Caligo, na mitologia greco-romana, é a personificação da escuridão. Estas borboletas …despertam o nosso imaginário!

On This Day – November 12-13, 1833

The Leonid meteor storm lit up the night sky across the United States, astonishing those awake to witness as between 50,000 and 150,000 meteors fell each hour. Yale professor Denison Olmsted, eager to understand the phenomenon, wrote a letter to the New …Haven Daily Herald, asking the public for any information about what they saw. Responses poured in from across the country, allowing Olmsted to crowdsource eyewitness accounts to study the meteor storm. His findings, published in 1834, marked an early example of citizen science, as Olmsted used everyday descriptions to advance our understanding of meteors.

Green Forester Moth (Adscita statices)

This shot is from way back in July and I honestly have no idea why I haven't posted it until now.. these have got to be some of my favorite native moths, their scales are just gorgeous!

Any doctor who posts something like this has an Ego / Emotional Intelligence ratio of infinity ♾️. If someone cites a degree for THE reason they’re an authority… back away

P.S. This is no more or less true for the fact that it’s being posted by someone getting his second …doctoral degree from Harvard… but it does make it funny 😆

The ever variable Mottled Umber 🍁 Swipe to the last picture ti see how different they can look. You may think it’s a male/female difference but with this species the females are actually flightless, living on tree trunks/fence posts.
A few species are like this, and can look like two …totally different moths…which makes IDs and absolute BLAST ✨ especially when you’re just starting out moth recording 😅 very beautiful moths though 🍁

Last weekend, 22 citizen scientists paddled along Takayna's rivers, surveying for endangered species like the Tasmanian Azure Kingfisher, that rely on waterways flowing through forests threatened by mining 🚣🏽‍♂️

Unlike its cousin from the mainland, the Tasmanian Azure …Kingfisher is becoming alarmingly rare, with Takayna as one of its last strongholds 📉 The reason behind its population decline remains unknown, and the government is knowingly leaving this species in a blind spot.

By documenting and monitoring threatened species in at-risk areas, we are campaigning for their protection.

🦅 Many eagles were sighted over the weekend, and a new nest was found that will need to be protected.

Get involved! Stay tuned for the dates of our upcoming 'Summer of Swifties' citizen science project to find and record Swift Parrots in forests that are threatened by logging.
