So recently I’ve been on a bit of an invertebrate kick, that isn’t ending any time soon with the amount of cephalopods in my sights, so have an extinct giant honey bee! Not to be confused with the extant giant honey bee.

Apis Lithohermaea (Giant Honey Bee)
Honey
Stone Messenger Bee

The giant honey bee, (this one at least, there are two. Apis Lithohermaea, the extinct, and Apis Dorsata, the living one) is a fossil specimen first discovered in Japan. Not much is known about these bees other than their impressive size (for bees), and their relative likeness to modern bees. The fossils are impressions in stone, preserving the entire body and wings. It’s also the first bee in the Dorsata species group to be found in the fossil record, and one of the most far north.

Honey’s are very friendly surprisingly. There’s a reason that the Neogene island is one of the most flowering. It’s the abundance of insects like her that buzz around. Often times however, their wings are too small to keep their bodies up, and they’ll accidentally make other creatures into pollinators. They’ll often find a nearby large, furry mammal who won’t swat them away, and just rest on them. All the while, their fuzz is leaking pollen. If they particularly like an animal in their territory, they’ll decorate her in flowers. No, I have not had the chance to find a saxophone to see if they like jazz, shut up.

I wanted to share PaleoColor — a free, open-access database collecting pre-Cenozoic animals whose original coloration has been reconstructed by scientists.

Forgot I can put mutiple pics here so I’m depositing all my notes I took starting back in 2018 on my studies of theropod facial structures and comparing the anatomy to waterfowl and how similar their anatomy is on their jaws

Alienum velamenus reconstruction
took some creative liberties with the width of the body, gills, and interpreted the fossil as having a flat tail for swimming.

SHONE, PAGER, STOKE, FORTH.
That's today's #WordleDoodles!
This is a haiku.

#actionhero #pager #imp #dinosaur #paleoart

A light SHONE upon the action hero holding a pistol.

A disgruntled-looking Squidwardesque fellow glowering at a PAGER. The message on the pager is "1920 - PAGER"

A young imp STOKEs the flames of a small fire by tossing a small log onto it.

An adventurous young theropod dinosaur ventures FORTH into the overgrown unknown, while its sibling looks on with trepidation.

Jeholosaurus shangyuanensis, life-size. A small plant-eater from the Early Cretaceous of Liaoning, China, built at the size of the holotype, a young animal: 72 cm from snout to tail. Skull sculpted on the 2025 CT models by Filippo Bertozzo and colleagues. #Paleontology #PaleoArt #Dinosaurs

Sold! Anhanguera found itself a new home.
There are still drawings left in this series, and here will be a complimentary book with all these illustrations in it with the purchase of a drawing. :)

We have more dino art! This is Eopinacosaurus, an ankylosaurid dino from the Late Cretaceous found in Mongolia! #CapsDinos #Paleoart #Dinosaur

Eopinacosaurus, the ankylosaurid dino. It walks on all fours and it's head, back and tail are all covered in an array of large esteoderm spikes. The spikes are especially large around it's neck. It's head is armored with larger spikes near the back of it's skull. It has thicker esteoderms on it's forelimbs as well. On it's tail is a large boney club, similar to other ankylosaurids. It's brown with a white underbelly. It's head and shoulders have a patterning of yellow. It's osteoderms/spikes and claws are a dark grey.

Terror birds lived more recently than previously thought.

1 bit pixel art of a terror bird, with long legs, reduced wings and a hooked beak. It is stood under foliage while rain falls down onto the rocks and plants, forming puddles.
