It's hump day, so check out the cool humps on this federally endangered Cumberland Monkeyface (Theliderma intermedia). This exact specimen was collected in the Powell River, Virginia by @TimLane13 (photo credit) and @VDGIF Aquatic Wildlife Conservation Center

See thread: 5k E. aureola successfully transformed. Covid, be damned!! Of those, ~1,800 have made it to 1 mo. & ~600 um. Please, say a prayer or send a positive vibe to these little clams. They rep the latest positive result for the species but time is running out. #VDGIF_AWCC

Todd Amacker took this close up of the FE Fluted kidneyshell’s conglutinate lures. Incredible detail in the mimicry!! No wonder the fish hosts are easily fooled! #freshwatermussels
