Every Bug In The World Is My Friend

🦎 Brehms Tierleben Leipzig, Bibliographisches Institut, 1911-19- Original source Image description: Illustration from “Brehms Tierleben” (1911-19) depicting two newts labeled “Bandmolch.” One newt is submerged and walking along the bottom, showing a brown, spotted body with a white stripe along its side. The other newt is swimming mid-water, displaying a raised, jagged dorsal crest running from head to tail and bright orange coloring on its underside. Both newts are surrounded by aquatic plants and a natural freshwater habitat with stones and water plants. The detailed, realistic style highlights the newts’ textured skin and distinctive anatomical features.

If you ever spot a Tricolored heron and have a little free time, I highly recommend stopping to watch them fish for a while. The speed, focus, and grace they display during the hunt is captivating.
