Central American jumping pitviper (Metlapilcoatlus mexicanus), Costa Rica, 2021 (mander.xyz)
This stunning large specimen was just hanging out when we came across it. Absolute unit of a viper.

I prefer to get action shots when possible, and sometimes, the birds deliver....
Phrynus sp., momma with babies (mander.xyz)
This is one of my favorite observations from this summer–a tailless whip scorpion with tiny jelly beans. She was really fiesty, with good reason! We shoo’d her out of the road, much to her displeasure, so scooters wouldn’t run her over....
Henslow's Sparrow, Pennsylvania, July 2023 (mander.xyz)
I’d “seen” one of these before, but only in a “flying away during winter” kind of way. So, finding 8+ in a field this summer was wonderful! I love their little songs. Sparrows are one of my favorite groups of birds.

Sunset at Düsseldorf main station, Germany (mander.xyz)
I snapped this photo with my phone in December, it was a gorgeous sunset and I love the way the clock looks in this photo. I am not a photographer and the photo is completely unedited, just something pretty I wanted to share. :)

I've been having a hard time with my plants lately, but I think it's paying off. (mander.xyz)
I repotted all of my plants a few weeks ago and then didn’t transition them slowly enough to being outside for the summer. A bunch got burns. Last weekend, we had a short but fast and windy thunderstorm roll through which knocked over several plants. My little andersoni (Swiss cheese one) lost two other stems that I am trying...

Extremely excited about the progress of my Paraiso verde. It was a tissue culture start. (mander.xyz)
Ignore the chaos in the background. 😅 My dog came through and knocked everything over with the wiggles.

Keeping this little guy humid! (mander.xyz)
Found this little jar at a Wilko in town for £6. Made a perfect little greenhouse for a calathea I saved from going in the bin at a nursery. It’s much happier with the higher humidity.

Not a fungus: Ghost pipe (Monotropa uniflora) is a parasitic plant commonly mistaken for a mushroom. (mander.xyz)
I see these all over the Midwest. Learn about how Monotropa uses the fungal connection between tree roots to siphon nutrients on this old webpage recommended by the US Forest Service.
