Amazing these otherworldly creatures inhabit the little ol' English coast. Unlike other #Devon #ctenophores we saw the Northern Comb Jelly (Beroe cucumis) lacks tentacles, instead engulfing other ctenophores with huge mouth. These ancient marine #invertebrates are largest animals to swim with cilia.

Honeybees and shrimp are now getting vaccinated
Lab Trials Show Shrimp Survival Rising From Zero to 58% With Inherited Immune Priming
Bee vaccine is not injected. It is mixed into the feed that worker bees consume, incorporated by those workers into royal jelly, and fed to the queen.

in the works of great masters like Rembrandt.
Ironically The Night Watch, cited in the worm article, long believed to use Orpiment was recently shown to have used pararealgar and semi-amorphous pararealgar instead. But both natural and produced orpiment have been found amongst his pigments in other paintings, like one previous, known as The Jewish Bride. 🧵3/4

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

#ArtRepostJuly Day 28: Environment
Kinda a stretch but here's a little game project I made. And when I say "I made" I mean pretty much everything; the models, the rigs, the textures, the animations, the sound effects, the code, the environment for the spider to play in...

Weighing An Octopus Starts With a Laundry Basket
Image: Robin Riggs Just like nurses ask patients to step on the scale at their annual checkup, weight is an important metric in animal healthcare. Measuring some animals’ weight, however, isn’t as straightforward as it is for human patients. The team at the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach, California, has devised a great approach for their Giant pacific octopus (Enteroctopus dofleini) named Glinda.......Continue reading...

💁🏻♀️ ICYMI: 🐦🌀 If you've ever spotted a shorebird spinning in circles on the water, you might have wondered if it was okay.
Wilson's #phalaropes actually spin to create a small vortex that sucks #invertebrates up to the surface. It's a clever way to forage for food that some say makes them look like "demented wind-up toys."

Why is #JavaScript so popular? I hate everything about it.
I'm speaking at the #Canberra Field #Naturalists meeting at #ANU next month on #Malaise trapping and the #insects and other #invertebrates that surround us without our noticing them.
I expect most of my slides to be arrays of four or six #microscope images with a header (probably a family name in most cases) and captions for each image.
I don't want to lay out all these images in #LibreOffice (or any similar presentation tool) because I'm a perfectionist and getting it all tidy will take forever.
So, I decided to try out #Slidev, #Marp and other #Markdown-based presentation tools. The Markdown part is very appealing, but they all lean hard into JavaScript. That would be fine so long as I don't have to think about that side of things.
Slidev's AppleBasic theme seemed to be the best starting point, so I started hacking it to add som extra gridded image views. Plain image grids were not too challenging, but I really want captions for each image, so I started trying to understand how the templates use the forest of underlying JS libraries and CSS artefacts to produce the displayed slides.
Frankly, the whole thing is so opaque and would take me much longer to understand than preparing multiple presentations by hand would.
Then I realised I can use #montage on the command line to produce the kind of layouts I want, and I can script #exiftool to extract and prepare the captions which will save time.
So, my new plan is to write a #Python script that processes a #YAML file listing all the slides, titles and image paths. It can generate PNG images that are close to the target 1920*1080 size (give or take a little). I'll then use LibreOffice for a couple of more text-oriented or irregular slides, export those and combine all the images into a PDF.
I'm sure this will be way faster than battling Node.js. Not sure why I felt I had to write it up.
