Beautiful Scientific Images From The Biodiversity Heritage Library

Recently, the Biodiversity Heritage Library made millions of beautiful biological images free to use for anyone via their Flickr account.
There are some true gems in here, and they’re free for anyone to use or peruse. We’re just popping a few here to show you the wonderful breadth of this almanac of life.
They cover nature, ecology, anthropology, horticulture, agriculture, biology, chemistry, and much, much more.
