Water striders spend most of their lives on the water's surface. Tiny hairs on their legs and feet repel water and allow them to run on the surface. #WaterStriders #TrueBugs #Gerridae #insects #macro #photography #Arizona

"Never before in human history has there been a more urgent need to understand living systems & how they interact with each other and the environment" Check out this blog from the 'wild frontiers of model organisms' symposium, inc on the importance of TREC's approach of taking the lab to the field

Well, mosquitos feed birds, bats, spiders, frogs, fish etc. But also, it’s ALL flying insects: pollinators, butterflies, dragonflies, moths, wasps, gnats, flies, waterstriders etc: all food for others along the chain including us

It’s nice to not get bitten as much, but this is also apocalyptical

I attended the exciting symposium organized by @floravincent.bsky.social @mwdorr.bsky.social, @nicoledubilier.bsky.social, @gautamdey.bsky.social & Susanna Coelho

LOTs of takeaways from the Symposium (from biology to climate change)

🚨Here are a few important ones in my listicle below 👇

I mean like no cockroaches or like giant waterstriders but this is mosquito and gnat swarm erasure

I think the volume of images is a really huge factor. Emmett Till’s open casket definitely moved the needle but that is because the pool of images was small enough for the horror to register. But now we’ve been trained to quickly slip over the surface of an ocean of images like waterstriders.

Goodnight, dear Hookland. Thank you for the suggestion of taking the day off to wander around and just be in love with solstice. I watched tadpoles and waterstriders in a friend's pond for a long while, then processed herbs, remembering to be in time rather than out of it.

strange ID request for nature bsky: I occasionally see this fast swirling pattern in a slow-moving creek by me (NH). puzzling cause it looks pretty strong and intentional but *I can't see what's causing it* no matter how hard I watch! but I can easily see waterstriders and other small critters!

In an epic battle, two #waterstriders pummel each other with concentric ripples. This went on for several minutes, each appeared to be focused on the other. A third on the left remains suspiciously quiet.

Getting reports the bats are skimming the top of the pond, I assume for waterstriders? Gonna learn

Rohilla: gorgeous talk looking at waterstriders - about 50% of the time they successfully recapture energy from vortexes left behind by leading legs. It’s complicated! #SICB2024

Thousands of baby waterstriders. Seen against the low sun, the lake's surface trembles under a rain of tiny feet.
