I regularly see them when I sift leaf litter, but I've only observed phoresis once. There was one riding on the back of this harlequin beetle.

Gotta love the random photos that turn out to be near perfection!

Never a question of "if", always a matter of "when" an oil pipe leaks....

In 2005 I spent 5 months in Ecuador investigating oil extraction.

Around then German bank WestLB funded a new Andes pipeline despite past spills.

What I saw was shocking and mostly unseen. This 2022 video shows just one example of repeated spills poisoning rivers and communities.

There are something like 650 spills from pipelines in the US every year.

Thank you for the detailed information. The more I think about all this, the more I realize how intractable making these choices is.

Do you think it is advisable to continue straight into a masters program now and wait for things to calm down? I finish my undergrad in the spring.

Glad to know it isn't just me who sees the incredible uncertainty. I don't know if knowing my professors not knowing makes me feel better, but at least I am not going crazy.

Super lubricated.... insides. Maybe levitation?

This makes the effort worth while! :D

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.

It sounds to me like 4 moved to an exclusive gated community. New, fancier neighbors.

Say what you will about AI, but I just had a 3 hour long conversation about mathematics with it about "e" and poetic math, that has deepened my appreciation and broad understandings of mathematics in no way any professor has been able to.

4 can't exist without 3 and 5. Pi exists as the relationship between circumference and diameter.

An object in a void has no speed, size, direction without relating it to another object.

Everything in math is relational and relies on other math to function.

Tonight's personal discovery is that math is purely empathetic.

The buff-tip moth (Phalera bucephala) has mastered a very particular kind of camouflage.

When they close their wings up, they resemble a broken twig.

Native to large parts of Europe, there's regional pattern variation that reflects the local tree species. This one best resembles birch twigs?
