I was looking for ants when suddenly this super weird arachnid danced by. It belongs to the rare order of hooded-tick spiders (Ricinulei), which actually are neither ticks nor spiders.

Happy first day of spring! This saucer magnolia (Magnolia × soulangeana) brightened my day when I had the flu a couple weeks ago. It's always refreshing to see the #VirginiaTech campus come to life in the spring!

Um, yeah, that’s a 3D virtual model 😱 Part of our continuing effort to get critical specimens online, designed & led by three undergrads: a Classics major, a History major & a Biology major. That’s not the start of a joke, it’s collaboration across the liberal arts!

Despite their common name, crabeater seals' (Lobodon carcinophaga) diet consists mostly of Antarctic krill, which they sieve out of the water with their unique dentition. #DraweroftheDay

Continuing with the #SciArt Twitter Storm here is a close-to-finished reconstruction of Pappochelys, a Triassic stem-turtle. I’m doing this illustration for my in-prep book “Journey To The Mesozoic vol. I” which hopefully will be ready this year. #paleoart #turtles
