Here is your Wednesday Weevil. It was only three or four mm. long. The first pic shows that it has what looks like a parasitic mite attached to it. Rhyncolus sp., Nebraska. 🐙🌿 #BugSky

A macro photo looking down on a glossy black weevil on rotting wood. The weevil is elongated and its upper surface is heavily dimpled. There is a tiny hemispherical orange object, I assume a parasitic mite, attached to the weevil on its lower right.

I think when you mash the "repeat" button on YouTube music TWICE to repeat the same song indefinitely they should automatically increase the volume because clearly you're JAMMING.

'You're adopted' ---------- (For the non-palaeo folks, this is in light of a newly published paper re-establishing that #Nanotyrannus, previously understood to be a juvenile #T.rex, is indeed its own genus after all.)

Single panel comic in sepia tones of a Tyrannosaurus addressing a Nanotyrannus with the words 'you're adopted,' to which the Nanotyrannus replies, 'WOW.'

Steam and itch.io have removed thousands of video games in recent weeks deemed to be "adult content" in order to comply with strict rules from payment processors like Mastercard. These policies censor artists engaged in lawful speech. Mastercard shouldn't be the gatekeepers of our digital freedom.

Why did thousands of adult titles just disappear from the biggest PC gaming marketplaces?

Digital distribution platforms Steam and itch.io have tightened their rules about adult content – under pressure from payment processors. Why has this happened and where will it lead?

Melissodes, the long horned bee! Named because of those majestic antennae. Happy I planted plenty of sunflowers for them! #nativebeesarethebest

Here are your Saturday Skippers. Skippers are (often) small, fast butterflies with chunky, fuzzy bodies, big eyes, and (often) earth-tone colors. These were at the National Museums Collection Center in Edinburgh, Scotland, where my wife & I had an amazing visit hosted by @ashwhiffin.bsky.social. 🌿🐙

The recent rain was what it took to finally get my very first sunflower of the season! I had to reach as far up as I could for the shot because this guy is 8 ft tall 😍 #nativetoPA (but not technically since this is a "Ring of Fire" variety)

I found a fluorite frog friend in the collections the other day. We do have quite a few carved #minerals and it's always a nice surprise when I come across them while looking through drawers!

A carving of a frog in a sitting pose, made from translucent fluorite that's got pink, black and colourless banding. Its eyes and toes are carved lines. I'm pointing at it with a blue nitrile gloves finger - the frog is a bit shorter than my finger.

Cephalanthus occidentalis (button bush) is finally blooming. An amazing native plant for the east coast, attracts tons of pollinators, and a larval host to the hydrangea sphinx, the royal walnut moth, and the titan sphinx moths! Hope I get some of them next year. #buggies

Had an awesome weekend trip at Indian Echo Caverns and got to be a goblin in the rocks. No licking the cave though it's still actively growing.
