I post cool things that I find in the forest. 🌳 Unreliable identifier of mushrooms, plants and insects. Photos by me. She/her.

I just removed a tick for the first time with this tool. It indeed works perfectly even for the tiniest ticks. It pulled it off in one piece and alive. Thanks again for the tip.

Absolutely! This part of the forest is so full of mushrooms, it’s seriously hard to find a place to put my feet. I walk slowly and avoid stepping on mushrooms as much as possible but it’s like a mushroom carpet right now.

I bet the raw milk people eat their raw vegetables unwashed out of principle.

A lovely coral fungus growing out of the side of a rotten log. Maybe Ramaria stricta.

A funnel shaped orange mushroom with velvet like top seen from the side between leaves and an acorn cap. Nice sunny forest in the background.

Metallyticus splendidus, the famous Metal mantis, is absurdly iridescent. Something that is extremely rare in mantids. The wings can appear metallic red or green depending on the angle. #mantis #insects #wildlife #nature #prayingmantis

Amazing photos!

Absolutely a top 5 praying mantis (and that is saying something because they’re all extremely cool).
Seems challenging for a predator to have the stealth of a disco ball.

Waxlip orchid ((Glossodia / Caladenia major) with sundew (Drosera sp. - probably D. auriculata) near Mallacoota,VIC. Lots of both sundews and orchids out here in coastal heathland heading into spring - but hot/dry weather since then has seen both suffer a bit in recent weeks #orchids #sundews

I can't remember if I properly introduced this creature, but this is my original creature/cryptid, Inkcap Beast, that I created for Creatuanuary 2019.

Wow! I’ve never seen anything like that first one. Are the black things the thallus and the red things sporangia?
