"Aggregation of Ruby Spotted Swallowtail caterpillars on a tree in the Yucatan Peninsula," uploaded to tumblr by user portal2myfantasy. I saw a few tags relate this to the work of Andy Goldsworthy, as in it looks like something he would've arranged.

"Iranian photographer Hossein Fatemi, offers a glimpse of an entirely different side to Iran than the image usually broadcasted by domestic and foreign media. In his photo series An Iranian Journey, many of the photographs reveal an Iran that most people never see, presenting an eye-opening look at the amazing diversity and contrasts that exist in the country."
Uncredited image posted by tumblr user buckleknocker. TinEye yielded no other results for this image.
Attempted to locate the previous picture from buckleknocker's tumblr. TinEye yielded nothing, but i tried an AI reverse image search that yielded all of these. There is one link associated with the buckleknocker image, and i assume it's just his tumblr. This kind of tech unsettled me because of its facial image search. Out of fear-motivated curiosity, i clicked on it, and it gives you a list of things to agree upon, one of them being that using a face which isn't your own could result in legal consequences. Some sort of small comfort that if in the future i find myself descriminated against in new jobs as a consequence for any sex work i've done, i could possibly, maybe, take some sort of action. Maybe.

I was really intruiged by the fossil, and almost immediately upon searching it up, I got mad at this post for not bothering to name the scientist properly. This is Rodolfo Sanchez, and the turtle is a Stupendemys geographicus. The fossil was originally found in Columbia, but this photo is from a museum in Venezuela. All info comes from the New Scientist. Also in this blog post, which i think was modeled after a now non-existent Cosmos article. It was absurdly easy to find this information by simply searching "largest prehistoric turtle shell", so I hope you can see why I'm pissed.
