For #flyday a black swallowtail landing on a flower. Taken many moons ago. #butterfly #bugsky #insects #swallowtails #nature #wildlife #eastcoastkin 🦋 🌎
A black swallowtail butterfly (Papilio polyxenes) landing on a flower with a background of plants. Best guess is it's a female based on markings.

“Then a sudden scatter of summer rain
is your tongue.
Then a butterfly paused on a trembling
leaf is your breath.
Then the gauzy mist relaxed on the ground
is your pose.”

This is probably my last unreleased heart melting footage of 2025, the rest will have to wait till next year.

Stop scrolling and enjoy one of the cutest near threatened birbs in nature engaging in the cutest act.

After 3 years monitoring them, I finally caught snow plovers hiding under mama. 🪶 🐣

Please meet fiesty little Yukon Cornelius. 5 weeks old.

Don’t be fooled by his adorable floof! He’s streetwise and tough, and is slowly learning the comforts of Being Inside.

Yukon and his sister are closely bonded. Adoptable in Feb!

A impossibly adorable fluffy brown tabby kitten sits perched in a temporary cage. His long fur makes him look bigger than he is. He has perfect white toes, a white bib, striking white eyeliner… and the perfect adorable head tilt. He’s a pro! Photo owned by CatCareNetwork.org

Squids look kinda goof when they eat fish like this. You don't even get to see the fish, only its tail sticking out. It almost looks the tail is part of the squid, some sort of mersquid.

🦑📷KJ (inaturalist.ca/observations...)
An Opalescent Inshore Squid (Doryteuthis opalescens) swimming in place and eating a fish. The fish is almost entirely enveloped by the squid's arms, with its tail sticking out of the end. The squid is pointing to the right. Its mantle is mostly horizontal but on a slightly downward angle. Its arms point down a bit more. The squid's arms are covered in orange chromatophores. Its head and mantle are covered in yellowish green and brown chromatophores. There is sea grass in the background and it is dark.
