It’s been a very wet few weeks in the UK – but we’re far from the rainiest place on Earth! ☔
The Amazon is around twice as wet, as the forest helps generate rain. This rainfall is worth billions to Brazil's economy, which might help stop deforestation.

Merry Christmas! 🎄 And a festive beetle bauble🪲 I didn’t collect this beetle in Costa Rica this year, it collected me, attempting to nest in my hair! A very special experience. This is scarab chafer in the aptly named genus Euphoria, as it’s true I was euphoric or have met it.
