Look again! That's a common baron caterpillar (Euthalia aconthea) sitting on its favorite food source, a mango leaf. This little guy, native to India & Sri Lanka, has perfect camouflage so long as it stays perfectly centered on the leaf's midrib. (📷: SatyamRajput004)

Toby the African pygmy falcon (Polihierax semitorquatus) is taking a dust bath at the Cincinnati Zoo. Birds secrete oil from a uropygial gland ('preen gland') that is antimicrobial, conditions & adds waterproofing. A dust bath helps remove this oil so a fresh layer can be applied.

Sassafras just turned 12, and celebrates with a mealworm snack. Eastern Screech Owls in captivity typically live to 20, with Wesley the Screech Owl at the Cornell Raptor program reaching 26. Many more, little buddy! 🦉🎂

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)

Here's what that looks like in motion. Green indicates the original trajectory. The profound finding here is that 'self-propelled, wave-like biological locomotion can be understood through the physical wave-equation frameworks', which has implications for robotic locomotion design.

Here's a slower version with a compact crocodilian. Note that the limbs are tucked to the body & the leverage comes from the neck and tail working against each other. This is purely instinctual & baby gators can do this from birth. It gets less cute as they grow 😬

Fleas can jump 200 times their height & 150 times their length. The human equivalent would be the ability to jump over the Eiffel Tower. Let's talk about the specialized super-protein behind their leaps: RESILIN. (📷: Gregory Sutton, Univ of Lincoln, UK)

False dichotomy.

This definitely forbidden gummy is in fact a moth larva of genus Olona (possibly Olona zolotuhini). It's *normal* to want to know what flavor it is, but the answer, unfortunately is "pain". Most species in this family are covered in tiny stinging spines connected to poison glands. (📷: Janice Ang)

When these cosmic ripples pass through Earth, they stretch & squeeze everything, including the laser & detectors on their long tracks. But the movement is incredibly tiny. LIGO must measure a change in its 2.5-mile arms smaller than one-ten-thousandth the width of a single proton.

The strongest army in Europe isn't NATO's biggest spender. It's Ukraine. Marco Rubio: Russia loses five soldiers a month for every Ukrainian. His conclusion — Ukraine is currently the strongest military force on the continent. Not the largest. The strongest.
