I came across this awesome website with (mostly) free to use silhouette images of different organisms - great for scientific publications and presentations! I really appreciate people making/uploading these images for others to use - will probably be using these on graphs in the future. The bee species available are a bit lacking, though.

@jakalopes Very cool. I occasionally have a need for such so bookmarked your post.
@jakalopes Uuummm… I have a question about this creature and the ones next to it… (to the left and right) so far as I know, we haven’t found a creature that has six appendages and has feathers in this world… 😐
@em_and_future_cats good question! that one is Mirasaura grauvogeli, a triassic reptile. it has a tall crest on its back. it was very recently discovered, this year I think. https://www.sci.news/paleontology/mirasaura-grauvogeli-14091.html
Crested Diapsid Reptile from Middle Triassic Shakes Up Feather Evolution Theories | Sci.News

Paleontologists have described a new genus and species of Triassic drepanosauromorph diapsid with striking integumentary appendages -- which are neither feathers nor skin -- based on two well-preserved skeletons and associated specimens.

@jakalopes
WHAT!!!! This is AMAZING!!!🙀😻 Thank you so much!!!😻😹
@jakalopes Don’t get me wrong, I love dragons too! But… if this is a science thing for school… ummm maybe omit those few 😹

@jakalopes not sure if you are aware, but there is also these two other resources, one from NIH, one community supported, with various CC licenses that may be handy. But I'm afraid they don't have much on bees..

@jakalopes I have to really say thanks. Is gonna be really useful for me.
@jakalopes These images might also be useful for #GameDev.
@jakalopes @edutooters Biology teachers would find this invaluable (https://www.phylopic.org/)
