💁🏻♀️ NEW: 🔬🌸 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.

Und hier machen zwei Exemplare der Großen Pechlibelle das, was man an einem sonnigen Sommertag als Libelle macht: für Nachwuchs sorgen. Sehr zur Freude der Libellenfreunde und -freundinnen, denn dann gibt es auch 2027 wieder Libellen zu beobachten.

💁🏻♀️ ICYMI: 🐸🥚 In a high-elevation #Oregon #lake, hundreds of Western toad pairs lay over a million #eggs together.
The hatching #tadpoles form massive #underwater schools that snake along the shore before growing legs and moving onto land. The #amphibians connect local food webs by transferring #energy to larger #predators.

💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🐦💞 Most #birds practice social #monogamy, but only a few species actually mate for life.
Ornithologist Bart Kempenaers from the #MaxPlanck Institute explains that longevity, predation risk, and site fidelity all influence whether #animals stay partnered. Even lifelong animal pairs don’t always mate exclusively, with “cheating” and “divorce” playing a role.

💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🪲✨ #Fireflies are actually bioluminescent #beetles, not #flies.
Entomologist Clyde Sorenson from #NorthCarolina State University explains that #larvae glow to warn #predators of their #toxic taste, while #adults use species-specific flash patterns as a #mating ritual, with some predatory “femme fatale” fireflies mimicking other species’ signals to lure and eat males.

💁🏻♀️ ICYMI: 🐟🌊 Amphibious #mudskippers can walk on land, recognize individual #humans, and engineer J-shaped #underground burrows. But because they thrive in complex intertidal zones, recreating their #environment at home – and getting them to successfully breed in captivity – is a massive challenge.
To try and crack the code, Ben Newell of Worcester Terrariums built a custom tidal setup in his spare bedroom, attempting to safely introduce his resident dwarf Indian mudskipper, Trenchfoot, to a potential new partner named Doughboy.

💁🏻♀️ ICYMI: 🥁🦜 Many #birds use tools, but the palm #cockatoo, a native #parrot of northern #Queensland, #Australia, and #NewGuinea, is the only animal on #Earth known to make #music with a tool.
Male palm cockatoos craft drumsticks from branches and use them to drum on their prepared tree hollows in the tops of old-growth #trees. Each male has its own rhythmic style, sometimes drumming 200 beats in a row.

#Snail #Caracolus #sagemon (#Solaropsidae, #Sagdoidea, #Helicina, #Stylommatophora, #Gastropoda) is widespread in #Cuba and a popular terrarium inhabitant. It is predominantly nocturnal, primarily frugivorous, and—as a #terrestrialsnail—frequently exhibits a need to #bathe. I have documented a #mating encounter both through video and as #photoseries. Here two primary #bodypositions of both partners.

💁🏻♀️ 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.
