Bugs are everywhere and that’s the way it should be

by Aardvark(they/them) near Dublin, County Dublin, Ireland — October 2, 2026 — Gave 4 Hours for Earth

This summer I spent hours photographing bugs in a newly opened area of my local urban park.

This area has been “unkept” for many years so it’s home to a diverse range of silly critters

My community put a path down and left the majority of the plant life to do what it does—yay biodiversity!

Bug Pics! wahoo

by ella (ellasofunny)(she/her) near Illinois, United States — October 2, 2026 — Gave 2 Hours for Earth

With the colder seasons coming up, I’ve been trying to take as many pictures of insects that I see for me to look back on during the winter, since it will be a while until I can get back into seeing them out and about. Here are some that I’ve seen recently :))

The chimpanzee sanctuary that I volunteer at has their largest fundraiser of the year today! I will be working at the in-person event, but there will be a livestreamed version. If anyone is able to support, that would be amazing! Livestream link: https://www.avstream.me/hoot

Beach walks during and after a nor’easter

Went for a beach walk during and after the nor’easter one of these days was a little bit easier to walk on the beach during. The terns were working hard for their fish dinners.

Turtle Rescue Team at the NC State College of Veterinary Medicine

by Cynthia(She/Her) near Raleigh, North Carolina, United States — October 2, 2026 — Gave 2 Hours for Earth

This patient is soaking in water mixed with Critical Care, a powder that gives them added nutrients!

I'm an undergrad apart of the Turtle Rescue Team's leadership team! We're a student-led non-profit organization that intakes wildlife, mainly turtles (Eastern Box Turtles + Yellow-Bellied Sliders) that have suffered traumatic injuries via hit-by-car, chewed-by-dog, etc, and then we release them!

Group tour and hike in Norway

by Djrosayyy (Rose) near Vestland, Norway — October 2, 2026 — Gave 8 Hours for Earth

Steinsdalfossen Waterfall - I got to walk underneath it!

Norway is the most picturesque place ever wtf

Hardanger Fjord - Learned about how fjords are formed and it's kinda nuts.

Lake Bondhusvatn Glacier Lake - taking this picture was right about the time I realized this was the best day ever

It was like being inside a screensaver! I was crying happy tears like the whole day lol

S/O to the American girls in my tour group that took pics for me Smile

You can barely even see the glacier now, but it was so much bigger even just 100 years ago :/

I frickin love slugs! Saw this guy right before we left :) Currently considering a little slug tattoo to commemorate this day lol

Recently came back from my 1st solo international trip! The first stop was Bergen, Norway. I did a group tour and hike in the Folgefonna National Park and it was legitimately the best day of my life. Seeing Fjords and glacier lakes in Norway has been at the top of my bucketlist my whole life.
