“Robber Fly”

Is that close enough? 😅

Though it doesn't look like a standard fly, the Robber Fly is actually a fly.

The sheer size of the insect can alarm people unfamiliar with it, but the loud buzzing it creates by furiously beating its wings can be more disturbing.

Flying insects like wasps, bees, beetles, and even other flies are all…

"Since the 1980s, more and more scientists have argued that traits such as cognition are intrinsic not just to animals but to all life – a stance that Pamela Lyon, a philosopher at Adelaide University, calls 'biogenic'."

📖 ICYMI: Paper engineer Maike Biederstaedt builds intricate #ocean #animals in her pop-up book "Creatures of the Deep."

Based on #drawings by #19thcentury zoologist Ernst Haeckel, the #video demos how complex #paper creases fold and unfold with each turn of the page.

🐶 NEW: In #Bengaluru, startup Dognosis trains #dogs to sniff #cancer in human breath, using #AI to read each #animal’s #brain activity and body language. A #study of over 1,500 people reported more than 90% accuracy, though oncologists say they need larger trials.

🐾 NEW: Alfie and Bailey are the first dogs engineered with #CRISPR to lack the major allergen Can f 1. Allergy tests on their saliva and dander showed no reaction, unlike samples from a regular #beagle and other breeds.

Kindred Companion Sciences created them and now plans to breed edited founder #animals for future lines. The #dogs await #FDA approval before sale. Experts note unresolved ethical questions about engineering #pets.

🐶 NEW: Five #bushdog pups born at #England’s #Chester #Zoo recently emerged from their den as part of a European breeding program safeguarding the near-threatened species.

Keepers note their chirping vocalizations resemble #birdsong. Head of #mammals Mark Brayshaw explains that #climatechange, #habitat loss, and #disease transfer increasingly threaten wild populations, and that by the time a species is #endangered it often faces a genetic bottleneck.

New video out!
And the wildlife is back! The first 24 hours or so in New Mexico this year set a precedent for the rest of the week: weather wasn't making any sense compared to the forecasts I'd been hearing, things were dry where they shouldn't be and washed out where it should have been dry. But when animals did show up...they were spectacular.

🐶 NEW: Recording 103 dogs in four situations, researchers found they tilted their heads far more often when owners used familiar words in an excited tone than during silent or unfamiliar #speech.

The motion may signal active #language processing, possibly tied to the left #brain hemisphere, though the small number of tilting #dogs keeps conclusions appropriately cautious.

Getting a pet for your child is a common practice for parents trying to boost their young children's mental health. Spanish epidemiologists collected years of data on pet ownership, including the presence of beloved cats, dogs, birds, and other animals, such as hamsters or reptiles. All positive … except for cats. @ScienceAlert dives into the study and hypotheses:

🦟 NEW: Researchers tested how three South #Florida mosquito species, Aedes aegypti, Aedes albopictus, and Culex quinquefasciatus, responded to 119 human volunteers using a device that let #insects approach without biting.

They matched each species to specific #skin odors and bacterial communities. Each #mosquito favored different #microbes, and no single person attracted all three species.
