Japanese researchers discovered that black-spotted pond #frogs can successfully hunt and eat Asian giant #hornets (aka "murder hornets") despite their massive stingers and venom. The study found frogs ate the hornets 79% of the time even when repeatedly stung in the mouth or eyes. https://newatlas.com/biology/frogs-murder-hornets/#wildlife #biology #japan #research #nature #animals #insects

I've never seen anything like this before... our dog found it under a red oak. The soft tissue at the bottom was moving in waves but not emerging from the shell. What is it? Boosts appreciated.#malacology #snail #wildlife

Naturalists are predominantly elderly. Is this because they were socialised as children in a time when there was a greater abundance and variety of wildlife and were more free to roam or is it simply that in retirement they have time to let their interest flower?If the former, we are in danger of seeing a collapse in data gathering for anything other than birds and butterflies, putting the natural world in greater danger.If it is just a stage of life thing, there will be steady replacement and data will continue to flow.Any thoughts?#insects #entomology #biodiversity #birds #wildlife

There is a lot of wildlife in my neighborhood, especially birds. We have all sorts of birds of prey, but until now, I have only ever seen turkey vultures in the sky. I saw this one eating roadkill while walking my dog. A passing car spooked it and it flew up to a nearby garage, which is where I took this picture with my iPhone (luckily my dog ignores almost all wildlife).#Birds #Vultures #Wildlife #Nature
