In this mosaic image stretching 340 light-years across, Webb’s Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) displays the Tarantula Nebula star-forming region in a new light, including tens of thousands of never-before-seen young stars that were previously shrouded in cosmic dust. The most active region appears to sparkle with massive young stars, appearing pale blue.
Do you have kids, grandkids, nieces, or nephews? Do you like to color (who am I kidding this is Tumblr, of course y’all do)? Then I’ve got 27 digital images to print at home of critters, creatures, and creepy crawlers from the American Southwest and beyond that you can fill in till your hearts content.
Mammals, reptiles, bugs, and a whole lot more from the Pleistocene Ice Age to today. All hand drawn by me, Thomas Wayne Riley. There are butterflies, mammoths, moose, bison, prairie dogs, mountain lions, wolves, and a bunch of other wild and woolly critchers. And they’re all based off of pictures I took in the wild or at museums.
All pictures are 8.5x11 or standard paper size and all are black and white.
These are not AI drawn or prompted. These are all drawn on the iPad by Thomas Wayne Riley from pictures that Thomas Wayne Riley took.
i just found out that some spiders in the amazon rainforest are said to keep frogs as companions because they can mutually benefit each other with the spider protecting the frog, and the frog eating any insects that might threaten the spider's eggs, and i will never be the same again. now who's about to be misao's companion like the frogs in the amazon are to spiders and maybeee have her take on a maternal role, or sister role towards them because she feels indebted to them at first since they helped HER / are helping her... though who'll have misao just end up protecting them in the same stretch at some point just because she actually grows quite close to them 😭
The Aphonopelma hentzi, also known as Texas brown tarantula, Oklahoma brown tarantula, or Missouri tarantula,is one of the most common species of tarantula living in the Southern United States today. Texas brown tarantulas can grow to leg spans in excess of 10 cm (4 in) and weigh more than 85 g (3 oz) as adults. Their bodies are dark brown, though shades may vary between individual tarantulas. The colors are more distinct after a molt, as with many arthropods.
