Sometimes you see a girl and you think. "I wish that were me." And sometimes you ARE that girl. (if you are chaunacops)

You should watch the video. It's even better.

A red very round angler fish of the deep. She is textured with big black eyes, and unreasonably cute.

@mbrubeck @tapirgirl thank you so much for the clarification!

fun thing about having Butt Plants is that sometimes they just split up into more butts. this was three butts last year, now it's six butts. maybe next year it'll be twelve butts. we're on the precipice of exponential butt growth 📈

a small pot with three lithops in the process of splitting.

Macro photograph in side view of a large, alert black insect with a red abdomen, a long beak, and antennae that look a bit like rabbit ears, standing in front of an evenly green backdrop.

@nathanlovestrees if i'm reading this paper (https://www.researchgate.net/publication/260644731) and this article (https://www.quantamagazine.org/how-birds-evolved-from-dinosaurs-20150602/) right, probably birds?

do you think birds got the idea from fungi or fungi got the idea from birds?

Several birds nest fungi (genus Cyathus) growing in some black mulch next to some pebbles.

Celebrating #FungiFriday with officially the teeniest mushroom I've photographed; I'm still pretty new to real macro photography and it's proven to be quite the challenge, particularly on film, but wow is it satisfying when the effort pays off!

color film photo of a pair of tiny, light brown mushrooms growing from a dense carpet of short, green moss; they have narrow stipes each leading to a round cap that curves slightly inward around the edge; looking closely at the cap, one can see that it's covered in tiny white granules and seems to be ever so slightly pleated, creating the appearance of dark stripes running towards the edge where the gills are presumably attached inside; in the foreground, the blurred outlines of several even smaller specimens are visible

The artist collective im a part of had an exhibition today! This was my wall :)
#FediArt #MastoArt #linocut #printmaking

Picture of a wall with art on it. Its painted dark blue with a big pink stripe in the middle. On the pink section there's a huge drawing of a snail and lots of colorful flowers. On both of the sides on the blue parts there's some clusters of lino prints of flowers, birds, fish and other fun stuff.

Close up picture of a section of the wall. Its painted blue and hanging on the wall there's lino prints of a loon, a cormorant two flowers and a canine like creature

Close up picture of the middle section. There's a big pink stripe painted and a drawing of a snail with a neon pink shell looking up at a flowers. Around there's a border of multiple colorful flowers. Under the drawing is a long made-up word put up on the wall. It says "middelalderskpsykadelsikvårbonanza" which loosely translates to "dark age psychedelic spring bonanza"

Close up picture of a section of the wall. Its painted blue and hanging on the wall there's lino prints of a fish with a flower around it's head, two flowers, a cat man creature with cool facial hair and one of some dog creatures screaming at a flower

🪰 North American herpetology: Philadelphia, J. Dobson;1842.

[Source: https://biodiversitylibrary.org/page/4069508]

Illustration of Amphiuma tridactyla, a long, slender aquatic amphibian with an eel-like body. It has a smooth, dark upper body gradually lightening toward the tail, which curls upwards. Small, reduced limbs with three visible digits are present near the front and middle of the body. The head is broad and rounded without prominent eyes or mouth details. The style is a detailed scientific drawing from 1842, emphasizing the animal's elongated form and minimal limbs.

Happy #WorldTurtleDay! Here's a kind turtle helping a monkey out with a ride, from the Lights of Canopus, a 19th-century Persian version of an ancient Indian collection of animal fables. More here: https://publicdomainreview.org/collection/illustrations-from-the-lights-of-canopus-1847

@diffractie you can! With an export and a little `jq`, if your instance is running plain up-to-date Mastodon. Can you terminal?

So many choices! Too many? A small hermit crab checks out the stock of new outfits; a dozen assorted shells, mostly native varieties, with one imported zebra nerite. And there's that big whelk shell; too big now, but give him time ...
#VancouverIsland #HermitCrabs #IntertidalInvertebrates #Invertebrates #MarineLife #DailyHermit

On the right, a green and brown hermit crab stands on top of a large, whitish whelk shell. He wears a brown and white mud snail shell, clean and new-looking. Below him, on the floor, lie a mix of shells, all but one unoccupied. There are more of the mudsnail shells, long and narrow, some brown and white, a couple dark brown. There's an oval, white shell, and an exotic; an orange shell striped with black (this one purchased from a pet store).
Background; water, and more shells, blurred by the water currents.

@SRLevine I'm going with "fancy bong"

Pleased to share that I'm doing a webinar next Wednesday, May 28th. I'll be talking about my participation in Cornell's Ground-nesting Bees research project with my garden's Rufous-backed Cellophane Bees.

@sarae just seeing this now, so glad you're okay!!

@sundogplanets I had a 20 minute bike ride this morning in absolutely pouring rain, and on the way back in light rain, so it is hard not to complain about rain. But I know we need it and it will pay off with glorious bugs/moss/fungus/lichen.
