"A glimpse into the terrestrial
invertebrate communities
of Sazani island, Albania
(arthropods, molluscs)"

Sazan Island is the island in Albania that was formerly a military installation, then protected habitat, then promised to Kushner, et al.

This 2025 paper goes into some of the biodiversity there.

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🛩️🪰 Male #dragonflies engage in aerial dogfights to defend territory, using simple visual rules like fighter pilots.

Researchers in the #UK used stereoscopic cameras to reconstruct 3D flight paths of the scarlet Trithemis aurora dragonfly. The #insects pull up to 6 Gs and compete for tail chase positioning rather than intercepting like they do with prey.

I was flipping rocks today and came across more of the bright red springtails. I think they were under 90% of my landscape rocks today. I took these at higher magnification, and to my surprise, I seemed to get great depth of field. These guys are so tiny, but I took these at over 5x. There were a couple of the even tinier translucent white entomobryiods but I didn't really capture them. They actually spring!

This eastern lubber grasshopper says “are you lookin’ at ME??”.

[edit: yes, it is missing a jumpy leggy but seems to get around well enough to still find stuff to chomp upon. 💚)
