Happy 4th Signalis Anniversary! I don't have an art piece right now for the occasion, but it's been a wicked, wild ride. Never expected to get obsessed with lesbian robots in space, but here we are XD

What a lovely orchid. 💮 Wait: Look AGAIN. Hymenopus coronatus, the 'orchid-blossom mantis' has such clever camouflage that, even when you KNOW it's a bug, it can take a minute to parse out. They climb up to flowers, hang about bobbing as though blown by wind & wait for butterflies.

I know some of you need to hear this right now. Your depression is lying to you. You are strong, you matter, and you are a good person. You mean so much to this world, and this world loves you back. Please don’t lose hope 💖🫂

Ling: I'm grateful that you guys came to help get me out of trouble, but how did you get here so fast? Trägerin: Several traffic violations. Qiang: 3 counts of resisting arrest from AEON Protektors. Verfolger: Roughly 13 cans of energy drinks. Berylline: Also, that's not an NRO car- #Signalis #klbr

PSA to artists worried about charging "too much": It's not real! That doesn't exist! It's literally not possible to overcharge for your art. "But Rosemary, I would get less clients-" wrong. If that were true, all luxury brands would have gone out of business before their names were ever known.

She's confused, but she's got the spirit (somewhat). (Sorry that the bubble text didn't come out clearly. I've put the dialogue in the alt text.) #Signalis

The smallest bat in North America is the canyon bat (Parastrellus hesperus), also called the western pipistrelle or American parastrelle. They weigh about 3–6 grams, the weight of a US penny, sheet of paper, or teaspoon of sugar. In flight, they're sometimes confused for moths or butterflies.

My favorite emails from students are those with the subject, “What fish is this?” Here, we have a skilletfish, our local clingfish species that uses is suction cup-like pelvic fins to stick under crevices and in shells.

There are up to 8,000 species of katydids in family Tettigoniidae, 255 in North America alone. But this hot pink katydid isn't some exotic species, it's a 'morph', a normal genetic color variant. Here's the weird part: this is the DOMINANT color gene in katydids. (📷: Audubon Zoo)

So a little less glamorous than a red panda or axolotl, but conservation programs that support these essential (goth) scavengers are just as vital. The news on that front is good: across the prairie, losses are being reversed. For a bug that provides a final resting place (with a side of gravy).

rwpzoo.orgAmerican Burying Beetle Recovery ProgramSince 1995, RWPZ has successfully reared over 5,000 ABBs over multiple generations, starting with 19 male and 11 female beetles taken from Block Island.

6am coffee, except you got called in on your off-day when you're supposed to be sleeping in because someone else forgot to train the new NRO recruit- #Signalis #klbr
