- Just one dragonfly can consume over one hundred mosquitos in a day - Dragonflies can fly backwards - They have nearly 360-degree vision - Their wings inhibit bacterial growth due to their natural structures - They're actually beautiful [πŸ“Ή aaaminsk]

Healthy wetlands have a rich natural diversity of plants and animals. These can act as filtering systems, removing sediment, nutrients and pollutants from water. It’s time to advocate for stronger conservation measures and protect these vital ecosystems! Via Convention on Wetlands

Killifishes in the family Rivulidae are usually small (adults 3-6 cm) but the two known species of Titanolebias are relative giants, growing to 15 cm (top) and 22 cm (bottom). Q: Why does a hand-sized fish have a rounded caudal fin? A: Because it is a rivulid.

As the triple planetary crisis of climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution impact the health of land it is essential to halt human activities that lead to land degradation and work towards restoring land to protect livelihoods and biodiversity. #AMCEN Via Convention on Wetlands

So many millions of years lost in the heartbeat of our brief lifetime. Lend a thought for the Chinese paddlefish, Psephurus gladius, which swam in the Yangtze river basin for over 100 million years before succumbing to human activities in just the past 20 years.
