Yall need to understand that the shit that is burning is fucking full of carcinogens, please wear a mask
Watching people raw-dogging fire air that’s about 30 percent huge chunks of ash and soot instead of simply digging out a mask… there’s got to be a better way ™️

A white form and yellow form Flower Crab spider, Misumena vatia. Found in the same allotments here in the UK several years ago. Absolutely stunning spiders. I have even seen white females marked with blue flecks. #archnid #spider #uk #british #wildlife #nature #photography #macro

MY VERY SMALL ALIEN
An Icius hamatus that was in the potting shed, but hitchhiked back to the house with me. We chatted about the political situation in eastern Greenland, had a cup of tea and then each went our own way. Nice fella.
