Ornithomya avicularia is a parasitic fly (Hippoboscidae) that was terrorising everyone at work today. They crawl inside clothes hairs, and transmit blood parasites to their avian hosts. And also make good models.

We're keeping in a tropical frame of mind, so today we present these gregarious parrot-like birds, the only two species of Psittacidae that were native to the United States. These come from Rex Brasher's 'Birds and Trees of North America." https://t.co/Z7whEdwHNc

Spent today thinking about the degree of morphological variety among true (Phocidae). Skulls and seals represent a Mediterranean Monk seal, Harbour seal, and Crabeater seal. Phocids have so many different looks! 🤩
