In the United States, spadefootatx saw this Sierra Garter Snake (Thamnophis couchii) eating a Sierra Newt (Taricha sierrae), and it's our #TwoferTuesday Observation of the Day!

This is unbelievably exciting for me! I’ve sampled at dusk before, but this is the first time I’ve found krill (Euphausiacea)!!! I’ve identified this individual as Nyctiphanes couchii, which is a coastal species common in the southern North Sea.

It’s Thamnophis Thursday! Oh blessed day to all who celebrate! Here is a Sierra Gartersnake (T. couchii) shortly after funking me up to high heaven. Love these “muddy” looking beauties. Madera County, CA. #herps #gartersnakes #thamnophisthursday #snakes #thamnophis

Couch's Spadefoot (Scaphiopus couchii). These wonderful, chunky amphibians spend most of the year underground, and emerge when it rains. Since water doesn't last long in their desert habitat, their tadpoles complete metamorphosis quickly, sometimes in as little as nine days. (Arizona)🌿🐸 #amphibians
A closeup photo, in profile, of a spadefoot, aka spadefoot toad. It is bright yellow mottled with dark splotches above, and has a pale belly and throat. The photo features its large eye, which is brilliant yellow with a network of black veining and a black, vertical pupil.

The Couch’s Spadefoot Toad (Scaphiopus couchii) is named after Darius N. Couch who found the first specimen, not after their love of couches.

A Couch's Spadefoot Toad (Scaphiopus couchii), common in deserts and grasslands in SW USA & Mexico. She's been digging in the soil a bit - a sickle-shaped 'spade' of hard tissue on the hind feet helps them to burrow underground during dry periods. From Coahuila, MX this summer. #frogfriday #herps
A heavy-bodied toad on sandy soil, arms and legs akimbo. Her body color is a pale yellowish green, with faint criss-crossing reticulations of a dark green. Her eyes are large and bulbous, with black pupils and yellowish-green irises.

1. ANA Flying Honu.

ANA has three turtle-painted A380s, and all three fly between Tokyo Narita and Honolulu.

The 520-seat layout has four cabins. Couchii rows turn three or four economy seats into a padded platform. ANA built an entire superjumbo subfleet just for Hawaii.

This little guy came out after irrigating last night, hope some insects are around! Couch’s Spadefoot (Scaphiopus couchii) is my guess?
Tiny 1.5” grey & green toad next to mesquite beans, pebbles & a bird feather.

I really love ANA's COUCHii, pretty much the same concept. Unfortunately it's only available on A380, meaning it's only on NRT-HNL route. Would love to see this coming to more airlines/routes.

United just pulled a One More Thing move at this event. Did not see it coming.

United is rolling out Skycouch, dubbed the United Relax Row. Not a new concept, where a trio of economy seats have a flip out section to transform into a sort of bed, but new in the US market. Coming to United in 2027.

A highlight of my year was attending a Spider Biology Field Course at the Southwestern Research Station in Arizona. Here are four nighttime shots from that amazing week: an Arizona blond tarantula; a Couch's spadefoot toad; a stick insect on a creosote bush; a sleeping male longhorn bee at night.
A closeup lateral portrait of the head of a very fuzzy brown tarantula (Arizona blond tarantula, Aphonopelma chalcodes). A profile closeup portrait of a greenish-yellow and brown mottled toad, with a large yellow and black-veined eye. It's a Couch's spadefoot toad (Scaphiopus couchii). A photo, vertical orientation, of a lime-green stick insect clinging head down to a branch of a lime-green creosote bush, at night. A macro photo, vertical orientation, of a fuzzy gray bee clinging head-down to a dead thin stem, against a pure black background. The bee has long orange antennae and green compound eyes. It is gripping the top of the stem in its mandibles, and has its abdomen curled over the stem's top.

Anemonas tomadas ayer en #Torrevieja.
Creemos que son Aiptasia Mutabilis, porque son más comunes, aunque también podrían ser Aiptasia Couchii, que son extremadamente difíciles de diferenciar.
¿Cuál crees tu que es?

Merlin ID'd 30 different kinds of birds here for me this morning! One was this - Couch's Kingbird. I've never heard of it! It's unusual, apparently, up here where I am. Wish I had seen it!
Tyrranus couchii. Love it.

Couch's Kingbird
This Texas specialty is almost identical to the Tropical Kingbird, and was considered a race of that species until the 1980s. However, their voices are quite different, and they live side by side in.....

Past few days, near the water in an old structure, there were some kingbirds supervising 😂!

A Couch's Kingbird (Tyrannus couchii) or Tirano Cricríin Spanish.

Found from southern Texas in the USA, across the Gulf of Mexico, to the jungles of Belize and the Izabal region of Guatemala.

#birds
A kingbird is perched on top of a concrete-filled, white-colored tube. The bird displays its distinctive lemon yellow belly and breast plumage, which gradually shifts to a lime tone toward the lower tail. Its head is striking, with a dirty white color on the throat and a diffuse black band running from the beak to the eyes. The back has an olive tone, while the wings are black with green edged feathers. The beak and eyes are black, with the upper beak showing a dusty black hue.

Be warned! The Newts vs. Garter Snakes involves different species of newt and garter snake. There are several articles on the subject.

一度乗ってみたいですが、ハイシーズンは航空券もカウチの追加料金も高いですし、ローシーズンに長期の休みは取れず､､､フライングホヌに乗るためだけにハワイに行くのももったいないですし、難しいなぁ。
