we've all been bitten by horseflies, right? it sucks. but tabanids are instantly recognizable as such and at least let you know what you're in for, while stable flies (Stomoxys calcitrans) are sneakier. just another unassuming muscid that blends in with the legions of house flies landing on you every summer afternoon, before going to work like this one that's drinking me - although i allowed it so i could get a photo. i figured it was a fair trade

A house fly of some type (genus Phaonia?), on common ivy (species Hedera helix). There's a tiny spider, probably a jumping spider of some kind (family Salticidae), on the leaf across from it.

i feel pretty tired... like theres this overwhelming need for attention that i have and its just not being satiated. i feel like im gonna want more and more attention and im just never going to be satisfied with how much i get. it makes me jealous that other people are getting more notes... i hope i dont become so poisoned by this need that i lose my passion for this
