  1. πŸ’πŸ»β€β™€οΈ ICYMI: πŸ”¬πŸŒΈ Japanese #nature photographer Pendora (ぺんどら) captures tiny globular #springtails measuring around 0.3 mm in length.

    These wetland micro-arthropods display face-to-face courtship interactions and use a spring-loaded tail organ called a furcula to execute high-speed jumps that look like #teleportation.

  5. CW: Bee balm now with bee! (Pic of a bumblebee, plus an unknown (to me) insect)

    There are always bees in the bee balm – today I got lucky and got pic of one. Here's a bumblebee friend foraging in the sunshine.

    Also, a new-to-me insect encounter. Anyone know who this little guy is?

  6. The final pic relating to this slime mold scene is of a bristly millipede (Polyxenus lagurus, I think), a group I had never heard of before. They have detachable rear bristles that apparently function like grappling hooks and can be deployed against ants and spiders. Details of that in linked paper if you need more. #millipedes #Diplopoda #Polyxenidae #arthropods #nature #biology
