megangibson+FollowBeware the Fuzzy Pain Machines!Those adorable, fuzzy caterpillars chilling on Houston trees? Total fakes—they’re asp caterpillars, and their sting hurts way more than a regular bug bite. People and pets are getting zapped just by brushing past them! If you get stung, wash up, ice it, and pop an antihistamine. And if you start feeling really weird, get medical help ASAP. Pro tip: cover up when you’re out near trees this season! #Science #Houston #AspCaterpillar00Share
Zachary Gutierrez+FollowButterfly Comeback Shocks ScientistsA rare UK butterfly just pulled off a wild comeback! The heath fritillary, almost extinct in the '80s, has nearly doubled its numbers this year—thanks to a sunny spring and some clever conservation moves (think: cows grazing to help caterpillars). One spot jumped from just 4 butterflies to 186! Experts are thrilled, but warn that weird weather could still mess things up. Proof that a little help can go a long way for nature! #Science #WildlifeWin #ButterflyBoom90Share
Richard Vaughan+FollowThis Dead Star Is Breaking All the RulesAstronomers just found a 'cosmic unicorn'—a dead star called CHIME J1634+44 that's spinning up instead of slowing down (which is NOT supposed to happen). It's shooting out wild, perfectly spiraled radio bursts and might even have a weird companion star. Scientists are totally stumped and think this could rewrite what we know about dead stars. Space just got a whole lot weirder! #Science #SpaceMystery #CosmicUnicorn10Share
Zachary Gutierrez+FollowEarth’s Secret BLOBS Might Trigger VolcanoesTurns out, the Earth’s insides are way weirder than we thought! Scientists just found two massive ‘BLOBS’ deep under the surface, and they might be the reason volcanoes erupt where they do. These mysterious, continent-sized structures could be driving volcanic plumes and shaping our planet’s wildest eruptions. The wildest part? If we can track these BLOBS, we might actually predict future volcanic hotspots. Imagine a volcano warning system powered by the planet’s hidden blobs! #Science #EarthScience #Volcanoes30Share
Michael Flores+FollowAggressive Fish Take Over Malaysian LakePeacock bass are taking over a Malaysian lake and it’s getting wild. These flashy invaders, originally from the Amazon, are outcompeting local fish and even eating their eggs—yikes! Officials are so worried they’re holding fishing competitions just to get rid of them. Apparently, if you release non-native fish, you could get slapped with a $4,700 fine. Who knew a fish could cause this much drama? #Science #InvasiveSpecies #PeacockBass20Share
Tamara Jones+FollowAmerica’s Deepest Sinkhole Uncovered!Did you see this? Scientists just found the deepest sinkhole in the US, and it’s absolutely wild. Not only does it smash previous depth records, but its sheer size and dramatic vertical walls have geologists buzzing. Discovered with high-tech satellite imaging in a super remote spot, this sinkhole could unlock secrets about underground water systems, ancient geology, and maybe even new species. Who knew the ground could hide something this epic? #Science #ScienceNews #Geology132Share
Patrick Simmons+FollowAlpine Springs Under Attack?!Did you know New Zealand’s gorgeous mountain springs are being taken over by invasive aquatic weeds? Scientists are freaking out because these weeds are totally changing the ecosystem—native species are getting pushed out, and even the water flow is slowing down. The research team is teaming up with locals to fight back, but it’s a race against time. Imagine losing those crystal-clear springs and all the cool creatures living there! Would you trust your country to protect nature like this? #Science #NatureCrisis #InvasiveSpecies00Share
Jessica Hodge+FollowPanda Skeletons in the Sea?!Divers in Japan stumbled on wild sea creatures that look exactly like tiny panda bears wearing skeleton costumes—no joke! What started as a viral diver forum post turned into a legit scientific discovery: a brand new species called Clavelina ossipandae. These little guys are less than an inch tall, help keep reefs clean, and were basically hiding in plain sight. Proof that sometimes, the coolest new finds come from random snapshots and curious hobbyists! #Science #OceanDiscovery #WeirdNature40Share
James Brady+FollowSecret Portal Found Near Pyramids?!Archaeologists just found a mysterious L-shaped structure buried near the Giza pyramids using ground-penetrating radar. The wild part? It might be an ancient entrance to a hidden tomb or chamber! The area’s been overlooked for years, but this new discovery could totally change what we know about Egypt’s burial traditions. Also, Queen Hatshepsut’s statues weren’t trashed out of spite—turns out, it was all part of a ritual. History keeps getting juicier! #Science #AncientEgypt #Archaeology12014Share
Zachary Gutierrez+FollowZebra Mussels Invade the Colorado River?!Wildlife officials just found invasive zebra mussels in the Colorado River, and it’s kind of a big deal. These tiny troublemakers can wreck boats, clog water systems, and mess up the ecosystem—plus, the river supplies water to 40 million people! The state is scrambling with more testing and urging everyone to clean their boats. Have you ever seen these mussels? Would you help stop the spread? This could get wild fast! #Science #ColoradoRiver #InvasiveSpecies30Share
