Me: Look, a Green Drab Moth.
My 7yr old: But it’s not green.
Me: I can’t wait for you to start learning bird names.

Repurposing colleague’s work space while he attends a conference. South Africa’s 1st ever multilingual 🐸 posters are getting ready to be delivered to schools.

The Red Toad, not always red, sometimes ashy grey. Thrives in residential areas unbothered by the severely altered habitat and taking advantage of the new microhabitats created by people’s homemaking.
