hello!! i will introduce you to some light blue friends! all these frog are also cute!!
like pink, blue is not a popular colour of frog for in the wild, but poison dart frog always fashionable!
Dyeing Dart Frog (Dendrobates tinctorius) has most blue colour of all the poison darts.
blue poison dart frog (Dendrobates tinctorius “azureus”)sometimes come in light blue. dark blue is favourite of he tho
but sometimes he go very light
(Dendrobates Tinctorius Citronella “Hell-blau”)
Green and Black poison dart frog also have blue form (Dendrobates auratus)
strawberry poison dart frog (Oophaga pumilio)
more of he
Harlequin poison frog (oophaga histrionicus)
ruby poison dart frog (Ameerega parvula)pretend to be dead (is faking!) and show his most beautiful belly
outside of poison dart frogs blue is not popular. However, there are still sometimes a blue friend.
amazon milk frog is beautioful
also have a blue mouth!!!!
Moor Frog (Rana arvalis) is most of the time brown, but will turn himself blue for 3 or 4 days a year to make himself the Most Beautiful
so many beautoful boys.
then sometimes a frog who is normally green will be born blue because they not have a yellow pigment. Mediterranean tree frog here has a blue friend (Hyla meridionalis)
see how bright he be
you see this green tree frog have some green spot still (Litoria caerulea)
Uluguru forest tree frog you know because he very helpful in a meme! but he normally green too
more of he beauty
(Leptopelis Uluguruensis)
other beautiful tree frog that have a blue
pacific tree frog (Pseudacris regilla)
blue like sky
red eyed tree frog (Agalychnis callidryas)
whites tree frog
( Litoria caerulea )
see him with he green friend
and green tree frog! (Litoria caerulea)
thank you for ask about beautiful blue frog goodbye!!
A Picasso bug, Sphaerocoris annulus, from Mlawula Nature Reserve, Swaziland.
Also known as Shield-backed bug, Sphaerocoris annulus (Heteroptera – Scutelleridae) is an African shield bug reported from Kenya, Cameroon, and Namibia.
This bug, beautifully decorated, is well known to science for its role as the cotton pest in Africa and the study of their pheromones.
It looks like a baby bird popping it’s head out of an old fruit
OKAY BUT YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY MISSING THE BEST PART OF THIS BIRD:
All those fish are hiding up where the stinging part of the jelly can’t touch them, and nothing can try to eat them because they’re hiding in a jellyfish.
Let’s take a moment to appreciate the amazing real-life monster that is Sagapedo. Why makes this fierce Amazon cricket so amazing? Let’s find out!
(Note: none of those photos are mine and all have been correctly credited to the best of my knowledge. If there’s any problem with them being here let me know!)
1. Let’s face it, the Latin name Saga pedo read in English could be interpreted very poorly in a number of ways. Just wanted to get that out of the way.
2. So instead, it has a number of intimidating vernacular names, either related to its behavior, its size, or its spikiness – or all of the above. These include the English “Spiked Magician”, the French “Magicienne Dentelée” and “Langouste de Provence”, the Italian “Stregona Dentellata”, and the German “Große Sägeschrecke“.
(Ouch, yes? From Wikipedia.)
3. Why “magician”? Because of the way it holds its front legs, much like a mantis. In fact…
4. Saga pedo is a tettigoniid, a bush cricket (or katydid to you Yankees), and is part of the larger family of grasshoppers, crickets, and such. Tettigoniids are generally omnivorous, and Saga pedo is a cricket taking predation to the next level. You could say it’s converging on mantids.
5. It’s huge, one of the biggest European insects. It’s also wingless and can’t fly. This size and winglessness has led to it being called a “lobster” in some names.
6. See those spines on the inside of its forelegs? They’re used for the exact same purpose mantids use their raptorial forelimbs: grabbing and impaling prey. For that matter note that they don’t have the defensive hind-leg spikes.
7. They will eat anything they can catch, and that includes their own kind. Prey is killed by biting through the neck. They don’t appreciate being manhandled either, and can bite hard.
Lacking a tongue, bamboo sharks (Chiloscyllium plagiosum) swallow with their shoulder bones. Other tongue-less sharks and fish species likely use a similar method of swallowing. The finding comes from the lab of Ariel Camp, a postdoctoral researcher at Brown University’s Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. Using state of the art X-ray imaging technology, Camp and her team filmed the internal going-ons of bamboo sharks having lunch. These tongueless critters, it seems, rely on their shoulder-blades to create suction when it’s time to swallow.
While many salamanders are lungless, only one known species of frog has no lungs. Meet Barbourula kalimantanensis, the Bornean Flat-headed Frog!
source What big eyes he has! This flat man is one of only two species in his genus, and the only one without lungs. His cousin, Barbourula busuangensis, has perfectly normal and functional lungs. Funnily enough, the lungless frog is in the family Bombinatoridae, the same family as fire belly toads, like my boy Sparky who we all know and love. You could say I have a frog bias.
source So how does this funky fella breathe? Entirely through his skin! These certainly aren’t friends you want to handle much, despite how cute they are. Unfortunately, the IUCN has them listed as endangered! Habitat loss thratens their population.
source He’s got it all- chubby thighs and big thighs. He’s flat because he has no lungs, and the rest of his organs are larger to take up that unused space. He is perfectly designed to live in the cold, fast flowing clearwater streams. & with a life like that, why would he ever leave the water? That’s right, he is a fully aquatic man, much like the popular african dwarf frog!
source If you’re ever in the Kalimantan part of Indonesia, keep an eye out for these pals in the remote rainforest. Don’t bother them, though, unless that’s your job. They’re doing important work (being frogs) so let them do that!
Substances don’t have to be a liquid or a gas to behave like a fluid. Swarms of fire ants display viscoelastic properties, meaning they can act like both a liquid and a solid. Like a spring, a ball of fire ants is elastic, bouncing back after being squished (top image). But the group can also act like a viscous liquid. A ball of ants can flow and diffuse outward (middle image). The ants are excellent at linking with one another, which allows them to survive floods by forming rafts and to escape containers by building towers.
Researchers found the key characteristic is that ants will only maintain links with nearby ants as long as they themselves experience no more than 3 times their own weight in load. In practice, the ants can easily withstand 100 times that load without injury, but that lower threshold describes the transition point between ants as a solid and ants as a fluid. If an ant in a structure is loaded with more force, he’ll let go of his neighbors and start moving around.
When they’re linked, the fire ants are close enough together to be water-repellent. Even if an ant raft gets submerged (bottom image), the space between ants is small enough that water can’t get in and the air around them can’t get out. This coats the submerged ants in their own little bubble, which the ants use to breathe while they float out a flood.
