This is a Texas powdered skipper (Systasea pulverulenta). It's a skipper, not the most stunning butterfly, but it is my 590th identified insect species. Always nice to find a lifer Lepidoptera, and even though it's still hot out it's nice to see some signs of fall coming.

Overwhelmingly large numbers of #invertebrates are little studied - either unknown, or overlooked.
And yet these organisms which quietly going about the business of playing invaluable ecological roles in the ecosystems they inhabit, not only enable these ecosystems to thrive, but also improve our own quality of life. Especially in the cement souled concrete orgies of our 'big' cities, and townships.
Even in such places as crowded public parks and gardens, thronging with visitors.
Some other excellent #nocturnal #invertebrates around too in Le Balze and Valle dell'Inferno e Bandella. #scorpion #lycosa #crayfish #locust #Italy

'Keys mentioning olive green color? Hold my duck!' said this Theromyzon tessulatum.

A porcelain crab (Neopetrolisthes maculatus) for #InverteFest! They are decapod crustaceans in the family Porcellanidae, which resemble true crabs but are in fact closer related to squat lobsters. They have flattened bodies as an adaptation for living in rock crevices. They first appeared in the Tithonian age of the Late Jurassic epoch, 145-152 million years ago.

I've done some of this before, am signed up to do a module in terrestrial ecology at the Open University from Oct, & also volunteering with a PhD student surveying aquatic invertebrates & plants in a #chalkstream restoration project from Sept.
Plan A is to supplement my pension through freelance work in this field, but I need to work out if this is possible before taking the plunge. Any advice would be gratefully received!

...another instance where calm is called for: when you spot a bipalium kewense flatworm that's longer than your foot.
these guys are big predators of earthworms & are thus enemies of mine. they may also be carriers for angiostrongylus.
they are one of my least favorite creepy crawlies. do not touch with your hands. smoosh them on sight. they can regrow from fragments, so smoosh them FULLY.

🛢️ Top 10 LARGEST 🏭 #OIL_SPILLS IN #HISTORY | Calling for #CLASS_ACTION #LAW_SUIT AGAINST #BIG_OIL | #GLOBAL #LATENCY_DEFECT #CHARGES!
#QUESTION? WHO is Killing #ALL THE #WHALES? The Whales are dying bc of #POOR_WATER_QUALITY AKA #WATER_CHEMISTRY! #ROOT_CAUSE #BIG_OIL!
🛢️ ..ITS NOT #WIND_FARMS. Another #BIG_FAT_LIE! 🏭
ITS THE #LOW_LIFE #OIL_TYCOONS and #MILITARY_WAR_EMISSIONS..
Blaming #GREEN Energy? 💚 There is ZERO green energy ongoing at the moment compared to our previously burned up lands due to oil drilling..
WHAT ABOUT THE LAST 20 YEARS of #CONCEALMENT & #GROSS_MISINFORMATION and ZERO accountability????
I worked OFFSHORE DIVING SATURATION PLATFORM #SPAR (Underwater #welding Dry Habitat dropped 300 feet below).
Certified Commercial HELI/OX Professional #Saturation Diver (Browning & Company, #Pemex_Pipeline, (Bay of Campeche, Yucatan)
Its important to note that back in the 80's many that were drilling for #OIL would discover #Natural_Gas wells instead.
Now imagine multiple Natural Gas Well Stacks being burned off into the atmosphere (CALLED #WASTE ..Months to possibly years to empty gas zone) bc drillers wanted the (Gold) #OIL NOT Natural Gas??
BILLIONS OF GALLONS OF #NATURAL_GAS BEEN BURNED UP INTO THE ATMOSPHERE WITH #NO_REGULATION OR #ACCOUNTABILITY BY #BIG_OIL.
A freak storm just took out the Hawaiian Islands and these #losers still need to #drill?? Its an #ADDICTION AND YOU ARE KILLING & Burning up our GREAT Country for #PROFIT YOU #miserable_asses!.
BIG OIL LOST ITS #RIGHT TO #DRILL ANYWHERE in the world LONG AGO.
#BOYCOTT! #BIG_OIL, BIG #REFINED_OIL AND #NATURAL_GAS #EXPLORATION!
You think that will go without #CONSEQUENCES? Hmmmm..
Working on the barge top side in the daytime (120-140+ degrees Fahrenheit) beside natural gas wells.. . Humongous fire hose used to spray water over workers to cool them down.
Basically so that skin would not blister..
Also at the age of 30 in my life I started to #propagate_corals in #captivity (20 #YEARS).
I have grown the most #sensitive corals from a dime size to the size of a dinner plate -in #captivity.
I found out that #Water_chemistry in the Ocean is an #EXACT_SCIENCE.
The Slightest swing in #WATER_CHEMISTRY would cause #invertebrates to die; Corals to relocate or worse --throw skins and #die.
Ocean Water Chemistry does not shift/CHANGE --it is always at #constant chemical levels. #AN_EXACT_SCIENCE!!
You all should be arrested, booked and thrown in prison without keys!! imho
