#entofashion fans, someone please buy this XS insect themed jumpsuit so that I may live vicariously through you. My corporeal husk is too large to fit, otherwise I would be rocking this thing so hard! #bugsky posh.mk/MRVngoaDX4b

My four favourite facts about the cockchafer beetle: 1. It's called a cockchafer beetle. 2. It’s also sometimes known as a “billywitch”. 3. It’s unusually loud and clumsy by beetle standards and bangs into lots of things when it flies into your house by mistake. 4. It looks like this, close up.

A cockchafer beetle, demonstrating its talent for multitasking by showing us its pad while also listening with great sympathy to our problems.

The compression gloves are great for bench work, I always wear a pair under my latex gloves (bonus, they absorb the hand sweat and then you can wash them, it makes the sensory experience a lot better for me too)

this is a catastrophe and he will do harm, and only harm, to those living with disabilities

In bad news, with disability education oversight being moved to the Department of Health and Human Services from the Department of Education, that means Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will have power over disability policy positions. New from me at @motherjones.com www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Clockwise from top left: Nectopsyche sp. - White Miller Caddisfly Petrophila jaliscalis - Jalisco Petrophila Cyllopsis gemma - Eastern Gemmed-Satyr Cerastipsocus trifasciatus - Barklouse maybe the depicted salticid is at a low anterior angle: how real jumpers may encounter another face-to-face?

4 images of insects that each depict a portrait of a jumping spider: Top left is a caddisfly with markings that look like a yellow jumping spider with dark eyes. Top right is a moth that looks like a warm colored jumper with a pale face. Bottom right is the distal portion of a butterfly's wing that looks like the face of a jumping spider. Bottom left is a barklouse with wings that have dark patterns that look like the legs of a jumping spider. Who is the intended audience of these patterns and why? Surely a little human pareidolia is at play here too... Best viewed small!
