Critter fact #96:

Smallmouth bass often have a vertically stripe along their bodies. This feature can easily be used to distinguish it from the similar Largemouth bass, which has a single horizontal stripe.

Went to an aquarium today, any of the more skilled identification people know what this skrunkle of a guy is? We couldn't find a plaque for him

Help! What is this?? Calling all of fishblr to ID this fry!

I have two guesses but I don’t want to influence anyone’s opinion.

Embrace the truth

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #lan jingyi #lan sizhui #lan xichen #lan wangji #wei wuxian #WWX uses NMJ's abs as part of his evidence for identification. LXC is allowed to use his familiar embrace as his evidence. #We are now entering the slow burn arc of 'Lan Xichen continues to lose everything he cared about'. #He has his love of fishing + his good friendship with JGY + his brother. I hope nothing happens to any of those things #Not that its in character for *anyone* present to have the emotional intelligence for it - but man LXC is having a very hard time #Trying to pin his sworn brother as a murderer *right* after identifying the mystery body as his other sworn brother? #of *course* he's defensive! You gave him no time to process! #He's gonna need a lot of time by the pond to cope #The original joke had LXC copping a feel on those glutes and recognizing him that way. Which now looking back *was* funnier #sigh...I need to trust my gut a bit more #Next time on PD-MDZS: They just show up in Jinlin Tai because I want to plot to keep moving

Another fanart for @crowboss-whore 's “Seer of Secrets”. More of design sketches than anything.

I gave Seer a gun!

With how often Seer mentions wanting to be long ranged, I have been itching to give them a sniper. I tried to make it similar to the wrist gun they already have, you can even see my references littered about.

Edit: Ok clearly I had this in my drafts a while before the latest chapter came out and I DIDN'T EXPECT IT TO HIT SO CLOSE TO HOME FJDJJFJFB FUCK DUDE. OW!

(This is now so out of place with the tone of the chapter lmao)

I’ve had this idea for a bit now and while waiting for Chapter 12 to come out, I decided to design a rifle. It’s all non-canon of course since they don’t even have one (yet). This also gives me a base design for Seer. The outfit here is 100% negotiable in the future, but I like a cape/skirt idea a lot. Aaaaand I’m just now realizing I completely forgot about the hover boots lmao. I’ll come back to that when I feel up to drawing again

#lmk fic #fanart #a seer of secrets art #a seer of secrets #The fish draws #My knowledge on guns is 50% actual firearm identification #And 50% Valorant #With this coupled with my fic concept #Really paints me as a person hyperfixated on both LMK and Valo #Which is not totally wrong but not totally right either

look i love animal/plant/insect id forums, subreddits etc. but it is utterly saddening how many people are clueless about common natural things around them.

#not dogs #wildlife #what do you mean you can't identify a fox that's around your neighborhood every day #what do you mean you don't know what a common squirrel looks like or a rat vs a mouse??? #idk it is just me and my obsession with wildlife and plant identification booklets as a kid #but i think we should all teach folks a lot more about the natural environments around them (even urban ones!) #ecosystems be so cool #but also i like if i see something i don't know i run to our state's fish and wildlife page and see if i can id it and usually that's enoug

For #FishyFriday: examples of Ancient Greek terracotta red-figure fish plates. Can you tell by the designs which was probably made by Athenians and which by Greek settlers in southern Italy (Italiotes)? 🤔

two plates on display at Art Institute of Chicago

The answer is revealed by the label for this 3rd example…

fish plate and gallery label on display at The Walters Art Museum

Answer: the first plate is Athenian and the other two are Italiote. The design clue is in how the fish bellies are usually oriented - towards the outer rim (the original Attican design) or center (the later Italiote design).

#1 Athens, 5th to early 2nd c. BCE

#2 Campania, 2nd q. 4th c. BCE

#3 Apulia, late 4th c. BCE

MEETING IS DONE. He said I am definitely moving forward. I have to have a meeting with the other grad students in the center, and they have right of refusal, so if they don't like me I will not be admitted to the program. That will probably be next week.

#he is concerned that I know nothing about fish. which is fair #he said if I get in he would want me to come before school started so I could start learning fish identification #I would be a TA. I would have to learn how to drive a trailer and a boat #I would get a TON of field work experience. The field work would mean missing weeks of class at a time #which I am worried about but I feel like I could keep up? maybe? hopefully #I would have to present at conferences which is terrifying #he said they expect all their students to get A's. which I had a 4.0 in undergrad but that was 4 years ago so I hope I didn't forget #how to do school #and he said they push the students really hard #he said they want you do get jobs and that there are students now who have gotten job offers and won't be finishing #their degrees because the offer is exactly what they want so they are leaving early #which sounds amazing #I am worried I won't be rigorous enough or won't be able to keep up #and I am worried that the other grad students won't like me #so I'm trying not to get my hopes up.... but I am excited
