Greetings from an impressive great green bush-cricket! She grumbled that we humans shouldn't pick up animals and insects for no reason on our hands, especially for photos. We should imagine a giant monster with ungreen skin catching us! Would we like that? Ungreen skin?! 🥶
She was very grumpy. Even telling that I only catch her in my room to save her to the garden didn't calm her. She bit me three times. I would have done the same. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tettigonia_viridissima
@sundogplanets I hate to recommend myself (feels so conceited). But when you are shovelling shit and you have these microscopic cheese making helpers ... during the pandemic, I had an interview with dung bacteria (they were quite friendly!) and watched monsters in the kitchen: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/season-01-ep-04-sitting-with-your-beloved-sourdough/id1630784381?i=1000587422166 (and by every podcatcher.)

2/2 be found sunbathing on stones, and tree trunks. They love #climatechange and wander slowly northwards.
Gardeners, who don't like them, can prevent nymphae becoming adult by talking to them ... via the pheromones of Abies balsamea wood chips. Their scent, the #Juvabione, mimicks the juvenile hormone of firebugs. But why should one do this!

🧵 If you listened to my micro-macro-amplifyer you could hear a "roaaarrr!" against #aphids on my rose. In German, #ladybird larvae are called Blattlauslöwen, #aphid lions.
Because of the warm winter and the terrible dryness, we have myriads of aphids. And because of farmers using more pesticides, we have less #insects and insect eating #birds. So more aphids*. Everything is #interconnected. Read ALT!

How to gild moss
I recently stumbled upon @NatureMC's podcast #NatureMatchCuts, in particular the episode on moss. Very engaging and worth a listen! I would love something like that in German for my daughter.

#Moss can release scents to attract flies, mites or springtales to transport their spores. "If #mosses could smell, #petrichor and #geosmin would be their favourite scents - they are messengers of water." Not only their sexlife is fascinating: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/moss-the-emerald-treasure/id1630784381?i=1000707856049

Why must everything be only complicated?! My hoster changed the platform server adress and it's a jungle of publishing the new episode of #NatureMatchCuts because the old ones are not fetched. I'm to tired for a problem analyse (think the RSS adress also changed). Could happen that I have to change it manually on all platforms.
But at least here it is on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/2s4OZWgIdIXyzpq2FB3tvR?si=OOw619d1RuWw0O2VGrnYKA

2/2 BTW, my interview guest got grumpy. I never experienced such a cuddly person and so grumpy. But she has a great message for humans!
1/2 "Im Kaschde" 🎬 as we say it in Alsatian. Time for the wrap party! 🥂
The producer, speaker, interview guest, technician, coffee assistant, writer, and editor * have to drink a very big coffee and sit in the sun beside a moss cushion to wake up for the evening work.
* alltogether exactly one person
Tomorrow, the sound engineer (same person) will wake up early for working. The new episode of #NatureMatchCuts about moss will be published on Friday.
