Speckled Racer (Drymobius margaritiferus), family Colubridae, South TX, USA

I just spotted this beautiful, but sadly dead, moth on a train station platform in Thuringia, Germany.

Finger for scale^^

Thank you for what you're doing, keep on rocking! <3

Moth ID - Germany:

Yes hello hello yes, this is the Wood Leopard Moth (Zeuzera pyrina), family Cossidae.

Because that makes sense. Anyway, this poison would submit me to its well-known and much-feared symptom: "17 Day Paralysis" in which you're paralyzed for exactly 17 days and you only chance of survival is to be on full machine support for 17 days.

Just before the medical team intubated me I remembered I have a Zoom meeting with my academic advisor today (I actually do in real life) and I needed to email him to let him know I was the victim of a mass-poisoning and would need to reschedule.

I kept trying to type the "□" symbol in my dream but could not figure out how and gave up.

[Professor], a chara,

Earless Monitor Lizard (Lanthanotus borneensis), family Lanthanotidae, endemic to Borneo

ENDANGERED.

Semi-aquatic.

Closely related to the true monitor lizards in the family Varanidae.

The only member of its family.

They do have inner ears, and are capable of hearing, despite the lack of ear openings and tympana.

Eyelash Pit-Viper (Bothriechis nigroadspersus), family Viperidae, Caribbean lowlands of Panama

Venomous.

This snake comes in a variety of colors and patterns, but this one is unusually red!

more coming soon i think
