Below freezing at noon today in East Yorkshire, so a good excuse (like one is needed!) to revisit the Snow Fleas (Boreus hyemalis). ❄️ Photo nicely shows the male's vestigial wings, which he hooks over the female's front legs when mating (she is on top). #Mecoptera #ento #ukwildlife #Boreus

Snow Fleas! The first Boreus hyemalis of the winter starting to appear on moss-covered, sandy grassland in East Yorkshire. They start out yellow before assuming the shiny bronze of adults. Hopefully we'll get some snow this winter and see them out and about on top. #ento #UKwildlife #Mecoptera

Van niet alle kandidaten voor de verkiezing #InsectVanHetJaar heb ik foto's, maar wel van dit prachtige dier: de sneeuwspringer (Boreus hyemalis). Een man, te herkennen aan de tot boogvormige haken vervormde vleugels (en het gebrek aan ovipositor). #ElkeDagEenInsect

Latest #AspectsOfAurum Playmat Is Ready To Be Shown Off!

This piece was an absolute joy to put together and I am VERY happy to call it complete. I should be receiving the test product within the next few weeks

Boreus, a colossal, ancient robot covered in foliage and rust gently reaches out to Krie, an avian anthro explorer. They share a somewhat tender touch as the environment behind them embraces the ruins with plant life similar to that which decorates Boreus.

Here is your Saturday Smiling Scorpion. It's a Northern Scorpion, Paruroctonus boreus, in Montana's Pryor Mountains. They're Montana's only scorpion, and even range up into Canada. This one posed quite nicely - I love how it daintily held its pincers almost but not quite touching. 🐙🌿 #arachnids
A macro photo looking straight into the face of a scorpion on pale orange sand. The scorpion has a dark gray body with lighter bands, and orange legs and pincers. It kind of looks like it's smiling.

My first Snow Flea (Boreus hyemalis) of the winter at Cali Heath @yorkswildlife.bsky.social reserve today. Nice of her to pose out in the open on a fallen leaf, so didn't need to spend hours waiting for one to emerge from the Polytrichum moss! @ynuorg.bsky.social #Mecoptera #Boreidae #ukwildlife
A female Snow Flea posing on a fallen leaf on acid grassland. One of the Mecoptera order, like scorpionflies, but flightless, living down among short, Polytrichum mosses on sandy soil.

1/2 #speciesaday no. 500 is Snow Flea (Boreus hyemalis). Not a flea but a mecopteran (same order as the scorpion-flies). Winter-active, I have seen them only twice in 2019 when I went with Tony to find them in the Wyre Forest in Feb, then stumbled on 1 in the suction sampler in the Roaches that Dec.

Yay! And Boreus season in the Yukon is starting up soon! They love to walk over the snow when the temperature is just above freezing...

On today's episode of Moss Makeover, a moss-covered boulder gets brushed by an entomologist who decided to take a quick look for Boreus snow scorpionflies during a fishing trip. Sadly she did not find any Boreus but this moss looks really great. #entomology #mecoptera #Alaska 🧪
A woman is standing next to a mossy boulder holding a white tray with one hand and raking the moss with her fingers using the other hand. The landscape is springtime in an Alaska coastal rainforest; some snow patches remain and the trees haven't yet leafed out but the moss is very green.

Last wildlife group meeting of the year near Shelve - high quality catches including male and female Snow-fleas, Boreus hyemalis, (my 1st for 2 years), the big rove Ontholestes tessellatus and the Lesser Thorn-tipped Longhorn, Pogonocherus hispidus. #ukwildlife #inverts #insects
Female Snow-flea, Boreus hyemalis, not a flea, a wingless scorpionfly (obviously neither fly nor scorpion). They seem to like thick stands of Polytrichum formosum moss. In America Snow-fleas are apparently a kind of springtail. That's all clear then. Big chunky rove beetle Ontholestes tessellatus. New one for me. Apparently they leg it quickly if you find them in summer but it was sluggish in the cold. Lesser Thorn-tipped Longhorn, Pogonocherus hispidus. Dark scutellum distinguishes it from the slightly larger P hispidulus

Another card for #AspectsofAurum! This one is inspired by The Giant by NC Wyeth, one of my favorite paintings.
An Aspects of Aurum card featuring a giant automaton emerging from a mountain range. It looks old and damaged with trees and water cascading down its body. The text on the card reads: Boreus, Ancient Colossus Unit - Construct Evoker Leader. You may play an additional node each turn. Boreus, Ancient Colossus has +1 attack and +1 defense for each node you control. Boreus, Ancient Colossus enters play exhausted.

For the first #AspectsOfAurum Seeds of Ascension starter deck, we are showing off Boreus, a deck that cares about getting lots of nodes in play with BIG payoffs. And to make sure you can reach those big finishers there’s lifegain along the way
