At times in life...

More harm can be done in a careless seconds
Than help can arrive in hours

Keep your head in the game

So many people on Earth
Being unimportant seems inevitable

But we are connected in so many ways
Never accept the idea anything is irrelevant

As #forests are cut down, #butterflies are losing their colours
#Insects’ brilliant hues evolved in lush ecosystems to help them survive. Now they are becoming more muted to adapt to degraded landscapes – and not the only things dulling down
Researchers discovered being colourful in the Amazon may be turning into a disadvantage in 2019. A team in #rainforest discovered #butterfly species changed significantly depending on their environment, and their colours followed suit

@cvvhrn Thanks! Yesterday was even better! #butterflies Bear in mind this is Oakland…. in November!

@DeniseG Interesting study. “ Initial modeling suggested that monarch-vehicle collisions in Texas may account for a significant portion of the species’ overwintering losses, underscoring the need for more refined migration data.”
