Yawning Babies

Hyperfocussing on fish is great until you spend all your money on fish and also nobody wants to hear you talk about it anymore

Here’s a piece I created for the Tarantula Show I went to a month or so ago!

Not only are these pea-sized treehoppers amazing to look at - they sound like tiny dinosaurs. Scientists have studied their calls by pressing phonograph needles to the leaf stems where the treehoppers are often found. They send chattering, moaning calls through the plant to attract mates and warn other treehoppers about predators. I listened to those noises here and they are INCREDIBLE.

The treehoppers shown here are all members of the true bug family Membracidae. Image credits:

Beautiful old whitetail buck skull I picked up at the yard sale. Such a cool antler anomaly! Likely caused by an injury while the antler was still in velvet. Definitely a keeper! <3 I’ll post more photos once I get it cleaned up.

The skin of Madagascar poison frogs contains the sugar sucrose – the first known case of sucrose produced by an animal, and not a plant.

Me introducing myself like hi I romanticise everything, overthink way too much, live 85% of my life in my head and still can’t believe I’m a Real Person
