Got inspired by all the #ladybugs flying around these days. Many species indeed have a second population peak in autumn and look at this diversity in color and size! All species depicted are common in Central Europe. Have you seen some of them?

Huge win. Ecuadorians have voted in a historic referendum to halt the development of all new oilwells in the Yasuní national park in the Amazon, one of the most biodiverse regions on the planet: buff.ly/3QNZzdo Protect people and the planet. #ActOnClimate

Proud to be a coauthor on this new study in @ScienceMagazine tracing the history of agriculture by ants to 66 million years ago -- precisely the time when an asteroid struck the Earth triggering a mass extinction event. Bad for dinos, good for ants? cnn.com/2024/10/04/science/a…

Incredible. To do this in plastic would be cool. To do it in ceramic, with size/shape-dependent coefficients of expansion for every little piece, is flat-out amazing.
丸1年間試行錯誤した新作が無事完成しました。 一輪挿しに擬態した空想の昆虫で、トランスフォームできるように可動式になっています! 土の収縮率や焼きの変形との戦いでした。 【次回個展のお知らせ】 表参道にあるDiEGOさんで10月3日〜26日の期間、個展をさせていただきます。 #陶芸

Prepare to have your mind BLOWN This fly (Fannia sp) was found in the meat baited Shannon trap covered in Dermatobia hominis - The HUMAN BOTFLY Botflies usually lay eggs on flies that feed on humans (as the eggs drop when feeding) and these are larvae! #FySchool24
