No bug is ever safe from getting wasp'd! This little morsel of burnt sugar plays parasitoid leapfrog by targeting baby Dryinid wasps in order to get to the leafhopper nymphs the Dryinid was already in line for!

Siphonophores are colonial btw!!! What you're seeing is a collection of independent animals that adhere to each other in these strands

Skeleton Panda Sea Tunicate Appreciation Post!!! 💀 🐼 🌊

Clavelina ossipandae, the skeleton panda sea tunicate is a species of colonial ascidian, also known as sea tunicates, a group of sessile, marine filter-feeding invertebrates. Just some funky little guys!

First discovered near Kume Island in Japan by local divers, pictures of the animal attracted media attention in 2017. But they weren't given their formal taxonomic description until 2024

Love to sea it 🌊
