An adult scrub cricket (Phaneroptera falcata) photographed with my iPhone 15 Pro and a lens over the main camera so I could focus close. I like the effect achieved by the shallow depth of field.

Un grillo de matorral adulto (Phaneroptera falcata) fotografiado con mi iPhone 15 Pro y una lente sobre la cámara principal para poder enfocar de cerca. Me gusta el efecto conseguido por la escasa profundidad de campo.

Eine ausgewachsene Laubheuschrecke (Phaneroptera falcata), fotografiert mit meinem iPhone 15 Pro und einem Objektiv über der Hauptkamera, um nah heran zu kommen. Mir gefällt der Effekt, der durch die geringe Schärfentiefe erzielt wird.

It’s heroic, hardy and less than a millimetre long: meet the 2025 invertebrate of the year.

If you’re seeking inspiration from a figure of strength who is also strangely cute then look no further than the winner of 2025: Milnesium tardigradum, a microscopic multisegmented animal that resembles a piglet wrapped in an enormous duvet.

Here’s a critter you might not recognize: the ring-tailed vontsira (Galidia elegans)! Found in the forests of Madagascar, this small carnivore weighs up to 2 lbs (0.91 kg) and has a varied diet that includes insects, eggs, fish, and small mammals. The ring-tailed vontsira is an agile critter, an excellent climber, and is known to be playful.

#Arum plants start to flower. At the right Arum maculatum + Arum immaculatum (more in alt txt). Birds eat the seeds at the edge of the forest and plant them with their droppings into the gardens.

Happy #caturday everyone. Here is Jasper letting me know he threw up his breakfast. He always comes to me after he throws up and wants to cuddle. I guess it’s his way of letting me know. Thankfully he rarely makes it far from his bowl so clean up is usually easy. However this morning he puked right into a heating register. 🙄
