Bifurcated red worm I found in the container I use to feed my axolotls. Happy to say he’s been spared and will be bred to hopefully make some mini-hydras. Will update!

That's cool! But I'm not a Worm Person so idk how rare this is! Paging @crevicedwelling

they’re aquatic gastropods and not terrestrial but can we get some rabbit snail love?

BIG fan of rabbit snails. I got one for my aquarium a while back but it's been missing in action for a while. Hope it's okay and just hiding amongst the many many many plants. Anyhoo here's a wild one to admire:

Found this centipede in the shower, she’s not dead, just tired.

would it be possible to ID? I live in Mid-Eastern US, and she is about 2 and a half inches long.

Looks to me like an eastern bark centipede, Hemiscolopendra marginata. Very cute and leggy! And I'm glad she didn't perish in the shower :)

Something to ease the minds in this trying time

Absolute unit of a grasshopper I found :DDD

Large and powerful! 10/10....NAY! 11/10

if there is 1,460 days in a term, and we are 174 days in, then we can divide 174 by 1,460 to figure out that we are about 12% complete

Good to see you didn’t procrastinate this answer my friend

some news that I think should be shared Bolivians allied with former president Evo Morales and the Movement for Socialism have engaged in nationwide protests (AP News)

The US government has recently indicted Cuban revolutionary Raul Castro, intensifying pressures on Cuba and potentially manufacturing consent for foreign interference (AP News)

The Trump administration has lifted the ban on cyanide bombs to kill animals (Humane world for animals)

for some reason tumblr hates me and won’t let me post links, but those sources should have the information

important news on 969 (nice) days left

what do we consider limits for bug? Is just true bug bug? Is just insect bug? What about other arthropods, like lobsters and millipedes and scorpions? Do barnacles count too? Then what about tardigrades and velvet worms? What about snails and slugs? If slugs and snails then do clams and squids count? Obviously earthworms are bugs then, but are all worms? What about planarians and nematodes and all the other wormies??? Do lampreys count then? Where does it end?????? Where do buggies ends? Are armadillos bugsses? Are hummingbirds? Are we? Waow, modern philosophy is fascinating.

It's arbitrary since "bug" can mean all kinds of things depending on who you ask. For my blog, I include insects, arachnids, myriapods, woodlice/terrestrial isopods, terrestrial annelids and terrestrial flatworms, velvet worms, and terrestrial gastropods. Maybe a few other things I'm forgetting. I don't include marine inverts, or microscopic stuff.
