I don’t understand why we call people that appear weak- “pansies”. Have you seen pansy flowers? They f’n blooming in harsh winter like it’s the serene month of June. Anyone calls you a pansy, wear like a badge of honor.

But, you can use birds as a vehicle to collect/identify “ugly” species. Rudolf Meier shares an example from Singapore, where 1500 lice were collected from 54 roadkill birds, resulting in the discovery of 50 new lice species. #LivingData2025 #EmbraceTheUgly
