Only 0.6% of known cockroach species are pests! The group is really charismatic if we look beyond our (often negative) reflexive reactions to them.

Sybil! I really like this pic because you can see the hexagonal patterns on his eyes.

Moth Variety Pack from the front yard tonight.

I have been STRESSED OUT and BUSY and also I got bronchitis (but I didn’t lose my voice until AFTER I finished teaching a four hour workshop on iNaturalist Saturday morning, thankfully). The Master Naturalist Annual Meeting (and that four hour workshop…) was the major time sink the past few weeks so now I have no excuse for slacking in the blog department (besides the whole desperate employment search thing).

Anyway.

People are always excited about how ants can lift way more than their bodyweight but I’m not impressed. I can lift dorito crumbs too its not that hard

If ants were really strong then they’d be able to grow bigger without being crushed by the weight of their own stupid exoskeleton
