Still in absolute shock that we successfully climbed the cables at Half Dome! 17+ miles with over 4800 elevation gain in a span of 12 hours in one day. I have a huge fear of heights & I can’t believe we all made it down! Couldn’t have asked for a better group to concur this goal with •

The genus Brachycybe is a fascinating group of Arthropods. Not only are they one of the earliest known mycophagous animals but they also are an arthropod that exhibits parental care of young. Even more special about this concept is the fact that it’s the daddies that do the care taking! This photo shows the father wrapped around a clutch of precious eggs that were laid by the female Brachycybe rosea. The father protects the eggs both physically and chemically. When disturbed the father will wrap tightly around the eggs and emit a latex substance from his exoskeleton to ward off predation. Once the babies hatch they become part of the colony and feed on fungi in aggregated groups forming pinwheels around their farmed fungal food supply. Males will eventually leave the colony in search of a mate and form their own colony nearby on another fallen log on the forest floor. I have seen colonies with over 100 individuals all feasting on several species of fungi they planted on their special little log. These little cuties are near and dear to my heart, as my old lab studied the sister species Brachycybe lecontii on the East Coast. They always make me smile and I could talk for hours about them. ❤️ #brachycybe #brachycybelecontii #brachycyberosea #nature #arthropod #millipede #feathermillipede #science #daddy #eggs #entomology #naturalsciences #ecology #adventure wormswithlegs #californiaadventures #california
I love stopping at quirky places when I’m road tripping. I’m always looking for hidden gems whether it’s stumbling upon them, a recommendation from a friend, seeing a photo online or on social media, or even through a travel magazine. .
.
The more a place is Instagrammed or on YouTube for example, the more people will go. This brings me to ask do you feel about “hidden gems” becoming more known or places in general becoming more crowded? .
.
I personally like to avoid crowds when I can but the reality is that more and more people are traveling and documenting where they go through photos and video. Those “special places” that were once more of a secret or lesser known are gaining popularity. Is social media to blame? Or should we embrace this? .
.
I think as long as people are respectful of places (not leaving trash behind, etc) then why not share the space. The world is a beautiful place and everyone should try to see as much of it as they can .

Can you see that bright group of pixels in between the tips of the trees slightly left from the middle? It is not some image artifact! It is actually somebody's house in the middle of nowhere. In woods. In mountains. Sometimes living in the apartment makes me desperately want to get a house in exactly such place... Would you enjoy living there?
