Loved that movie. I went in blind with only the vaguest praise from my timeline and didn’t expect it to be so (intentionally) hilarious.

Writer and illustrator H.A. Rey -- co-creator of Curious George 🐵 with Margret Rey -- was born #OTD in 1898. He also made an enormous contribution to amateur astronomy, bringing the joy of the night sky to countless readers, as I wrote for @nautil.us a while back: nautil.us/readers-love...

Pruning disturbed Big Green Hotdog (Polyphemus Silk Moth caterpillar)

Seconding the recommendations for discouraging cuts with wire/metal, and possibly flagging, if you do have a nice talk with her and they still might thoughtlessly cut your trees. As a groundskeeper, those things *usually* force people to notice.

When I want a greater understanding of the world around me I read/listen to a book by a scientist in that field, not argue with them. This is the point being made, not that curiosity is wrong. And this situation this has long been a problem before AI, it’s just even worse now.

For the last day of #InverteFest I give you one of my favorite #spiders! I love seeing Sierra Dome Spiders, the woods in the old site of Never Never Land at Point Defiance Park were full of them. I love their intricate and unique individual markings, and how the threads of their sheet webs glitter.

Back view of a Sierra Dome Spider in her web, the shape of the dome curving unevenly across upper half of the image with the spider sitting at the top.
Filtered sunlight shines bright on evergreen huckleberry bushes in the background.

“Lost media” no longer! I finally got permission to upload “AL’S BRAIN,” an 11-minute educational 3-D film attraction which ran at the Orange County and Western Washington fairs, and hasn’t been seen publicly since 2009. You can watch the whole thing here: youtu.be/2xujU87ZHt4

late to #invertefest but just wanted to show off that our yard is blessed with multiple generations of native Banded Alder Borer Beetles! They arrived en masse after we kept log sections of a problem tree that had to be cut down, and their offspring have been slowly pupating and emerging ever since.

Closeup view from the front facing a Banded Alder Borer Beetle, looking down as it crawls up a door frame.

Full body view of a Banded Alder Borer Beetle, with its long black and white striped antenna and large black and white spotted markings clearly visible, climbing up a brown door frame.

A couple years back a local landscaper/yard service was making nuisance property reports on the houses where they left cards 💀 Even if I liked the idea of extra social interaction I’d be *incredibly* suspicious.

The groundskeepers always spare this big clump of daisies in the lawn of one of the campus gardens. May its power grow ever stronger!

The rebellions continue! The publisher Springer put pressure on a journal's editors to accept more papers, just to make more money. The editors resigned and started their own journal, which is peer reviewed and 'diamond open access'. That means FREE to publish in and FREE to read! (1/n)
