    Friday…bivalve? It’s a mollusc, anyway

    Cut me some slack, already. How could I resist such a weird little larval bivalve?

    Oh, joy — it’s squid TV!

    Yes! You can watch the giant squid episode of Inside Nature’s Giants. There’s a little squeeing going on in my hotel room right now, I’m just glad no one else is here to record me.

    Botanical Wednesday: Pitcher perfect

    i-c74bbb6730294aaf7807b3d323c235be-pitcherplant.jpeg

    (via Meadowview Biological Research Station

    Hey, there’s a cause associated with this image. Meadowview is trying to win a $50,000 grant to purchase a 5 acre bog in Virginia to be set aside as a preserve for carnivorous pitcher plants. All you have to do is go to this site and vote to help them achieve that goal. I think you can vote every day, too.
