Comparison of 2 big black scorpions from 2 different parts of the world. The Emperor scorpion on the left is a large, calm species from Africa. The Laos forest scorpion is a large, aggressive species from Asia. Both have mild venom that isn't considered medically significant. #scorpions #scorpionsofinstagram #pandinusimperator #arachnids #entomology #boogie_down_bugs #ilikebigbugs
The Heterometrus laoticus I last posted is quite impressive indeed, but at the end of the day, everyone kneels before the Emperor. #pandinusimperator #emperorscorpion #arachnid #boogie_down_bugs #scorpions #scorpionsofinstagram
She started off trying to eat the head and then decided it was better to bring it in her burrow. Unfortunately, she only managed to bring the leg down with her. #eresuselhennawyi #velvetspider #arachnid #truespider #boogie_down_bugs
Theyre lucky they're cute or else they'd be dinner. #lessersulphurcrestedcockatoo #doubleyellowheadedamazon #parrotsoftiktok #parrotsofinstagram #parrots #exoticpets #boogie_down_bugs
The mainly orange body complements the green of the moss quite well; but looking at the green bands that border this millipede's body, I think nature already knew it's a good combo.

Terrestrial invertebrates aren't the only animals we have a deep appreciation for. Sea jellies, more commonly referred to as jellyfish, aren't actually fish. instead they are invertebrates which belong to the phylum Cnidaria. This taxonomic branch is made up of invertebrates that all have stinging cells called nematocysts or cnidae. This comes from the Greek cnidos meaning stinging nettle. These different species were seen at @mysticaquarium Mystic Aquarium #seajellies #jellyfish #Marineinvertebrate #cnidaria #mysticaquarium

Thyropygus sp "Thailand" F1 and F2 produced here by me. As far as I'm aware, I'm the first to captive breed a Thyropygus species. If anyone has any papers to cite otherwise please send them to me. #Thyropygus #millipede #giantmillipede #entomology #boogie_down_bugs
These 1.1 subadult Coromus diaphorus are 1 molt away from being sexually mature and around 2 molts away from being adults. Most millipedes hit sexual maturity before reaching adult size. #coromusdiaphorus #flatbackmillipede #africanmillipede #entomology #boogie_down_bugs
