Flowers can move too 🌼🐝

In Galactites tomentosus, touching the disc florets can trigger a rapid staminal movement that helps control pollen presentation and release during a pollinator visit.

This was observed by Biology students during Plant Diversity classes at the University of Coimbra 🌿

I knew right away what the symbol was... of course I am a plant nerd and know my native plants of Oregon and the state flower, Oregon grape (Mahonia aquifolium). The leaves gave it away. I love that they chose this for Oregon.

I made this TerraBeast watercolor painting 13 years ago, imagining all of my OddFauna creatures living on their back. I didn't realize that it would inspire a whole video game.✨

Irish musician Moya Brennan dies aged 73 Moya Brennan, best known as the lead singer of the Grammy and BAFTA-winning group Clannad, died peacefully yesterday, surrounded by her family, at the age of 73.

So sad to learn of the passing of Moya Brennan of Clannad. For me, her singing was the bridge between the old traditions of Irish music and something new and vibrant as contemporary sounds and influences came into it.
Her instrument was her voice, and it was stunning.

A large spider with a lightbulb shaped greenish abdomen and yellow legs. It is sitting in the center of a web that has zigzag patterns in it on diagonals from the center of the web. There is greenery in the background.

A large spider with a lightbulb shaped greenish abdomen and yellow legs. It is sitting in the center of a web that has zigzag patterns in it on diagonals from the center of the web. There is greenery in the background.

A gorgeous Argiope sp. spider waits for a meal. The zigzags in the web are called stabilimenta and reflect UV light. The stabilimenta may help attract prey to the web and/or also prevent larger animals from destroying the web.
