A disturbing (and beautifully done) graphic and story by #Reuters on #insects. Makes you wonder... https://www.reuters.com/graphics/GLOBAL-ENVIRONMENT/INSECT-APOCALYPSE/egpbykdxjvq/ via @joostvkasteren
@rianvisser Wat een heerlijk gedicht. Ken je deze recensie van het boek? Vond het erg lezenswaardig. https://neerlandistiek.nl/2022/10/om-niet-te-hoeven-stoppen-van-geluk/
@janbeuving Ik heb een oude Bausch and Lomb binoculair die het met wat led-lampjes erbij nog prima doet, en enkele oude programmeerbare HP-calculators.
Friday Flyday! Here’s a bee-mimicking robber fly (Laphria) feeding on a honey bee it has killed.
@TheGrumpySociologist@mstdn.ca ChatGPT just came up with this one:
O Great and Mighty Spaghetti Monster,
We humbly come before thee,
With bowls and forks in hand,
And hearts full of love and gratitude.
We thank thee for the gift of pasta,
The divine strands of wheat and water,
Blessed by thy noodly appendages,
And cooked to perfection with sauce and cheese.
We praise thee for the abundance of vegetables,
The colorful and nutritious treats,
Tender and savory, a delight to our taste,
A bounty fit for kings and queens.
We beseech thee, O Spaghetti Monster,
To look upon us with mercy and kindness,
To fill our bellies and nourish our souls,
And to guide us on the path of carb-filled bliss.
We ask this in thy holy name,
Hail Pasta, Hail Vegetables,
Forever and always, Amen.

One of my favourite display cases in the new #Insectarium of #Montréal . The #beetles are so beautiful!
It took countless hours by the #entomology technicians to pin the specimens and to create this masterpiece. The other display cases are just as impressive :)

@alfagrl In zekere zin is er misschien weinig mis mee, als je bedenkt dat er ook nog genoeg te jagen valt. Ik zie iig nog aardig wat insectenfoto's langs komen.
