Valentine is 5 today! 🎉
Happy Hatchday sweetie

He came into my life when I was feeling rather down and hurt.
I collected him on Feb 14th, so I had to name him Valentine ♥️

He was 1 yr and a half old, yet I was his 4th home 😢

We are together forever

Here is your Wednesday Wasp. I think she's an Ichneumonid, but that narrows it down about as much as describing a grain of sand on the beach as small and tan. She was searching the face of a rock wall near a waterfall in Montana. A little less than half an inch long. 🐙🌿
A macro photo, vertical orientation, of a wasp head down on a pale rock, with a bit of moss on the right and lower right edge. The wasp is slender, with a black body, transparent wings folded over her back, and orange legs. She has a short, straight ovipositor.

Just before sunset tonight a view of bright yellow and orange reflected from the setting sun in between two layers of clouds and fog. It was also reflected on a narrow strip of San Francisco Bay. Bay Bridge, Yerba Buena Island, San Francisco from Emeryville, California.

Setting sun seen between two layers of clouds and fog over San Francisco skyline. Yerba Buena Island, Bay Bridge and water is light blue with a streak of gold from the sun. Branches of pine tree to the left.

These little chalcid wasps are my fave! And the color combo with the grass leaf goldenrod is just stunning! #insects

A sunrise rainbow, something I’ve never seen before. I was admiring the sunrise at 6:45 am, and when I happened to look behind me, I saw that the dawn light was hitting a curtain of light mist in the exact opposite direction in the distant mountains. (Montana)
A photo, vertical orientation, of a mountain at dawn. The sky is purple and there is a vertical stripe of a partial rainbow arcing upwards from the center of the mountain.

For years, Shen Yun posters and advertisements have been ubiquitous, commonly found in subway cars, at bus stops, and over highway exits. Revisit Jia Tolentino’s 2019 investigation into the mysterious origins of the dance troupe.

Does the ubiquitous dance troupe really present five thousand years of civilization reborn?
