Here we go again, my content being stolen by a grifter that’s blocked me. 😤 And now it’s ME that has to go out and annoyingly fill out a copyright form to submit to X which I don’t have time to do. I thought the new ‘content creator scheme’ was going to stop this? 🙄

Same goes for the bug roleplay accounts that do this same stuff. All of the ones I've seen so far are ran by people who don't know anything about the bugs they're pretending to be and end up spreading misinformation about them as a result.

Insect feet mostly are a short chain of tarsal segments ending in claws. Some end in a single hook. Some carry paired claws, padded lobes, combs of spines, or dense fields of adhesive hairs. Same class of structure. Completely different solutions. At this magnification the differences stop looking ornamental. The foot is where an insect meets the surface, and the surface is never one thing. Bark, leaf, flower, prey, soil, and the body of another insect each ask for a different grip. Claws lock into roughness. Pads and setae hold on smoothness. Spines brace, rake, or keep the leg from slipping sideways. A foot built for walking is not a foot built for holding, climbing, or seizing. Comparative work across orders shows that segment count, claw shape, pad size and the hairs between them occupy a very large design space. There is no single hidden insect foot underneath the variation. The legs we notice first are usually the long ones, or the ones with colour. The working end is easier to miss. That range is old. Once legs could specialise, the tip split into hooks, cushions, brushes, and tools that are barely feet at all. Joints, sockets, pigment and structural colour repeat as themes, not as copies. This is why insect feet keep rewarding extreme macro work. The subject is not rarity. It is variability packed into millimetres.

This came out recently. There's a lot of talk online about Apis mellifera and it's negative impacts in the USA and not enough about the negative impacts in other places. This research was conducted in the UK. theguardian.com/environment/…

turning in some bullshit for my exam but at least its over

since its close to halloween, please remember to not buy any taxidermy bats you see online. they are ALL culled in large numbers for just this purpose, and to be put in a resin box sold on amazon. please don't support their extinction, and remember NONE ARE ETHICALLY SOURCED

I hate dude bro zoology and how it has spread. As every video on sunfish is genuinely ass most of the time. They are not stupid among fish, they are generalist predators not simple jellyfish eaters, and they can go pretty fast speeds.

A lot of y'all hate that some people aren't sexually accessible to you and that's creepy as fuck. Leave asexual people alone and stop invalidating their sexuality.

It appears some of my fellow londoners have defeated the wither and constructed a beacon! glorious
