Looking for excuses to try out this cheap little microscope and thought you might like to see shed panther chameleon skin closeups.
Trypophobia warning.
1: dime for scale, no bananas, sorry.
2-3: outside scales
4-5: inside scales
Found this cool lichen and took a closer look with a cheap Bluetooth microscope
Keeping some tomato hornworms as feeders for a chameleon, but they’re so cute!
Plucked some sprigs off the tomato plants to give him and seems like he likes it.
Edit: Since he’s now tasted tomato plant, I won’t be feeding him to the Chameleon since it could be poisonous. Didn’t want anyone to worry.
Anyone know what these little things on this one Dubia Roach are?
Only one out of 250 has this, never seen it before but only been dealing with them a few months so far.
It was neat to see this lil guy who was just a little different, but still doing their best.
Spotted some cool fungus in the park, even a mutation with gills on top!
Seems like more roots outside the bank than inside. I wonder how long it’s been here?
There were so many examples of this species nearby, I brought one home to add to the collection/obsession.
This type of fern was everywhere along the creek, so pretty.
Spotted this lil guy on yesterday’s walk. Only one of this type that I could find, but I love the dainty foliage. No mature sori underneath yet.
Edit: Location - Northern Mississippi
A cool spot from yesterday’s walk.
Bonus birdsong.
Love to see the trees doing their best regardless of conditions.
Very nice flare from yesterday’s walk. Bonus birdsong.
Love the buttressing roots covered in mosses and lichens.
Bonus bunny buddy
Lichen at the end, bonus moss and jumping spider.
Very impressive flares from a park trip a few weeks ago. Love the little microclimates that develop from a little erosion creating overhangs.
