Banding is a great way bringing nature's wonder to people. Great work!

@doc-brock.bsky.social Guillem observed a blue muralis, something very rare in those as well: www.zobodat.at/pdf/HER_29_3... you should definitely publish notes on these color abnormalities

Of course mainstream media keeps rolling over for Colossal, providing uncritical hype and coverage in exchange for exclusivity and “wow.” What Colossal is doing is wrong and they can’t even deliver what they promise. How many times do we have to go over this?
