A textbook image I did a few years ago showing a trap-jaw ant (Odontomachus rixosus) with her mandibles held open and trigger hairs forward, and then in the closed position.

The snapping shut of the trap is one of the fastest measured animal movements.

A split-screen image showing (top) a face view of an elongated ant standing on a reflective surfave, facing us with toothy brown jaws held 180 degrees open, and (bottom), the same ant with jaws closed, the bluntly toothed tips held together.

20-30min sketches from #paleostream flocking! Magyarosaurus, Pycnonemosaurus, Platysomus and Palaeoctopus :)
#paleoart #sciart
and some silly alt as always

Two digital sketches on one page.
Top: a landscape, inspired by big murals in Moscow paleo museum (Orlov's museum), featuring Magyarosaurus, and a few pterosaurs and other sauropods in the background. Magyarosaurus there slowly goes into the water, looking down on it. The vibe is peaceful, just like a quiet sunrise in the early day during summer. Wish i was there too.

Bottom: a portrait of a Pycnonemosaurus walking through a canyon, looking at the camera. The most of the animal is in shadow, but there's a hard edge of light coming from up and behind. This guy looks like he smells like dust, warm skin and a stinky dogs breath. But i love him anyway.

Two digital colored sketches on one page.
Top: a silly looking fish Platysomus. Just a few swimming there, some are blurred against the dark background. Two of them are close to the camera. No thoughts in their eyes at all.

Bottom: a clutch of eggs, with a mother - Palaeoctopus, protecting them. You can only see a few of her arms, so it's mostly about babies. They're almost ready to hatch, and their mother is close to being forever lost in time again. Extant female octopuses die not long after their eggs hatch. And it's actually more complicated than just starvation (if you're interested - there's a lot to read about it!).
I don't think we know if Palaeoctopus did that too, but i've speculated that at least they could guard their eggs too.

Having a hard time liking my art atm, even tho i still want to draw stuff. So here are random sketches and studies again

A digital drawing, there are a lot of studies and other little things on one page. Here's a study of a photo of Tom Mckay (can't believe i did it again but he's genuinely fun to draw), study of some plants, kcd2 screenshot (the city one), little studies of oil paintings done by Viktor Vasnetsov and Ivan Shishkin. And a couple of mindless sketches of running wooden horses and um.. Medieval looking snake? Dragon?.. Whatever this thing is.

Atentos con los logos que acá figuran porque según la web de Daniel Benchimol, desde Proyecto451 les han dado una «formación» en IA generativa 🚨 Léase: les han enseñado a usar Midjourney, GPT, Gemini, Flux y Freepik para sustituir a ilustradores, diseñadores, fotógrafos, escritores y traductores.

Arte es Ética @arteesetica.bsky.social · 5d

TIENEN QUE DAR EXPLICACIONES @culturagob.bsky.social Llevamos tres años escuchando sus promesas sobre la defensa y protección de los autores pero están legitimando en espacios dedicados a la cultura a promotores de la IA generativa que dictan cursos sobre «Generar portadas de libros con GPT» 🤨

The “war-ravaged” Portland only exists in Trump’s head.

@kevinhfoster.bsky.social recently visited the ICE facility and spoke with people there and across Portland—and the reality of what is happening on the streets is very different than what the administration wishes to portray.

The “war-ravaged” Portland only exists in Trump’s head.

My video report paints a very Portland scene of defiance—and dance.

For today's #Aractober post I present this handsome Green Magnolia Jumping #Spider ( Lyssomanes viridis) lad from a few years back. The males have the ridiculously outsized chelicerae.

A photo of a leggy green and orange spider from above front resting on very pale blue siding. The spider has very slender and proportionately long translucent green legs which are covered in fine spine-like hairs. it has slender rusty orange pedipalps and behind them are outsized curved orange chelicerae. It's large main eyes are translucent and smaller eyes are clustered above and behind them next to a patch of bright orange scales. it's brownish green abdomen is just out of focus behind it.

Another photo of the jumping spider from above. The curvature of the large chelicerae is very evident and the slender brownish green abdomen is more in focus.

“On average, three hikers have died every day throughout this summer in Italy’s high peaks.”
20% more than in 2024.

Combine inexperienced tourists + "Since about a year ago, many people have begun to think everything on ChatGPT is correct. It is not a tool for mountain advice, routes, or planning.”

Why Are the Italian Alps So Deadly This Summer?

On average, three hikers have died every day throughout the summer in Italy’s high peaks. Experts explain why.
