Likewise. It’s on my schedule for tomorrow. I will check whether Hoyle voted “present” as she usually does with controversial votes concerning Israel

Call Merkley and Wyden. Democratic Senators can remove Schumer from a leadership position.

All the more reason to promote organic agriculture

Lilioceris = Lily horn? Cool name and pretty beetle.

Does anyone else remember Tang? Or am I too old?

What I find amusing is when disabled ships are listing…. Another convention?

I cut up a small clear plastic rule into short lengths.

Such good news!

Agreed. Generically, that habit is specious.

And not fold their legs in a way that hides the most diagnostic characters

You will be very welcome! I just plugged your blog on my lab discord server

While I try to avoid shadows in my photography, I find the pics from spacegecko in the link to be quite charming

I don’t know why I haven’t yet, but I just subscribed to your blog. Looking forward to new posts.

Ah, I do indeed do some of that. I just remember some studies of more intense hyporheic sampling under streams and rivers, using pvc traps rammed pretty deep - and it seems pretty difficult!

also getting your feet wet?

So cute!

The double entendres of “take out” makes this movie suspenseful.

Party that. But note that they are neat pollinators, carrying pollen for their own consumption in leg baskets. Native bees are super messy and carry pollen on body hairs, more easily brushed off by stigmas. Gross oversimplification but usually holds

Also don’t forget that honeybees are relatively poor pollinators compared with many native species.

Indeed!

I notice that a handful of my recent blue sky followers are entomologists or other bug enthusiasts. Yay! If you are interested in the activities of my “lab” you are welcome to join my lab’s discord server. Just reply here or message me and I will send an invitation link.

What a story!

As my dad paraphrased, “a penny tossed is a penny lost”

Video raises questions??? No, it answers the questions.
