Day 23 of my 2023 favorites: Ball-winged Braconid Wasps!
So last year I found one of the dark colored ball-winged braconids (Hoplitalysia slossonae), this year I found another, and then a couple orange mystery braconids who were also sporting ball wings! They're just bizarre and I love them 🧡🌿🐝

My first ever job was at a supermarket. I worked with an older gentlemen who must’ve been in his late 70s and while I can’t name the supermarket due to an ongoing legal dispute the guy must be dead by now so I’ll just use his real name: Barnaby.

Al Jazeera’s journalists risk everything to cover Israel’s war on Gaza, led by bureau chief Wael al Dahdouh who continues reporting even after losing his closest family.

Pāpāwai. Swung past today to see if anyone was about (will ask proper permission to take photos/sketches), and the lack of directional signage from town bummed me out. In 1897 this was the seat of the kotahitanga parliament, but Greytown seems fixated on tourism for pākehā settler history.

As you can see on the back he’s put together some kind of elite squad of big smiling men, each of them with their own specialities: hugs, Christmas, saying “coming through!), warmth, and explosives.

Big thanks to all you wonderful communicators like @apsciencebylyn.bsky.social and @crevicedwelling.bsky.social for sharing your knowledge & the charisma of our littlest guys! My 13YO has been watching avidly and is now inspired to learn to use a macro lens to share his own small, beautiful friends

Pink-headed Reed Snake (Calamaria schlegeli). I don’t see these very often. They live underground and surface on rainy nights. They feed on worms and other inverts. Totally harmless to humans despite mimicking one of the most venomous snakes on the planet

They will put up with anything, even each other - for a spot on the chosen blanket!

So, today I'm wrapping up People Watching. Massive thanks to everyone who has supported it & all the cool people I've met and drawn. I wrote an article in the Sunday Magazine today talking about the lessons I've learned doing it - and there were so many.

Day 16 of my 2025 Favorites: An old encyrtid wasp friend, Ms Tetracnemus!
I saw one of these tiny gorgeous lasses in 2022 and fell in love, and didn't find another until early this year. The seeming endless diversity of tiny wasps will always delight me. There's creatures that just look like this 🖤

The King of Cats kisses the silver lips of the moon and tastes honey and ungranted wishes.
He dances through shadows and can hear a sigh across an ocean of time.
Tell him your stories and he will listen to every word, but not remember a single one.

The King of Cats is a cat who dreamt he was a man and never woke up.
He walks without sound and knows all your secrets but will never tell.
Ask him for a favor and he may grant you ten, or perhaps he'll just gift you a thing that is dead.

It’s great to see a party leader being so matter of fact about policy basics and unequivocal about the fact they are absolutely possible to achieve for New Zealanders.
