My Huernia zebrina, a succulent from Southern Africa, finally bloomed!

Like their close cousins, the carrion plants, another group of African succulents, they have a vague dead animal smell, and are pollinated by flies. One of the common names for this plant is the little owl.

Bow before Z. rex! 🦐 Better known as the emperor shrimp (Zenopontonia rex), this tiny crustacean can be found throughout tropical waters in the Indo-Pacific. Notice its colorful “throne?” This species is a hitchhiker that can most often be found riding on the backs of marine organisms like sea cucumbers and nudibranchs! Thanks to this living arrangement, the shrimp is able to move from location to location with ease and can more effectively avoid predators. What’s in it for the nudibranchs and sea cucumbers? Scientists think the emperor shrimp might “clean” its hosts by removing harmful parasites, but this has yet to be determined.

Mississippian Hand and Eye

The cultures that thrived along the Mississippi River from 800 to 1600 CE, used a beautiful motif that I’m obsessed with. A hand with an eye. Anthropologists believe it represented a doorway to the milky way, which souls travel after death. It’s often depicted around entwined rattlesnakes, representing the rulers of the underworld, which the soul must escape along its journey. The hand eye also represents the constellation european cultures refer to as Orion.
