Check out this weird insect! It's a wingless female moth laying eggs on the post-pupation remnants of herself - genus Anestia. So cool!

Against a brick wall, a cage of sparse silk surrounds a shell of a caterpillar. A lumpy grey fuzzy insect deposits small white eggs on the silk.

Isopods! My kid made these for me out of aluminum.

My kid, googling to learn more about their ear infection, is advised to start breastfeeding.

Screenshot of search results. How to prevent ear infections? Prevention. 1. Clean your hands. 2. Breastfeed exclusively until your baby is 6 months old and continue to breastfeed for at least 12 months. 3. Don't smoke and avoid exposure to secondhand smoke. 4. Dry your ears thoroughly after swimming.

How cool is this bookend my kid made me?

Brass and paper bookend. The paper is folded like an opening book with the brass as the book covers.
Supported books include childhood favorite Susan Cooper's The Dark Is Rising series.

Got some (captive bred) native Australian isopods to try and raise! They are very cute and small! Cubaris nigroflava, the "black and yellow isopod" I'm very excited!

One of the few still masking in public... but the kids and I have COVID for the first time. I wish Australia would let us get booster shots. Check out my heart rate variation data and see if you can guess when I started getting symptoms...

Morning run finds. I was disappointed not to see the spider that wove this web as I imagine it would also be cute and tiny!
