How do we feel about these big accounts stealing wildlife photographers photos for monetisation? It’s disgraceful…

Wildlife populations have declined 69% on average since 1970. Forests cover 31% of Earth but house 80% of terrestrial species. When we cut forests, we cut life itself. Source: WWF Living Planet Report + UN

This spider LOOKS and SMELLS like 💩! The Bird Dropping Crab Spider (Phrynarachne spp.) is a master of camouflage! 🕷️ This complete resemblant of bird poop goes both ways, to help avoid predation and ATTRACT PREY! 😳 By emitting a foul smell to deter most things from eating it, it also helps attract insects that are drawn by the disgusting odour as an unsuspecting meal! 🪰 How crazy is nature!?!??! Found in Australia ! 🌳

It’s not! All of our work is funded by ourselves, hence we work other jobs to support or research! 😳 We have to leave the rainforest next week to go back home to work again. If you want to help support our work you can join our Patreon or subscribe to me here! 😌🪲🦋

People need to know about how disgraceful the funding losses are in museums & research in Australia! EVERY museum has had its researchers gutted, some have gone from 20+ people working in natural sciences to 2. 😤 How can we even begin to protect our world when we can’t study it?

Over the last decade we’ve slowly watched every museum lose its science curators. The younger generation of researchers with PhD’s are struggling more than ever to get jobs. How can we describe new species? How can we continue to monitor populations of threatened species? Scary!

One of my favourite MOTHS!!! 🤯🖤 They mimic a wasp SO well that I always get nervous seeing them still! 😅
ただの黒いハチに見えるけど、こう見えて蛾(Myrmecopsis sp.)。日本のカノコガに近く、顔と触角はしっかりと蛾のつくりをしている。東南アジアやアフリカの熱帯域と比べて、中南米の昆虫には、完成度の高い擬態例が多いように見受けられる。この地域差の背景には、捕食者による選択圧の強さや性質の違いが関与しているだろうけど、中南米はより「賢い」樹上性の捕食者が多いからではと想像している。
