Hi, I'm Andrew and I’m just a simple zoology student and crustacean researcher from Ohio. This blog centers around animal IDs so feel free to send me any unknown species (and its location) that you have and I will take my best shot at IDing it! I also occasionally post random zoology/animal factoid things.
Disclamer: none of the pictures are mine unless stated

Bronze-winged Jacana (Metopidius indicus)
…the sole member of the genus Metopidius, the bronze-winged jacana is a species of jacana (Jacanidae) that is native to India and parts of southeastern Asia including Indonesia. Like other members of the family Jacanidae, bronze-winged jacanas are typically seen near bodies of water where they will use their large feed to walk on floating vegetation. Their diet consists mainly of insects and other invertebrates which are plucked from vegetation or the water’s surface. Like other jacanas, male bronze-winged jacanas are responsible for the incubation of eggs.
