Bob Tregilus<p>It's World Frog Day! Interesting toot by <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mstdn.social/@compoundchem" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>compoundchem</span></a></span> regarding poison dart frogs of Central &amp; S. America. They collect poison from food sources through bioaccumulation &amp; they avoid poisoning themselves by a mutation that prevents the poison from jamming open sodium ion channels that interfere with their nervous system. The tiny golden poison frog has enough poison to kill up to 20 humans! They might be super cute, but they're super deadly as well.</p><p><a href="https://www.compoundchem.com/2017/09/26/poisonousfrogs/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">compoundchem.com/2017/09/26/po</span><span class="invisible">isonousfrogs/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/WorldFrogDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WorldFrogDay</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Frogs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Frogs</span></a></p>

Journeys In Film<p>Did you know that there are over 1000 species of frogs in the Amazon- and those are the ones we know about! 🐸</p><p>For World Frog Day, we want to highlight award-winning documentary River of Gold, about the Amazon River Basin. Lesson 4 in our free curriculum guide explores the Biodiversity of the Amazon. It's a great way to inspire students about conservation efforts to protect frogs, and the other flora and fauna of the Amazon. This lesson is designed for grades 9-10 and is a great choice for Biology, Environmental Studies, and Geography classes!</p><p>This lesson is available in English, Spanish and Portuguese.</p><p>Learn more: <a href="https://journeysinfilm.org/product/river-of-gold/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">journeysinfilm.org/product/riv</span><span class="invisible">er-of-gold/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/WorldFrogDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WorldFrogDay</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/Frogs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Frogs</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/AmazonRainnforest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AmazonRainnforest</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/Ecology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ecology</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/Biodiversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Biodiversity</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/StemEd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StemEd</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/Education" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Education</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/Homeschooling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Homeschooling</span></a> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/education" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>education</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/edutooters" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>edutooters</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/stemed" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>stemed</span></a></span></p>

ater<p>For <a href="https://sb17.space/tags/MarshMadness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MarshMadness</span></a> and in (dubious) honor of <a href="https://sb17.space/tags/WorldFrogDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WorldFrogDay</span></a> I've painted a water scavenger beetle, Regimbartia attenuate. These tiny, unassuming guys are famous for their ability to avoid predation by frogs... by crawling right out the other end, unscathed. Prevailing theory is that a strengthened exoskeleton keeps the beetles safe from digestive enzymes as they crawl their way through the frog's digestive tract, and air pockets trapped in the elytra allow them to breathe until they can get some fresh air outside.</p><p><a href="https://sb17.space/tags/SciArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SciArt</span></a> <a href="https://sb17.space/tags/InsectArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>InsectArt</span></a> <a href="https://sb17.space/tags/watercolor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>watercolor</span></a></p>
