Imagine being some shitfluencer who moved to Dubai rn lol

Called the Opalescent Nudibranch, Hermassenda crassicornis is the species. It's an aggressive sea slug that will feed on tunicates & almost everything else from dead animals to jellyfish, anthozoans, crustaceans, and other Opalescent nudibranchs. Stinging cells from prey are moved to the gills.

The golden weapon and the fire shines against the darkness and smoke. Nothing can stop what is coming. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

This rather adorable Pebblebug (tribe Lipocalliini) visited our Perth Hills moth light this week. These guys are a type of planthopper (Fulgoromorpha) and can be found around Australia

george galloway serves the most utility in reminding us of turns of phrase such as "plain as a pikestaff"

A different perspective of a Torpedo Ray, a ray with the ability to stun prey with a jolt of electricity. One eye is visible but the Ampullae of Lorenzini, sweeping arc of light dots on the rt side, really stand out. They're specialized sensory pits that detect weak electric fields of prey & motion.

Our first Hawaiian Beet Webworm Moth of the year. We seem to get these moths visiting in two periods in the Perth Hills, late summer and then again in early winter

A photo of mine grabbed off the Norfolk Moths website of said species

A 2-spotted Octopus hopes that cryptic coloration & fake urchin spines will hide it from me. The spots show up when the octopus decides it isn't working then jets away. When camouflage doesn't work they seem to get angry but it could be my bias. If octopus lived long enough they could rule the seas.

Before tossing it down its hatch, this anhinga really wanted to show off the bluegill it had caught. The bird had spent several minutes beating the fish against the rocks along the shoreline in an attempt to dislodge the fish from its beak after spearing it just below the eye. #birds

A large seal resting on a rock. It has grey fur. In this shot, it is pointing its hose in the air.

In this shot, the seal is cleaning one of its flippers with its mouth.

In this show, the seal is yawning at the camera.

In this show, the seal is hanging it head downwards, as if tired of all the attention.

A highlight of the Milford Sound / Piopiotahi, New Zealand trip on 27 Dec 2025: spotting a Long-nosed Fur Seal (Arctocephalus forsteri), who wasn't impressed by the gawking tourists. :-)

In Chinese #folklore, foxes aren't just cunning. They’re alchemists of the night. By swishing their tails, they spark ghostly fires in the dark. When yearning to become spirits, they crown themselves with a human skull and bow to the Big Dipper. If the skull stays, their transformation succeeds. 1/2

Cosmodes elegans - Green-blotched Moth

These lovely moths are relatively frequent visitors to our Perth Hills garden but it’s lovely to see them every time!

These moths are native to Australia and can be seen in most areas except the NT.

Bt Corn Changes Corn Earworm Moths' Wing Shape, Possibly Boosting Migration Ability As corn earworms develop resistance to Bt corn, a new study shows adult moths have wings that are longer and stiffer, which favors long-distance migration.

As corn earworms develop resistance to corn engineered to be toxic to them, a new study shows adult moths that survive have wings that are longer and stiffer, which favors long-distance migration—potentially helping the pests spread resistance faster and undermining a key crop-protection strategy.
