My brain immediately autocompleted googly eyes on this muppet caterpillar.

I assume they gave the lolly because you were brave while they pierced your ears?

Baby sparrow demands to be fed by mum, even though the food is right in front op him. Kids these days... 😉

It’s fine, it’s edible even. I’ve never eaten one because they look cool and I prefer to leave them intact. But this one is harmless, just very large.

Het voordeel is: als ze er staan, dan zijn ze ook niet te missen! 😄

Mooie zonnige foto!

Ik had niks anders bij me als maatreferentie, behalve mezelf :)

Honestly a bit curious if a mushroom like this will trigger the moderation system.

Possibly a rosy bonnet.

A pink mushroom viewed from above. It looks like it belongs on a human chest.

Large parasol mushroom.

A large mushroom next to my legs in hiking boots. The mushroom reaches to halfway up my shins. Its cap is the size of a dinner plate.

Would you believe this spindly guy is an assassin bug? I picked him up initially thinking he was a phasmid…then I got a closer look at the face and saw the rostrum, and the raptorial forelimbs started to make sense! He's a member of emesinae, a reduviid subfamily I didn't know about before!

Nice! You can be proud of that. It’s not easy to overcome such a deeply baked in aversion.

Doesn’t quite look like a slime mold to me, did you touch it by any chance? That usually helps to tell slimes from fungi.
I think this might be something like Dacrymyces stillatus. I see them on trees in the Netherlands and they can be very bright orange.

Yesterday morning I noticed a slime mold growing in one of my aquariums. So of course I set up a timelapse camera!

Did it fruit when it came to the top? Did it grow into anything? I don’t know how aquatic slimes fruit tbh
