Objects come in specific size increments: golf ball, softball, basketball, capybara, Volkswagen Beetle.
Scientists have discovered a tiny blue octopus lurking beneath the waters near the Galápagos Islands.
About the size of a golf ball, the newly identified deep-sea species was found nearly 1,800 meters below the surface during an expedition in the Pacific Ocean.

Psiloptera attenuata is a jewel beetle, Buprestidae. This metallic green beetle can reach 37mm (1.5 inches)of length. Some jewel beetles are known to be used as ornaments by indigenous tribes, there is no specific information about Psiloptera attenuata being used in this way. Brazil. 🧪

Not a fan of the giant beetle, but I like him more than the human who seems to be hurting him for no specific reason.

This lady beetle stayed on my hat for about 6 hrs. We took her with us to lunch! Anyone know the taxonomy for this specific lady beetle? Stateofthestateparks.com

Keep forgetting to show them off here, but figured I might as well post my new "me" sonas (for lack of a better term, idk if there is one) over here, since Dyto's already popped up once already.

A top 12 from '23, each chosen for a specific reason. One: A little bear beetle (Paracotalpa ursina) from Carrizo Plain, CA. It's an example of a common happenstance in macro - surprises you only notice later on your computer. See the wee springtail below the beetle? 🌿🐙#InverteFest (1/12)

sometimes i wish i had studied some wildly specific scientific topic, so I could know more about like, the Argentinian flat-leaf variegated tree beetle than anyone else on the planet, besides my enemy and former lover, phil

i feel like it bears noting that the funniest thing about beetle moses' comics is the way people are rendered like wikihow stock photos with weirdly specific details

More leaf litter samples, here’s an interesting looking larva of a netwing beetle 🤔Not sure if there is a more specific ID.

An analogy that occurred to me today after reading yet another beautifully written [but ultimately pointless] piece about "*this* is *my* Christianity" is that "Christian" is as useful an identifier for an individual's beliefs/ethics/behavior as "Arthropod" is for identifying a specific beetle

Here's an Asian lady beetle (Harmonia axyridis), but check its posterior. Those green filaments are parasitic "beetle hanger" fungi, Hesperomyces harmoniae. Transmitted only by prolonged physical contact, it's basically a species-specific STD. #entomology #backyardnature #mycology

this hits me in such a specific way and I really needed it? I'm going to keep wearing my tail in public thank you beetle moses.

The Darkmoon Faire is back and Rue has a quest for anyone skilled enough to win a specific Elekk plush from one of the Faire games. The reward is an acorn and a half (the second is a just a cap), a half eaten cookie, and a cool jewel beetle named Pippy.

Carphurus sp.
This soft-wing flower beetle was an interesting visitor to our moth light. I haven’t yet been able to determine what species this one is but it appears to be a WA specific species.
This genus is found in Australia & PNG

@ericanadolski.bsky.social et al. present sex-specific chromosomal-level genome assemblies of the southern African beetle Onthophagus binodis; analyses show that the nine autosomes and the X chromosome are likely conserved throughout Onthophagini.
