The “Squidworm” is believed to be a transitional organism from benthic worms to free-swimming pelagic worms. They are named Squidworms due to their tentacle-like branchiae and palps.
The giant golden-crowned flying fox (Acerodon jubatus), also known as the golden-capped fruit bat, is a rare megabat and one of the largest bats in the world. The giant golden-crowned flying fox gets its species name from the golden fur around the head, in sharp contrast to the black body.
The species is endangered and is currently facing the possibility of extinction because of poaching and forest destruction. It is endemic to forests in the Philippines. The bat can reach up to 2.6 pounds in weight and 5.6 ft in wingspan. Like other megabats, this species is non-aggressive towards humans and is frugivorous.
I will never not reblog dainty deer-stepping beetle
wanna know the best thing about these trilobite beetles?
these are all ladies.
males look like every other beetle out there, but are the same species. it was a huge mystery for the longest time what the hell a male even looked like, or if there even were males, until they issued a money reward and someone brought in a mating pair. and they couldn’t believe that they were even of the same species because of how different they look.
we have an irl species of giant monstrous ladies and tiny dainty plain males
What’s also neat is that these have the same anatomy as firefly larva, but they’re a different family sharing a common ancestor.
And in some fireflies, the same thing has happened convergently where females remain “larviform” and only the males develop wings!
There are these little tiny fuzzy bugs that are flying around my pear tree and I kind of want to call them cute but I feel like the second I do someone’s gonna tell me they’re like the spawns of satan and they sting people and kill my trees
Nevermind they’re called “Woolly Aphids” and they’re literal fairies
I feel bad for calling them evil now they’re so frickin cute
i saw one and nearly shat myself thinking it was a fairy
