I encountered this Bursaria truncatella after it "inhaled" a Paramecium. I was hoping to see the Paramecium get sealed into a vacuole, but instead it finally managed to escape! My students have nicknamed Bursaria "Micro Roomba." LOL

Certainly looks that way
The performative religious stuff is as creepy as all get out too
A lot of people have excused a lot of very ugly things that way

Two tawny frogmouths perched on a palm tree branch. Both have large, bright orange eyes and fluffy facial feathers, and they stare directly toward the camera while sitting side-by-side.

Looking lively just before taking off for the night to hunt for insects.

Kristi Noem's New Job as Envoy of 'Shield of the Americas' Explained President Donald Trump made a surprise announcement that Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem will transition into a newly created role called Special Envoy for the "Shield of the Americas."

They can dress it up any way they like in the ‘business press’, but
It’s still tosh…
Trump couldn’t stand anyone getting more pictures taken of them than him… that’s all it is

I’m Australian, so I imagine my response when I heard the title was the same as yours… ‘What utter tosh is this now?’

They’re not selling their story too well on the visual front… hideous, closely packed, no set-back, no open space multi-story flats in their accompanying pic

What we have is a crisis in planning imo

Funny you should mention it… we have a row of fig trees nearby… the flying foxes seem to arrive in Jan & hang around until the figs are all gone… still a few coming in each night
I’ve never managed to get a good photo, but I got binoculars for Xmas… definitely them!!
