about me:

I'm a college freshman studying wildlife biology and entomology. I love anything related to this, as well as horror movies, video games, & dnd! i follow back from @biamondpickaxe but I'm more active on @spiderweb-bf so i consider that my "main" blog

dni:

typical dni criteria (terfs, transmeds, pro-ana/thinspo, pro-trump, etc) ecofascists, anti-vegans (you can be critical of veganism but not outright against it, I'm vegan so that probably wouldn't work out well for either of us), climate change deniers etc. if you stand against human rights or are generally an asshole I'll block you

men shouldn't be allowed to have hobbies because when they do they pour molten aluminum into ant colonies

i know that there’s a big movement around making gardens animal-friendly and planting native plants. which is GREAT! but it can be a little overwhelming to get started. if you don’t know where to start, check out audubon’s native plant tool here. you just put in your zip code and it shows you native plants for your area, and you can sort by drought hardy, bird attractant, etc. it’s a great tool and it’s free!

Absolutely precious pseudoscorpion!!

[image description: the image is a short video of an arachnid. It has a pearly white body that is round, fat, and has small legs on both sides. The body looks somewhat like a shiny tick. On the front of the pseudo scorpion are two bright red pincers that it waves as it crawls. The background is the soft white ridges of a morel mushroom with dark specks of dirt. End description.]

How the Brainless Slime Mold Stores Memories

New research finds the organism can remember the location of food by altering the diameter of the creeping tendrils it uses to explore its surroundings

Although I admire the resourcefulness of the boat-tailed grackles hopping around parking lots and eating discarded french fries, there’s something truly special about seeing this bird out in nature where it belongs. You must admit he cuts quite a striking silhouette against the marsh.
