It's World Bee Day! 🐝 This little Mason bee (genus Osmia) demonstrates exceptional strength & fortitude in removing a nail from a brick wall. Mason bees are solitary: the females make nests from mud or, in this case, masonry walls. So, our narrator should say: "good lass." (📷: MrDowner1306, YT)

You're looking at a Rainbow Tripod Fish (genus Bathypterois) observed on a blackwater dive near Cozumel, MX. This species demonstrates "ontogenetic vertical migration": young of this species mimic jellyfish near the surface, but descend in depth as they age. (📷: Frida Yolotzin, Blackwater Cozumel)

This viral video clip captured by Dean Boshoff of a desert rain frog (Breviceps macrops) highlights one aspect of their behavior: Their terrifying WAR CRY or alarm cry. (sound on) Let's learn a bit more about this African frog that lives along the sandy desert coast along Namibia & South Africa.

Shag carpeting was an experimentally-easier analog for the sand of the snake's home. Soft, bendable pegs simulate a barrier. The snake's eyes are temporarily covered. Snakes move on a path that intercepts the barrier & the result is "reminiscent of matter-wave diffraction of subatomic particles."

Some species of jackfish (genus Caranx) are known to wear jellyfish as 'helmets'. They build up tolerance to the jellyfish's toxins & use the stinging tentacles as a defense against predation. It's unclear if the jellyfish also benefits from fish-based propulsion. (📷: Chris Gug, Gug Underwater)

Specifically, they're employing 'aposematism' (threat display), rare in such a small animal. They also use their bold colors & loud noises to advertise THREAT & their response to larger animals is to run /towards/them. If cornered, they will attack with a surprising ferocity.

It's this protein that makes possible what Weis-Fogh called "clap and fling" insect flight: motion at incredible speed with almost perfect recoil, generating almost no heat. It's also at the root of our little flea's jumping super-powers. Humans don't make resilin, but we're trying to fix that...

Screech owls fully replace their feathers every year, usually in late summer & are known for "catastrophic" molting where they lose non-flight feathers in big patches all at once. So Sassafras here gets to go through an 'awkward haircut' phase for a few weeks every year.

The Green Broadbill is such a cute little guy, and he does such a convincing impression of brilliant emerald green that I'm willing to just play along. But in my heart of hearts, I know I'm looking at a yellow bird who likes to *pretend* to be Kermit-colored.

Karl's shell is also well-adapted to the Life Aquatic, with softer leathery skin like a freshwater softshell turtle, but with the high dome characteristic of ocean dwellers. But it's this last detail that I find most intriguing, and I'll let David Attenborough demonstrate it...

Craig & Mark's brand-new story is now out in Kindle & paperback, and Paul Maloney also has updates there as well. In other news, I've started writing a new MM age-gap romance but heaven alone knows what the title is, LOL! 😁 #writinglife #mmromance

NEW PODCAST - Cyber Insurance Blind Spots Only 15% of successful cyber attacks ever become public. The other 85% are absorbed quietly: ransomware payments, data exfiltrations, and business interruptions, often at the direct request of the breached organization. That silence has a cost.
