this week's feature in #CurrentBiology is about counting #insects. Just how many #species are there, and how on Earth does one arrive at a reasonable estimate for that number? Also: new species discoveries, population declines. https://proseandpassion.blogspot.com/2026/08/how-many-insects-are-there.html

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!

Si vous voulez permettre à un docu super cool (si si, promis !) sur une araignée presque inconnue de la recherche et qu'on a vue une seule fois en 200 ans, allez regarder le lien vers mon nouveau projet et surtout partagez-le autour de vous ! C'est super important, c'est difficile d'avoir de la visibilité sur un sujet comme celui-là :D

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
