A mini Welsh dragon? Not quite, just a small Anystid mite in Wales, briefly interrupted while it was hunting a springtail.

#Anystidae #Invert #bugsky🌿

A high-resolution macrophotograph of a vivid red Anystid mite walking across a pale green leaf. The mite's glossy, rounded body and long legs are sharply in focus, showing delicate white setae (hairs) on its limbs and body. The surface of the leaf is finely textured, almost velvety, and a slightly blurred green stem or vein runs diagonally across the upper part of the image. The contrast between the mite’s bright red coloring and the soft green background creates a striking visual. The photo captures the mite mid-motion, its legs splayed out naturally as it moves. This species is a fast-moving predatory mite, often seen darting across vegetation. The image is taken in natural light, highlighting fine details.

Well, it's official. After our paper last year (onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....), the Slender-billed Curlew is officially declared Extinct today.

Scientists dream of describing new species, not writing their obituary and epitaph, knowing that they are gone forever #ornithology

Has anyone seen and identified these large (~10mm) male araneids before? Longitudinal fovea, shoulder horns and stout tibia II with a distal pair of spines.

Not many araneids have large males so that narrows down quite a bit. Specimens found in Singapore.

⚡Shocking truth⚡ about fish lice:
I've written a post about Dolops discoidalis, a species of fish louse which also happens to be the first ectoparasite to be documented from the electric eel 🧪

A tiny moth, barely bigger than a rice grain, from the Mojave Desert. The curved "horns" are mouthparts, the labial palps. They help the moth both taste and smell - including being sensitive to changes in CO2 levels. I think they make the moth look like a mythological creature up close. 🐙🌿

A macro photo of a ghostly white moth on almost-white sand. The moth is seen from a front 3/4 angle; only the face and part of one antenna are in focus, and the back third of the body is out of frame. The moth has long, backward curving mouthparts called labial palps that look a bit like the curved horns of a mountain goat.

A textbook image I did a few years ago showing a trap-jaw ant (Odontomachus rixosus) with her mandibles held open and trigger hairs forward, and then in the closed position.

The snapping shut of the trap is one of the fastest measured animal movements.

A split-screen image showing (top) a face view of an elongated ant standing on a reflective surfave, facing us with toothy brown jaws held 180 degrees open, and (bottom), the same ant with jaws closed, the bluntly toothed tips held together.
