  1. 🦗🔬 University of #Sydney researchers found that house #crickets perform "flexible self-protection" by nursing specific injuries, suggesting they experience pain-like states rather than simple reflexes.

    The directed behavior indicates a level of conscious experience previously underestimated in #invertebrates. The findings could challenge our approach toward #insects, supporting a growing scientific consensus on their complex cognitive capabilities.

  16. 💁🏻‍♀️ ICYMI: 🦐🦘 Roly polies are terrestrial #crustaceans that evolved from marine-dwelling ancestors.

    They share a specific trait with #kangaroos because both carry their young in a brood pouch. Female pill bugs carry their #eggs and newly-hatched young in a special pouch called a marsupium.

  21. CW: Grosse fourmi noire

    Samedi dans la forêt j'ai croisé le chemin de cet étrange insecte. Assez gros (~2 cm de long), assez pour que je l'entende marcher sur les feuilles mortes avant de le voir.

    On dirait une fourmi, ça pourrait être une reine ? Ou complètement autre chose ? Si quelqu'un sait ça m'intéresse :blobcatthumbsup:

    (Désolé pour les photos nulles :blobcatsweats:)

  22. Cockchafer - these beetles emerge in large numbers in May & are attracted to light. The larvae live in soil and eat plant roots & are an important food item for many species, including moles, some birds & several other insect species. Some bat species eat the adults, including the rare Greater Horseshoe Bat, of which there is an internationally important population in #Bath
