In my 4-week class, Mating Rituals of the Animal Kingdom, we'll cover things you never even THOUGHT to ask about animal mating.
INCLUDING:
-Spitballs, given as romantic gifts
-Spider Sex Percussionists™
-Bee perfumers
-Lemur Stink Fights
-Springtail females bench pressing males, who then Raccacoonie them to the pile of sperm the males prepared, so she then sits on it (God bless springtails)
-& MORE
Sign up here
I need 6 more people to sign up or Atlas Obscura won't run the course and this course is SO SILLY and SO FUN and you'll learn so much weird shit I can't even tell you. And JUST in time for VALENTINES day.
This class has no homework, and you can watch it live or later!

This creature could only fit eyes or one (1) neuron in that little head, and it chose the single neuron. 🥹 Neelid springtails are so, so damn smol. This is basically a sand grain with legs. So happy to find some local in Florida! 🤍

I'm done with this blog. I just can't take it.
You Fuckers will upvote anything that is an isopod or moth. You simpletons.

I love taking springtail pictures. I didn't really notice or care about these guys until I got my macro camera, now I'm so intrigued by them.
