  1. β€œRobber Fly”

    Is that close enough? πŸ˜…

    Though it doesn't look like a standard fly, the Robber Fly is actually a fly.

    The sheer size of the insect can alarm people unfamiliar with it, but the loud buzzing it creates by furiously beating its wings can be more disturbing.

    Flying insects like wasps, bees, beetles, and even other flies are all…

  5. 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.

  9. there's a mysterious
    marine chelicerate
    that's got nine eyes
    but don't lose any sleep
    those nine eyes
    can't form images
    of you or me or anything
    in the deep blue sea

    there's a mysterious
    marine chelicerate
    that's got spikes
    on five pairs of thighs
    but don't lose any sleep
    all those spikes
    just break up food
    so it can eat

    it's not closely related to crabs
    it's not closely related to horses
    and not even related to shoes

    #Ordovician #opabiniid-like animals and the role of the #proboscis in #euarthropod head evolution nature.com/articles/s41467-022

    A proboscisβ€”thought to represent a fused pair of head appendagesβ€”was not unique to #opabiniids, but instead was present in the common ancestor of #radiodonts and modern #arthropods, and through evolutionary time may have reduced to become the labrum of modern arthropods.
