My first pseudoscorpion observation was pure luck. Happen to see this wasp and took a shot. It was only later did I see what was hanging on the antenna.

On iNaturalist [ www.inaturalist.org/observations... ]
A brown pseudoscopion hanging on to the antenna of a wasp. The wasp is yellow with black stripes and transparent wings.

It's the new highways through Black neighborhoods: Data centers

I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that all these data centers are going into communities that have been historically targeted for exploitation and have the least amount of civic power wielded by the people living there.

A little before-and-after for this adorable little Black Devil Anglerfish (Melanocetus johnsonii).

She had been in the news a while back and I just HAD to do my version. 🤣🤙
