A female/young American Goldfinch pauses for a moment before heading out to join the rest of the flock.

i saw this a few days, my favorite part was how you can watch the plants around it moving around to catch the sunlight as the daytime passes

A fuzzy blue spider with longer white hairs scattered throughout its blue fuzz. It is standing on mossy rocks.

We found this handsome blue tarantula just wandering down a trail in the Andes Mountains of Colombia. This genus of tarantula is popular in the pet trade, which may put pressure on wild populations. #Arachtober

The funny thing about the invention of the wheel is the guy who invented it died penniless. It wasn't until much much later that pennies were invented

Hello, people of bluesky, if you are just joining us—here is an old comic I made about Dracula

A cartoon illustration of a vampire at an organ talking to another vampire. Caption reads "I really only know 'chopsticks' I'm embarrassed to say. But it's a very spooky 'chopsticks' in my opinion."

Chops. #grickledoodle #vampire #music #halloween #horror #cartoon #art #drawing #funny

Chonky black and yellow bumblebee-like robberfly, chilling on a green oak leaf. Side view

Close shot of the creature's face; big black compound eyes and a yellow "beard" nearly covering the face

Very close shot put the creature's point yellow face floof. It's almost like a lion's mane

Close shot of one of the creature's feets, black with two claws and little orange flappy pads behind them

Just your normal classic bumblebee with the normal number of wings and totally a vegetarian, don't worry about it

(bumblebee mimic robberfly, of course 🖤)

Mulder in a diner eating pie and saying: You ever had the suspicion that you've been abducted by aliens?

A spider hanging upside down and holding a net between its front 4 legs. It has a pair of very large forward facing eyes. There is a branch to the right of the spider.

Ogre-faced Net-casting Spiders dangle upside watching for prey and fling a net forward to catch it. The spider has great night vision due to a light sensing membrane that forms in their eyes each night - since they have no irises, the membrane is destroyed at dawn. #Arachtober

Something I love about archival films is that when someone had a couple feet of film left on a roll they'd often use it to film their cat. So many films finish with a few seconds of cats

So, here's some cats from the 1950s and 60s. They were loved
