this is an Abacion, a member of one of North America’s most nicely textured millipede genera. they’re both very fast and also produce an extremely powerfully-scented defense chemical.

at first, it smells rather like horse manure, and almost unbearably so. but when harassed further this one produced beads of white substance from every segment, and this stuff had an added vanilla scent on top of the dunghill odor. now, after dissipating overnight, the container I kept this animal in smells oddly of chocolate.

…the funny thing being the container’s original purpose was to hold little Japanese chocolate candies, and I spent a long time trying to purge it of the chocolate smell. which just got added back by a stinky millipede

I could only find a couple photos of this species that I could legally share, but I can link this better photo here! The iridescent blue is beautiful :)

I just realized I never posted photos of this really pretty harvestman i came across a while back. Note the green pedipalps and the dark and light spots on its back.

#opiliones #arachnids #chelicerata #bugs #harvestman #bugblr #the light spots were a very light green iirc (it's been a while) but they just look white here #there's a photoset of a really cool harvestman going around and it reminded me of this one and i realized i never posted these pics #spider #(ik they arent spiders but i'm tagging it as that for blacklist purposes #bc i imagine that someone who's really scared of spiders probably doesnt care that actually opiliones are not spiders just close relatives)#i think its so cool how i didnt even know opiliones were a thing until a couple of years ago and now i see them all the time #turns out they're pretty common around here #(not that i never saw them before i mustve just assumed they were spiders)#theyre usually not as pretty as this one though #most of the ones i see are just black or dark brown #also i have a massive backlog of pictures ive never posted of bugs and other nature stuff #my stuff #my posts #outside tag #nature

realized I hadn’t fed my Geonemertes in two weeks, so I offered it an isopod. didn’t expect to see it strike, so the video isn’t the sharpest, but what a cool way of hunting!

the worm fires its sticky proboscis like a harpoon, presumably injecting venom at some point.

this is Geonemertes pelaensis, one of a scant few terrestrial examples of a mostly marine phylum (Nemertea). it’s an invasive species in the US and elsewhere, implicated in lowering counts of some soil arthropods.

it also has a very cute face.

Eastern black-legged tick, Ixodes scapularis, Ixodidae

Commonly known as the deer tick, this species is a vector for several diseases, most notably Lyme disease. In most cases, the tick must be attached for at least 36 hours to transmit the disease.
