The sea toad can be found in waters of 2000+ meters! These fish are a type of anglerfish and have a lure within a depression between the eyes. I think they’re cuter than the average anglerfish! #SundayFishSketch #fish #DeepSeaFish
Trying to get work done while the world is burning around you. #anxiety
There are some great examples of dad-like behavior in #insects. Males of the waterbug genus Belostoma carry eggs on their back, making sure they get enough oxygen and protecting them from predators. Research hasn't determined if they also provide dad jokes. #scicomm #FathersDay
That's it for me today! I hope you enjoyed the last 11 hours of #WorldHemipteraDay fun! See you all next year! #SciComm #SciArt #Insects
Some #treehoppers are also known for parental care. Adults and nymphs of Enchenopa species can often be found together on a single plant. #WorldHemipteraDay #SciComm #TreehopperTuesday #insects
Can't forget about #TreehopperTuesday! Treehoppers have some of the most amazing body modifications in nature. Species in the genus Heteronotus are thought to act as wasp mimics which could help them deter predators. #WorldHemipteraDay #Insects #Biodiversity #SciComm
The adult periodical #cicadas emerge en masse. The large number of adults may overwhelm what predators like #birds can eat, giving the species a leg up on reproduction. #WorldHemipteraDay #SciComm #insects #Biodiversity
