Linda McIverrepeat after me: I would love to speak at your #IWD event. I have a speaker fee because of course we will not be celebrating IWD by asking women to work for free.

Michael RosenbergOur #fiddlercraboftheweek is the Spined Fiddler Crab, Tubuca paradussumieri, found from China to eastern Thailand, Taiwan, and western Indonesia.
A large #fiddlercrab, ~2.5-3.5 cm wide, males have a relatively longer claw than most other species. A brilliant blue when young, adults tend to be more dull colored. This species is frequently confused with conspecifics and similar species from neighboring regions.

EJ MasonPlease understand something: if a Disabled person has to ask someone else for access to something – an elevator; a written transcript; an environment that accommodates their disabilities – that thing is not accessible.

Hello mammal nerds! At ~1100m elevation in Kosci NP, who made this mark on this tree? #wildoz @ProfEuanRitchie
Dennis SunA tad late for #InverteFest, but I submitted a set of my arthropod Lego designs to @LEGOIdeas!
My set idea "Arthropod Model Organisms" features models for a fruit fly, amphipod crustacean, red flour beetle, and two-spotted cricket.

Open Ocean ExplorationEXTREMELY RARE footage of the elusive box jellyfish Chirodectes. Larger than a soccer ball, this jelly is a true ocean mystery, and this video is one of the only in existence, filmed off the coast of Papua New Guinea in 2021.

Children born today will see literally thousands of animals disappear in their lifetime, as global food webs collapse
New research finds nearly 30% of land animals could disappear form their local area by 2100 due to climate change and habitat destruction. This is more than double previous predictions.
