My flight was cancelled⛈️, no other options to return to Lima - except a flight from Chiclayo, which is 10 h night bus away. Which turned into a 23h mountain drive due to land slides. But I made new friends, hopefully made new conservationists - looking forward to explain all these tickets to finance

There is no evidence given here that this man’s condition was actually a spider bite. Most likely an antibiotic-resistant bacterial infection. No spider was seen, no venom test, recluses are uncommon in his area, and bites cannot be diagnosed by vague “marks”.

Merry #crustmas from a Japanese (Ryukyu Islands) hermit crab! Sadly, they are collected for the pet trade and at several sites they have been using plastic waste as shelter. 🌟Many great people are working to reverse these threats (get in touch if you are one of them or if you want to learn more).
