Magnificent giant soft green moth with 4 eye spots and long twisty "tail", at rest with wings spread on the side of a pine

Luuuuuuuuuunaaaaaa 💚

Few local creatures stop me in my tracks like this, just the sheer size and soft colors and markings. Like, welp, day instantly better.

Yesss and i missed recording some of the wildest moments. I love hearing them, there's a half dozen or so in the neighborhood by the sound of it 🥹

I bet this Mormon church compound I have to work at today wouldn't let me on site if they knew how much I supported Fred Johnson stealing the Nauvoo from the Space Mormons

Rhizanthes lowii "flower" photo by Ch'ien Lee, a terrible plant structure that looks like a free-range rectum, positively swarming with delighted flies

"flower" of Mitrastemon yamamoti from Suetsugu (2018), another stinky plant structure that attracts a VAST array of insects (including flies, beetles, cockroaches, orthopterans, etc) to come nibble its horrid pink flesh

Yours truly in the black wide brim hat, with Bug and my sis behind me in the selfie. The setting sun is poking through heavy grey clouds behind us over the savannah

Bug and I introduced my sis to one of our favorite central Florida haunts, near Lake Wales Ridge 💚 Not many invertebrates out because the weather was a bit rough, but it was lovely. And there were silly bald eagle noises

Matt Walsh tweet: I can't take the gaslighting, guys. I really can't. Conservatives are now running around saying "Iran has been waging war on us for 47 years." Okay then why didn't any of you call for an attack on Iran at any point until now? Why didn't you make a case for Trump "ending the war, not starting it" until precisely the moment when Trump did it? You and I both know that you are latching onto a talking point you never used until 45 seconds ago. You and I both know that almost every conservative influencer in the business was opposed to war with Iran until just now. And now you're trying to use justifications that stretch back decades. It doesn't make any sense. If you changed your mind, fine. Say so. Explain why. You're allowed to change your mind. I've changed my mind about things. But don't try to rewrite history. Be honest about it. There's too much at stake to play these games.

You're all laughing, but human hotdog costumes only do this when they're subjected to acute cognitive dissonance

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is dead, Iranian state media reports.

If there's a god I bet she's up there toying with the idea of creating hell right now (again)

Went back out with my camera today and the woodcocks started displaying at the exact same time (down to the minute) but of course tonight they stayed in the grass instead of the trails so I saw one for about 30 seconds before I couldn’t see any more for the rest of the night, no time for a tripod:

Bug just finished a quilt with my Brother machine, a cheaper model (I'm not at home and I can't remember which) and it's doing the job well.

we were probably all up last night staring at the ceiling with our own version of the same thought running on endless loop, but mine looked something like this:

I hate these people to a degree that feels simultaneously corrosive to the soul, and also the only righteous response to this kind of evil
