Anting is a maintenance behavior during which birds rub insects, usually ants, on their feathers and skin. The insects secrete liquids containing chemicals such as formic acid, which can act as an insecticide, miticide, fungicide, or bactericide.

Some birds engage in one of nature’s strangest rituals — anting, the act of picking up live ants and rubbing them all over their feathers. It might look bizarre, but it’s a brilliant survival strategy ⚡️😲 When ants are disturbed, they release formic acid, a natural chemical that helps kill parasites, bacteria, and mites hiding in the bird’s plumage

Some female birds have a brood patch, which is a bare spot on the belly. This loss of feathers adaptation provides direct contact between her eggs and her warm skin during incubation

Beach day! The bloat hangs out together on the beach. Hippos secrete an oily red liquid, called blood sweat, which acts as a sunscreen, lotion, and even an antiseptic.

Today's lesson at the school for young Elephants is…. DUSTING! A young Elephant learning new skills in the Kruger National Park. Elephants dust bath for skin protection from the sun, insects, and parasites, temperature regulation by cooling their skin, and maintaining their health and social behavior. 🎦 Credit: Pondoro Game Lodge.

Fun fact. The loudest cicadas can reach the same noise level as a chainsaw and are the loudest insects in the world 🔊

The first thunder of spring marks the beginning of the Awakening of Insects, a time when all things begin to grow. During this period, nature is revitalized, with flowers, trees, insects, and birds bringing new colors to the earth. The plants and animals at the CGN nuclear power plant base also enjoy the essence of spring rain and dew. #AwakeningofInsects; #ChineseTraditionalCulture; #Biodiversity

Seals sleep in the water as well as on land. Because they are sleeping and not actively swimming, they can stay under water much longer than when hunting for food (which is on average about 30 minutes). This aquarium time lapse shows their behavior.

Motion blur can obscure important details of an animal's behavior. Now, researchers can video tiny insects in flight blur-free. That and more of the best in Science Magazine and science in this edition of #ScienceAdviser:

Good morning dear friends 💙💚💜🤍💙💚💜🤍💙💚💜 He who is indifferent to the beauty,elegance, intelligence that a cat is capable of is as poor as the one who walks in the summer along a country road, blind to flowers and deaf to the singing of birds and the buzzing of insects🐈

The best NASA clips of astronauts in ‘Space’ are the ones where they inadvertently capture a flies & insects on camera. This has happened multiple times now, so either insects can either now live in space, or perhaps, just perhaps, NASA are filming on Earth.

Goldfinch. Yet another reason to avoid spraying or pulling those dandelions at this time of year. Always a joy to see them in the garden gorging on the seeds of this really important flower that sustains so many insects and birds. #birds #wildlife #nature #biodiversity #ireland

Did you know? Pearls are made by marine oysters and freshwater mussels as a natural defence against an irritant such as a parasite, secreting layers of aragonite and conchiolin which in turn creates "mother of pearl" which encases the irritant.
