I needed a few days away from Social Media including #Mastodon but am back now with an image of this beautiful butterfly.

I’ve never gone out intentionally to photograph #butterflies but I’ve been so happy to see so many about on my walks along the river here in #Aberdeen.

So now I’ve got something else I can try to photo and it’s a fun new challenge.

I hope you enjoy the colours and details on this Small Tortoiseshell despite it being a simple “point-and-shoot” photo with no thought for composition!

Your characters kill the monster. But it was actually stopping something worse.

An isopod scratches in the dirt.

It uncovers an arm, which twitches to life amidst muffled cries of inarticulate effort.

A guitarist in black leather with long hair emerges, other people in black leather begin to free themselves. The guitarist says, "*GASP* Thank you A. Vulgare! Being trapped underground for weeks was putting mad strain on the band."

A. Vulgare replies, "No problem. Isopods are great at removing heavy metal from soil."

Alguna vez cometí el error de cambiar #Misskey por #Furrokey (digo, Calckey)

Lo bueno que en aquel tiempo todavía no se bifurcaba demasiado, y las bases de datos eran compatibles entre sí

Eran puros #bugs y #glitches, los cuales iban siendo corregidos en Misskey

Y así

Si Misskey fuese compatible con dos software de relé que uso, quizá, quizá una vez más...

I make frequent use of DuckDuckGo's "lite" page both to search from the command-line directly ("ddg" being the shell function I've defined), and from within the w3m browser (a full-screen terminal browser that's ... actually pretty damned cool).

I'd just set the user-agent for w3m to deal with another site's bot defences (<coff>HN<coff>), and ... discovered that that same setting triggered DDG's same, generating "403 Forbidden" responses.

DDG not only responded to my email on this in just over half an hour but fixed the problem.

And I've got outstanding bugs filed to Google well into their 2nd decade.

Some baby large milkweed bugs I took pictures of on September 16th 2020, in Pennsylvania! I was just going through my tumblr blog and looking for more old pictures I haven't put on iNaturalist yet :)

They came to the common milkweed in our yard there for the two(?) years since I noticed it and let it grow. I always loved watching them, I called them my babies :)

(Edit: BTW all my photos are public domain unless I specify otherwise, you are encouraged to save / share this wherever you want :) )

A photograph of a cluster of large milkweed bugs gathered on a common milkweed pod. The milkweed bugs are in various stages of growth, with some very small and other almost adult size. All are bright red and orange in color, with black heads, antenne and legs. Those closer to being adults also have small, still-forming black wings on their backs. The milkweed pod is light green and covered with soft spikes. The leaves are dark green, and there is a chainlink fence visible in the background.

I wondered what this very flat bug was. iNaturalist informs me that it's a kind of "flat bug". I shoulda known.

A black bug perches at the tip of a green leaf. We see it from the side. The bug has a grainy texture like rusty iron. Its body is very flat top-to-bottom. The background is soft waves of blurry green.

The same bug as in the preceding picture, but now we see it from behind and above. Its body is shaped somewhat like an ash seed.

#plants #bugs #hemiptera #insects #arthropods #nature #photography #green #red

Green stems, from which hang unopened green blossoms, zigzag across an expanse of blurry green. One blossom hangs in the foreground. Atop it is a bright red bug, facing downward. We see him from the side. His long, pointy mouthparts are tucked underneath his body. His eyes are dark red balls. His legs and antennae are black. He stands in this sea of green.... Contemplating his next meal? Thinking of the last? Or just letting the green wash around him, as he stands there, staunchly red.

I was sifting some compost from my pile and found these two huge buggers. I didn't do any measurements, but I'd say 4 to 6 times larger than other grubs I've found around the yard; the sifter grate grid is 13mm.

An identification would be fun.

A sibling of the other grub, but nearer the sifting grate for size comparison. The grid of the grate is spaced at 13mm.

So it seems a mild swarm of soldier beetles has descended on this house. Turns out they're pretty chill and just go around pollinating stuff.

But for a few moments before I was able to ID them (Thanks to the Picture Insect app on #iOS) it's fair to say I was freaking the hell out.

Living in the countryside got me out here taking photos of all kinds of bugs - this is way better than Pokémon! I’m up to 36 collected ☺️

One thing I love about the countryside is the wide range of fauna. Today I spent a lot of time gardening, and made some insect friends along the way.

Today I saw an Egyptian Locust, a Drone Fly (which I thought was a bee) and some kind of Ground Beetle - if anyone’s knows specifically I’d love to learn what, Carabus Coriaceus?

An Egyptian Locust which is a species of short-horned grasshopper. It’s resting on a bright green palm leaf it’s eating it’s way through.
