HECK YES Brian you found a treasure, those little guys look like fairy shrimp. They occur in ephemeral forest puddles in late winter. John Fleckenstein, retired DNR natural heritage scientist, studies these shrimp and he'd love to get all of your observation deets.

The dense aquarium jungle is pretty, but overdue for pruning. The only space for fish to swim freely was right up front. Hair algae was the last straw! After a brutal thinning it looks sparse but the fish are loving the space. Even the lone shrimp made an appearance. #aquarium #fishsky 🐠

This is Bean, she (?) is cheerful and has a can-do attitude. I got her to be a helper for another goldfish that had some physical problems. Bean was a top-notch nurse fish, but eventually the older fish died. Now Bean needs a buddy.

Check out this beautiful waterfall and its resident Valentine Orb on Fossil Creek in Arizona. This is a tributary to the Verde River.

We had a short trip to Arizona and my hub noticed this adorable, fuzzy scarab beetle. iNat suggests it is the "Punctate Little Bear Scarab Beetle". I'm a sucker for anything cute and fuzzy, even beetles.

He was not afraid when a 64-kilometre-long military convoy was moving toward Kyiv, when the Russians were advancing tens of kilometres a day, and when there was no help from the West or other countries. Naive fools think that he will be afraid now.

Stay peaceful and respectful,stand on a sidewalk nearby if not allowed on campus. The presence of a bunch of people in a capitol city will be noticed. My risk is the expense of gas getting there and possibly not being allowed on campus. NBD compared to what others are facing right now.

If your local Democratic group advises avoiding rallies at state Capitols if you don't know your group is permitted, now is not the time to worry about paperwork.Rump and Muskox do not have permits to gut democracy, gain access to your ss info or to shut down institutions they don't understand.

The fed bios are women who have been here for decades.They are the OG bios here, with incredible depth of knowledge and perspective. If Dumpster fires them because as women they must be DEI hires or wildlife biology is "woke radical leftist propaganda", it shows the depths of the depravity.

I attended a wildlife biologist meeting for this area. The USFWS and USFS biologists said that due to flagging DEI language, to avoid the use of "diversity" in communication. If we need to discuss genetic diversity, plant community diversity, wildlife diversity,we need to get creative. RIDICULOUS.
