Fondly remembering Bruce, my (female) giant Asian mantis.

Enough already ... Alcoa must be stopped.
The only place in the world where Jarrahs are native ... habitat for myriad species of plants, birds, invertebrates, reptiles, fungi, all unique to SW WA and the WA Govt is allowing Alcoa to permanently destroy it.

The only way to protect the jarrah forest is to stop Alcoa and end forest mining.

sorry, final point on that—are any of these invertebrates aware of where the name stonewall comes from?

Politicians are largely all spineless, loathsome invertebrates. You vote the least unpleasant ones in and then harrangue them nonstop to get actual meaningful change.

Today in marine invertebrates
For World Jellyfish Day I am sharing self-taught trail-blazing Irish #marineBiologist Maude Delap (1866 – 1953), 1st to successfully breed jellyfish in captivity & document their full lifecycle. 🧪🐡👩🏼🔬 🪼 She is surrounded by blue #jellyfish (Cyanea lamarckii) life stages based on her diagrams.
