Today's wasp of the day is the Dryinus koebelei!

These ant-mimics target plant hopper nymphs. The wasp's egg is placed under the plant hopper's wing and grows like a cyst while it treats the hopper like a giant juice box.

This family of wasps are often called pincher wasps for their raptorial forelegs that they use to snatch their hosts before giving them a quick temporarily paralyzing sting. They also can be seen at times standing and even walking on their hind legs like little mantis wannabes.

Get scruggy with it

Not my usual post but the fact that Reform is attempting to put forward proposals to disallow the use of Scottish Gaelic, Irish and Cornish on election leaflets is quite frankly a baffling concept.

These are native UK languages. And whilst I absolutely agree that other languages (such as Scots, Urdu and Punjabi) should also be allowed on leaflets, the fact that Reform thinks Celtic languages that have existed longer than ENGLISH on this island shouldn't be on political material is fucking telling of how supportive they allegedly are of the United Kingdom as a whole.

These people don't support 'the British people'. They support the ENGLISH, and a very specific group of English people at that.

People in Scotland, Ireland, Wales and Cornwall deserve to be represent in every aspect of their lives. That includes the language.

The only reason Farage hasn't been able to go after Welsh is because it's legal protections are stronger than the others and he physically can't. But I PROMISE that would have been on there too if he could have done it.

It won't be the first time Celtic cultures have been targeted or treated as an 'other'. It won't be the last. All it takes is reading any article about Gaelic revitalisation, Cornish roadsigns, or making Welsh compulsory in school to know that. A large percentage of the English don't get why these cultures want to celebrate their own culture. They don't want it.

Remember folks: Reform is never on your side if you're not one of them. And if you value your own independent culture, you're NOT one of them.

I wish y'all put as much energy as y'all do expecting Black people to be the bigger person, into telling antiblack bigots to be better people.

I think it's a... Sign, I suppose, of the comfort of antiblackness, that it's easier to continue to beg Black people for patience, to expect it, feel entitled to it even, than it is to go to your peers and tell them to knock it off. Personally. There's a quote, I wish I could remember it, about the finite-ness of Black Patience. Mm.

Also, agave nectar as a sweetner is absolutely trashing the ecosystem where the plants grow, throwing other plant species, mammals and insects out of whack in order to meet rising demands.

If you are trying to cut sugar or go vegan to help the environment, stay away from agave, it's a disaster.

Honey, actual farmed honey, from honey bees, is more eco-friendly than agave, sugar beet, or sugar cane. And, contrary to popular belief, properly managed hives don't actually change the bees' lives from what they would be doing in the wild anyway.

Please be kind to our mouse dragons, we need them so much (and they are so fucking cute).
