My friends and I found this beetle on our college campus, we think it's a female elephant beetle. The photos were all taken by my friend (photography_dex on instagram).

Puffball mushrooms on campus, they're soft now and should be making spores soon, wish I had found them when they were firm, always wanted to eat one.

World's fattest parrot could be completely wiped out by fungal infection

‘They could all die. Obviously we’re trying very hard for that not to be the case’

The future of the world’s fattest parrot – New Zealand’s kākāpō – is at risk from a dangerous fungal infection. Seven of the birds – an already critically endangered species – have died from aspergillosis, a type of fungus that can lead to a respiratory infection. To date, New Zealand’s Department of Conservation (DOC) confirmed 36 of the remaining population of 142 adults and 72 chicks were in a veterinary hospital. Seventeen of the nocturnal, flightless birds had received a preliminary diagnosis of the disease, which can occur when there is an abundance of the fungal spore in the environment, or if immunocompromised individuals inhale the spores. In this case it’s thought the cause of the outbreak was a large number of spores in nests on Codfish Island (Whenua Hou) in the south of the country. The deaths, which included a 100-day-old chick that died at Auckland Zoo on Tuesday, came just after conservationists had celebrated a record breeding season.

Mmmm polls

Yo, uh, why are there people following me?

Same friend found this spider on his walk yesterday :p

He said it was a "Aranha-de-prata (Argiope argentata) fêmea" or "The Argentina Silver spider"
