I made a Tumblr for all my nature photos 👀 Thought it would be the best way to find specific photos/species I've found! I'll sporadically update with all the backlog so photos won't necessarily be chronological for now. clumsyvelvetworms.tumblr.com

I like how people are making jokes about platypuses being classed as ‘women’ as a Diogenesian response to that One Author’s transphobic drivel, but. I’m pretty sure the image they keep using is a/ i. Or at least a render of some kind.
Guys can we not feed the Incorrect Animal issues on the internet

As some of you may know I've been suffering from a debilitating spinal condition for years now, and it's reached a point where I’m raising funds for spinal fusion surgery to treat it. I am in constant pain, especially when walking.

I like recording quotes from books I read, especially if they’re moving or a fact I want to remember. This one though, it gut punches me every time I open my quotes page in my notebook. The tragedy of begging people to care about an animal that seems so insignificant, but means the world to you.

I love that Poduromorpha are called “plump” springtails. It’s perfect. Just look at this ridiculous little animal. What is going on here.

Deepsea angler fish are famous for their fearsome appearance, but they pose no real threat to humans. Some are larger, but they are usually small, less than 10 inches long. The males are much smaller and parasitic on the females.

Introducing New Zealand's latest Bug of the Year- the magnificent Ngāokeoke / Velvet Worm!

NZ has two genera: one lays eggs (Ooperipatellus, 1st photo) and another gives live birth (Peripatoides, 2nd). They also deposit sperm which burrow through their partner's skin, but that's another story! 🧪

Fun Fact: we have native bees that sleep in the petals of one of our plants in the garden bed (Alogyne) 🥰 It’s actually too cute I can’t handle it lmao

An alpine subspecies of Killamoth; huge, intelligent predators from the world of #Amphibia.

Their social structures show sophisticated intra-specific communication and co-operation, extending in one documented case into a alliance with their usual prey among the coastal subspecies!

Summer is such a sad time of year as a naturalist in Australia. The Gariwerd/Grampians and the Gurdies are both on fire at the moment - Gariwerd is such a special place ecologically, I’m devastated.. Hopefully they can reign the fire in asap

I might actually create a second account for fantasy art stuff. Wasn't going to split accounts like that but I think I'd rather keep this as science and sci-art oriented so that fantasy stuff isn't burying science posts in my feed and vice-versa.
Expect follows from another account soonish probs
