It a balmy 75°F, and the Keys Blackbead—Pithecellobium keyense—has decided to turn a Miami “landscape” into paradise.
Honeybees and a Hammock Skipper (rare in this hood) revel in a super-abundance of pinkish powderpuffs. #NativePlants #Naturalists #Rewild #Invertebrates #Butterflies #Gardening

bring the hammer down on the corrupt self-dealing politicians and their rich friends and there are no sacred cows id give a pass”

PLEASE TELL ME @democrats.senate.gov how we can be nine years into this dumpster fire and you still have a less nuanced understanding of our plight than my children do?

You are elected and paid to know better.

DO. NOT. CAVE. FFS.

🧵 When we hear "Black Panthers", the first thought that comes to mind is the militant political party that came into existence in the mid-1960s.

They were not the first.(cont)

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

Catastrophic nature loss is at least as serious a problem as climate breakdown, but only gets a fraction of the (woefully inadequate) attention.

THE most critical tasks of our time are:
• Protect what remains of wild ecosystems
• Mass rewilding where damaged or lost

Research found that synthetic fertilisers and pesticides sprayed on flowers alter the electric field around these flowers.
Bumblebees/pollinators detect this change and may be less likely to land on these flowers to forage.

Today started rainy but turned beautiful (if breezy) for butterfly hunting. In its small, drab way, this Ocola Skipper drinking nectar stole my 💚. What a face.

Bees perform ‘learning flights’ when leaving flowers looking back repeatedly to memorise the location of the flower.
Bumblebees are selective about which flowers they prefer and put more effort into remembering these flowers.
