I would love the European Ryder Cup team to get to 10.5 to 3.5 and then just not come out on Sunday in protest.

@suillia.bsky.social I promise I won't have questions for all your iRecord verifications of my records but I was looking at this specimen that I thought and you verified as Phaonia subventa.
However, I noticed one side has three posterior bristles on the mid tibia as shown clearly in the last photo

@suillia.bsky.social a few years ago you verified this photo as Musca autumnalis. At the time I was probably taking an inexperienced punt so I'm interested what features let you verify it?

What a majestic and glorious society we would have created where a tiny jumping spider can't hold up 15,000 homes.
What small minds can only deal in simple solutions that are 'part of the plan'.

@mothiduk.bsky.social is it possible to be confident this is Amblyptilia acanthadactyla rather than A. punctidactyla?

I thought I'd have a look at a Bryophyte for the New Year. I'm thinking this is Syntrichia ruralis rather than S. montana. Does anyone know if I'm correct?

I have added another dozen or so species to my burgeoning Flickr account in the hopes they might be useful when keying out your own specimens.

Don't see what's so unacceptable or NIMBYish (though at this point that term has lost all meaning) about his point of view.
And there are examples of this kind of conflict by all political stripes. Isn't it built in to a constituency based democracy?

![Clearly, we need to connect the energy. But the last [Tory] government and the current [Labour] government have just been pressing ahead with one option, which is to have a new route of pylons that goes through East Anglia.
There are a couple of other options. One would be to have an offshore grid that brings the energy around the sea and into London that way. Another option would be to have underground cabling for all or some of the routes.
There are other countries in Europe that have done both of these things... some that have gone offshore, some that have gone for underground as the preferred option.
So all I’ve called for is for there to be a proper options assessment of how best to do that connectivity in terms of environmental impact on communities, impact on timescales.
There’s been no proper options assessment by the last government and this government just wants to press ahead with one option.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:shpl2mqsbnuriauvja67v2tu/bafkreifrb4hceg7kvcbj5ea4wl35zfftrtvmvbcd2prekurcptegrus4za@jpeg)

I've added a few more species to my Flickr. Hope these help with identifications.
You can find them at www.flickr.com/photos/19954...
Or for a bit more organisation

In the morning I'm photography this Scaeva pyrastri larvae munching on aphids on the dandelions.
In the afternoon my landlords agent is suggesting that I might want to cut the grass 🤦
