one in four animals on the planet earth is a beetle. think of your three closest friends. if none of them are beetles, statistically speaking you are probably a beetle.

Sup dawg, I heard you like springtails. So I put a springtail on your springtail so you can look at a springtail while looking at a springtail.

Don't let the competition walk all over giant springtails like this cheeky blighter, vote today: https://bugoftheyear.ento.org.nz/2025-bug-of-the-year-nominees/giant-springtail/

The first steps of a sea urchin

The winners of this year’s Nikon Small World in Motion are out, and my favorite is the 5th place entry, A newborn sea urchin walking along the seabed by Alvaro Migotto:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFboBA9ZDPQ

It’s adorable to see these newly metamorphosed echinoderms and their long and chubby tube feet learning how to walk.

This scene reminded me of my master’s, when I watched for the first time young sea biscuits take their own first, wobbly steps. And it’s incredible how, in no time, they would be crawling through sand grains like Spider-Man flies through buildings. You can watch them here.

It also reminded me of the video I recorded during my PhD of young ribbon worms learning how to hunt. Also worth watching.

Full disclosure: Alvaro was my supervisor during my master’s degree ;)
