It's very funny to me how this book was clearly written to cash in on anti-woke panic and is now so painfully out of date that it may as well not exist. Also of course it's a Lawrence Krauss joint. Read his Wikipedia page for an Epstein jump scare.

Cool little Hemerodromiinae we used to test out our new microscope camera + focus stacking. Worked well I think!

Ireland's Incredible Invertebrates! @microwild.bsky.social · 28/11/2024

Did you know? In my 'spare time' I run a biodiversity project here in Wicklow, called www.microwild.org. My time is free, but other things cost money. If you could spare a donation, you would have my forever gratitude (at least until the next time). GoFundMe here: bit.ly/microwild

A circular badge with many black and red invertebrates contained therein. On the outside ring it says, Help Me, Help Invertebrates.

I've just completed illustrating some pests & damage for FOR Sweden. Who knew painting maggots & rotting fruit could be so much fun? Two of the apples below are damaged by the Plum weevil #Conotrachelusnenuphar, two by the # Apple maggot fly #Rhagoletispomonella #sciart #botanicalillustration

Apple damaged by Conotrachelus nenuphar Plum weevil. Maggot holes leave the fruit mis shapen and dented. Early fruit fall is common.

Apple damaged by Conotrachelus nenuphar Plum weevil, the marks are moon shaped oviposition scars
