Post requested by @sunshine-in-a-bottle !
I haven't got the exact images my professor showed in class, but here are some pretty (in my humble opinion) flies from the family Tabanidae. All images are taken from iNaturalist!
^^ These ones have such beautiful eyes! Don't tell me that you would pass up a pair of sunglasses or ski goggles if the lenses looked like these!
^ This green fellow is vibrant, but I feel that the more "basic" looking ones deserve love as well!
^ Look at how beautiful the stripes are on this one! Such pretty shades of brown and honey-yellow! I also like the two-tone wings!
The diversity that even a single species of Tabanidae can exhibit is great (as made evident by the ID keys we spent a good hour trying to figure out lol). Once you get a close look, I think it is easier to appreciate them :)

Fun fact: if you look at a closed collateral vascular bundle it looks like a happy little fella and I think that’s great
In this picture: close up of a closed collateral vascular bundle in the stem of Zea mays (cornplant).

Can you make a post romanticising biology, chemistry and physics please?
the biology, chemistry, and physics student ༉‧₊˚.
staying up late finishing all your assignments and deadlines
living on caffeine and never more than 6 hours of sleep
desk cluttered with mugs, once filled with coffee and tea
an accurate hand, drawing and calculating all your thoughts and theories onto paper
running into class barely on time, hair in a state, outfit just-about put together
bag overflowing with papers and calculations
textbooks scattered with tabs and annotations
mail box filled, every notification receives your signature eye roll
your work is too important
living for your achievements, trying to find a way to the undiscovered lands
bookshelves lined with books detailing all your interests
reading Frankenstein every year
listening to chaotic classical music while you work, finding comfort in the changing notes
constantly thinking things through
ranting to your walls about your discoveries or theories
finding art in the exact, and finding the exact in art
Thank you for the ask! <3
