Formaldeheidi, Taxidermy & Oddities

This trend but you tell me which human skulls from my collection are replicas 💀 #oddities #odditiesandcuriosities #skulls #formaldeheidi

Everybody's version of happy looks different 🖤🫀🥀💀

👁️ Mimicry 👁️ The world around us displays fascinating animal mimicry. Animal mimicry are defence mechanism traits maintained by natural selection for survival ✨ Batesian mimicry, where harmless species mimic the appearance of toxic/dangerous organisms to avoid being consumed, like the Altas moth that has formations on their wings that look like cobra heads. Müllerian mimicry, where multiple harmful species converge on similar warning signals, having evolved in symbiosis for the preservation of the species from predators, this is present in poison dart frogs. Aggressive mimicry sees predators or parasites adopting the guise of harmless creatures to lure unsuspecting prey, as seen in the angler fish and snapping turtle. Finally, automimicry, where animals mimic parts of their own body, like the raptor eyespots on wings, to confuse predators #naturalworld #survivaltactics #animalmimicry #defencemechanism #naturalselection #themoreyouknow #facts

We have prepared many unique displays for y'all that will be available this weekend at @distilleryroadmarket #makersmarket #handmade

The colour blue holds significance in the natural world as demonstrated by its conservation from natural selection. The colour blue is reported to play a role in many essential functions. Firstly, it serves as a tool for attraction and communication, as seen in flowers and fruits that use blue to attract pollinators. The colour blue can additionally provide camouflage, helping species blend into their surroundings or warn predators of their toxicity. Thermoregulation is another function of blue colouration, aiding organisms in managing their body temperatures. Mimicry and structural colouration also come into play with some organisms mimicking blue patterns for defense or utilising structural features to reflect blue light. The colour blue in nature contributes to diverse ecosystems, facilitating reproduction, protection, and survival strategies. If you need one of these brilliant blue butterfly displays, they're available on my website - link in bio #blue #naturalselection #evolutionarybiology #evolution #naturelovers #naturalworld #science #themoreyouknow #butterfly #taxidermy #wunderkammer #cabinetofcuriosities

Anatomical heart, cat skulls and Australian honey bees 🐝🫀

💀🍄 Rebirth Collection 🍄💀 As you may have noticed by now, I do find the cycle of life and death fascinating. I can appreciate the good that comes from the biochemical processes of death and how they enable other facets of life ✨thrive✨ Some of these pieces have been inspired by the incredible @darkferncreations. Please go check Abby's work out! She's so talented!! #deathpositivity #formaldeheidi #mementomori #wunderkammer

Peruvian Orange Striped Tarantula mounted on an anatomical heart 🫀🖤

💚 Urania leilus 💙 Presenting the Green-banded Urania moth. That's right... This is a MOTH. Even more interesting these incredible Peruvian moths fly during the day, a strange characteristic for a moth ✨
