The fine velvety hairs on this Lutrochus travertine beetle trap air like a little bug scuba tank to help it breathe underwater. Arizona.

This one is called blue-tailed damselfly and (probably) is really smaller than this picture.

🐞 Results just reported by a researcher at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill show "insect populations are rapidly declining even in relatively undisturbed landscapes, raising concerns about the health of ecosystems that depend on them."
🪲 Recent studies with similar results focused on disturbed landscapes.

One little piece of news like this a day'd probly see me survive this darkness "a cost-effective and sustainable solution to help tackle the devastating decline in honeybees"
"Scientists have developed a breakthrough food supplement that could help save honeybees from devastating declines. By engineering yeast to produce six essential sterols found in pollen, researchers provided bees with a nutritionally complete diet that boosted reproduction up to 15-fold."

Experts believe a recent surge in infections in Japan is due to factors such as relaxed hygiene measures, drug-resistant bacteria and lowered immunity levels amid extreme heat. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/08/21/japan/science-health/infectious-diseases/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #sciencehealth #health#covid19 #ticks #insects #whoopingcough
This mantis posed for me today for about five minutes. What an absolute stunner. I'm obsessed with their eyespots and the translucent hood.
