๐ Phylum Friday: Bryozoa! ๐
These small colonial organisms are usually found encrusting rocks or blending in with algae. However, many of the species found in New England are invasive, and have become a concern for intertidal and subtidal ecosystems as they encrust and out-compete native species.

Hey #WormWednesday, this is relevant to our interest!
Check out the free(!), fabulous invertebrate ebook, plan on contributing to the next, and marvel at the stunning cover @franzanth.bsky.social has made (which I *need* as a poster or book cover or something)
@annelouiseavery.bsky.social , look at this beautiful art!
Made me think of your book ๐คฉ
Ah, ok - thank you!

(how can something so small be SO LOUND?)
Such a huge difference, the now looks sooo much better!
Do you have pumps in your ponds, or are the plants enough for aeration?
Take a break from the summer heat and check out the beautiful images and stories from Luis and @joanjsoto.bsky.social 's Antarctic adventure!

Is this a stacked image, or single shot? How big (or small!) are these guys?

An insect with a short body and long abdomen, like a dragonfly. It has four wings and is holding them raised over the body. The ant lion is on a wall of the garage, but the photo is rotated to show it like its sitting on a white surface.
Ant Lion that we found hanging out in @crytzerfry.bsky.social garage. These insects are mostly known for their predatory larva which build sand pits to trap passing insects, like ants. Ecology of adults is understudied and not well know.

A narrow, tiny (10? cm) aquarium with rounded bottom made in acrylic. Image snagged from the website, which is https://www.frederiksen-scientific.no/produkt/demonstrasjonskyvette/761550
Oh wow, they look stunning though!
Re: photos of small fish, this little gadget is one of my favourite things to have in the field (or at outreach events) - it's like the smallest little aquarium!
If anyone cross-stitches this, I want to see it!
(very cool #PixelArt!)

Ok, this is a delightful read *cackles*
And I repeat, please come to Bergen later, Ursula!
We have more whales, less poop!
(though I agree with Sven's vision regarding birds!)
Safe travels! I was really, really hoping you would come to Bergen as well, but lucky Oslo then! Maybe next time? Would happily show you the city (and the natural History Museum!).
Hope you get to see many nice things and meet cool people (and animals!).

The last, much participated edition of our Community Meeting is just behind us.
Rutger Vos presented our Gap List: an updated list of the animal species that occur in Europe according to various taxonomic databases: iboleurope.org/launch-of-ib...
Fitting for #MolluscMonday!
(bonus #ILOVEBHL tagging!)
(though I'm annoyed at Flickr for insisting I sign up to browse your content there now)
Oof! :( But a good read! There's a link to the pdf in the comments.
