Another highlight of #Singapore was the #CloudForest which featured a huge artificial waterfall inside a “bio dome” (I am not sure if that is the correct term, but it was like a massive greenhouse with various plants inside). @darnell@darnell.ooo (Out Of Office) https://darnell.ooo/p/darnell/716432494011074718

We found a very special visitor to the farm this morning.

Moments like these fill our sails to keep doing what we do.

Esta mañana en ontramos un visitante muy especial en la granja.

Momentos como estos llenan nuestras velas para seguir haciendo lo que hacemos.

#NewSpecies of #PirateSpiders discovered on South Atlantic island https://www.nhm.ac.uk/discover/news/2024/february/new-species-pirate-spiders-discovered-south-atlantic-island.html

Two new sympatric species of the pirate #spider genus Ero C.L. Koch, 1836 from the cloud forest of #SaintHelena Island, South Atlantic Ocean https://europeanjournaloftaxonomy.eu/index.php/ejt/article/view/2417

"Having been confused for a closely related species, the 2 new #spiders have been hiding out on #StHelena for decades. Now newly recognised, it’s hoped the spiders will provide added impetus to preserve the island’s threatened #CloudForest."
