These policies censor artists engaged in lawful speech. Mastercard shouldn't be the gatekeepers of our digital freedom.

Melissodes, the long horned bee! Named because of those majestic antennae. Happy I planted plenty of sunflowers for them! #nativebeesarethebest

The cicadas have officially arrived in Pennsylvania summer is objectively better now. ❤

Here are your Saturday Skippers. Skippers are (often) small, fast butterflies with chunky, fuzzy bodies, big eyes, and (often) earth-tone colors. These were at the National Museums Collection Center in Edinburgh, Scotland, where my wife & I had an amazing visit hosted by @ashwhiffin.bsky.social. 🌿🐙

The recent rain was what it took to finally get my very first sunflower of the season! I had to reach as far up as I could for the shot because this guy is 8 ft tall 😍 #nativetoPA (but not technically since this is a "Ring of Fire" variety)

I found a fluorite frog friend in the collections the other day. We do have quite a few carved #minerals and it's always a nice surprise when I come across them while looking through drawers!

Cephalanthus occidentalis (button bush) is finally blooming. An amazing native plant for the east coast, attracts tons of pollinators, and a larval host to the hydrangea sphinx, the royal walnut moth, and the titan sphinx moths! Hope I get some of them next year. #buggies

Had an awesome weekend trip at Indian Echo Caverns and got to be a goblin in the rocks. No licking the cave though it's still actively growing.
