A Motmot holding a pencil. The Motmot has a patchwork collar and green leg warmers. Knit beanie work in progress with a grey background and rainbow color work of shore birds. 2 Blythe's hornbills flying through a blue sky. There are two swift foxes. One is standing on all fours in front of a grid to show the dimensions of the average swift fox. The other swift fox is sitting on a scale to show the average weight of a swift fox. Text over head reads "Swift Fox Measurements"

Grey lighthouse with a white house on its left with a red roof. In the foreground is some greenery and grass. A white lighthouse and regular house overlook the Pacific Ocean on Oregon Coast near Lincoln City. Greenery and grass cover the foreground. I found this image on Google.

My Pollinator Partnership 2026 annual poster contest sketch so far 😁🐛🦋
#art #pollinators #lepidoptera #insectart #poster
In the top left corner is the title which reads "Life on a Leaf: Caterpillars and Host Plants." On the left side of the poster is a sketch of an Eastern Cottonwood with an American hornet moth resting on the trunk. Directly above the moth is a close up sketch of its caterpillar stage. To the right of the caterpillar is a sketch of a swamp milkweed. To the right of the milkweed is a sketch of a Texas Live Oak branch.

Today's science hot take:

I'm starting to think that the rule in animal behavior studies that we shouldn't anthropomorphize the organisms we're studying is the exact opposite of what we should be doing and is actually hindering scientific breakthroughs in animal behavior.
