For scale, the butterfly eggs in this shot are 1.8 mm in size.

"The overall winner in the ’18 and over’ category is Raghuram Annadana (Instagram: @macro_by_raghu) for his photo ‘Parasitic Play’ showing the eggs of a Banana Skipper butterfly (Erionota thrax) taken in India. He captured a parasitic wasp in the act of laying its own eggs inside the butterfly eggs. "

We've made a shelf just for classic #ScienceFiction in the SF section, here are three Joe has loved over the years:

The Illustrated Man: as a youngster, this short story collection was my gateway into the works of Ray Bradbury (still reading him today)

I Am Legend, Matheson's slim classic (oft-filmed, never really quite getting the book) captures that era of Cold War paranoia, fear and isolation

Wasp, a delightful, slightly anarchic adventure romp, beloved by Terry Pratchett. A highly resourceful agent is dropped on an enemy planet to cause distractions (the way a wasp can distract a much larger creature). The humour is like a forerunner of Harrison's later Stainless Steel Rat.

We’re building a WORLDWIDE RESISTANCE
against an international collusion of billionaires whose aim is to enslave us ...

💙💙 we need to stay close. "hold hands", at times. keep our eyes open, and communicate with each other. 🧑‍🤝‍🧑

One way to do that is to post to, congregate, & organize around these hashtags:

#TruthWarriors ❕i suggest #TruthWarriors tag, across apps. AMPLIFY YOUR VOICE BY NETWORKING & SPEAK OUT, Here we reveal the truth the MSM is purposely ignoring Truth Warriors!

#HearthWarriors 🫂 -- we defend love, aliveness, our communities, our relationships, & the embraced & happy of life. Minneapolis, Portland, Eugene, NYC, Chicago...

#MirthWarriors 🐸 -- we resist in a way that transcends the dichotomy of good evil highlighting the absurdity of the battle itself. this is the Trickster aspect of Divinity. it is "bugs bunny" activism. unattached, humorous, & unentangled

#wasp 🐝-- this is the fact that the powerless can elicit change through small targeted attacks of truth by ordinary otherwise powerless people. the novel "Wasp" inspires this mode of resistance.

#WWResistance 🧑‍🤝‍🧑-- this is the fact that this resistance to oppression is worldwide & is exemplified in the struggles of oppressed people in Iran, Ukraine, Palestine, Belarus, Russia, & other countries worldwide where simple authentic humanness is met with brutality, rape, & murder

#WWRevolution 🌍✊ -- this is the global effort for liberation, freedom, aliveness, & love. I am you and you are me and we

So... I found 3D print models are available for big massive #wasp nests. Perfect for front door #ICE repellent and also a valuable home for beneficial wasps of the garden. I noticed last year the wasps were often looking for a good place to build a home for their family. I believe these may also be made with papier-mâché over a balloon too. Fun art project for the whole family.

Paper Wasp / As far as I am concerned, these guys are the stealth fighter jets of the insect kingdom. They just look mean. Surprisingly though they are super chill when I’m inches away from them.

I’ve been going through the archives looking at second picks I mostly ignored. Luckily there is a lot to choose from.
