Bird 🪲 #1 Andrena fulva fan

i got really emotional last night about the symbiotic relationship of a pistol shrimp and goby

@i0lanthe_ researchgate.net/publication/25… onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1155/20…

@i0lanthe_ There's predatory dung beetles aswell fun fact. Some dung beetles decapitate ants and some dung beetles hunt millipedes.

Sometimes to reach the stars you must climb over a ball of shit

@i0lanthe_ Shoutout also to Diplura. Not insects but still awesome. Love them.

@i0lanthe_ I love mining bees, genus Andrena. Especially the tawny mining bee, Andrena fulva...

Call me elitist but whenever i meet someone and they r like "oh i love bugs too!!" And their favorite is a rosy maple moth im just like. Ok

@1verymuddybee @AriTheDumb @Shadoo_creeture The gif also shows hornets, Vespa, not even yellow jackets..

@AriTheDumb @Shadoo_creeture YOU’RE NOT EVEN BEES OH MY GOD

Good morning everyone! Its good to... BEE BACK!!!

YEAH NO ACTUALLY ITS NOT CUTE WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT ALL THE WILDLIFE YOUR OUTDOOR CAT BRINGS YOU ITS ACTUALLY SICK AND SHOULD BE SOCIALLY SHAMED OUT OF NORMALITY

@chimplyfred @Shadoo_creeture I don't get why they do that anyways. Once you know a gif is considered abuse, it's not hard to just not use it??? No one is forcing you to use gifs of monkeys being abused.

@Shadoo_creeture People will have all the gifs they use be of primates being abused and then act snarky when you tell them, it's awful

I'm sorry but I really don't like how so many animal abuse gifs are normalized on this app, especially this fucking gif I hate it so much

something for my fellow health anxiety and also my chronic illness followers to put their minds at rest ❤️ #meningitis

Meningitis symptoms can develop quickly, so it’s important to act immediately if you spot them. More info ➡️ nhs.uk/conditions/men…

@Narcissus_Flour If its the species I'm thinking of, these guys are also apart of a species complex with about four species in it, which basically means they're almost indistinguishable from each other and the lines between each separate species are pretty blurred

Yk what pmo’s me off? This is the most common species of earwig in Europe and the only species found in my country

@redhead_ophelia @GopeshKhetan Also mites are an entire group of arachnids. There's all kinds of species adapted for different things and not all of them are harmful to us...

@redhead_ophelia @GopeshKhetan Mites are literally everywhere what are you on about. It doesn't matter if there's trees or not.

First in my bloodline to read this sentence.

It you're an "animal lover" and you dont extend that love to animals who have anything other than 4 legs, two eyes, fur, and vocal chords that make sounds comprehensible to your human ears then you're not an animal lover at all.

This has nothing to do with consciousness btw

Reminder: If you let your cat outside without supervision, you are an irresponsible pet owner and that cat should be taken from you. I don't care that they're annoying you until you let them out, train your damn cat or don't get one‼️

@frogclubs I've never heard of these until now and what the fuck?? Poor snakes :(

FUCK RATTLESNAKE ROUNDUPS AND FUCK YOU FOR SUPPORTING IT

@CrocodileCam @PanicStasis No problem!! :)

@undeadthing78 @PanicStasis Oh my goodness you just taught me something new and cool as hell!! Thank you so much!!

1000 rats is definitely the better option here. They are naturally more skiddish and while they do eat meat, they aren’t pack hunters nor do they gang up on larger animals like us. With spiders, while they are very reluctant to bite, if they are medically significant and are also more on the defensive side, this could lead to quite a few bites

@CuDeePie @kiutiexo @ikafishh perhaps surprisingly the best way to help people understand what is considered abuse is by using a photo of it. the infographic is made by people who have rescued a range of primates from the pet trade and entertainment industry, but if you needed more info then these are here
