Did you know that in the #middleages, maybugs were the defendant in a criminal #trial?

Melolontha melolontha is a type of scarab #beetle found in #Europe. They can be a great agricultural #threat.

So, in 1479, #Bern turned to the #church for help.
The #Bishop of Lausanne officially sentenced & damned the #bugs.

However, maybugs had been #sentenced before!

In 1320, #Avignon had given the #insects a 3-day ultimatum to leave or be condemned to #death.

They didn’t comply.

I have run a dozen or so automated tests on 10 BETA over the last 2 weeks to see which of the remain intermittent and how much so. I used multiple architectures (arm and amd64), finding some tests fail between 10% and 100% (no failures get you kicked out of the club), some from 1% to 10% and even some that fail less than 1% of the time. Pesky !

Scatterplots of test case failures with one having a Y axis 0 to 10 percent and the other from 0 to 1 percent and an unlabeled X axis..

MOTHS! #Moths I have seen so far in the last month and I want to share with #mothtodon these amazing photos I've been able to take.

Below: A dazzling Red-Fringed Emerald, a white Fall Webworm, a huge Ceanothus Silkmoth, and a stealthy Western Tent. I'm looking forward to educating the public in my upcoming ranger presentation for the monument about #bugs!

[I've set a timer in the kitchen. I'm now in the office, asking the office device the following.]

Me: "Hey Google! How much time on the timer?"

Device: "It looks like you don't have any timers set."

Me: "Hey Google! How much time on the timer in the kitchen?"

Device: "It looks like you don't have any timers set."

Me: 🤬

For the record, yes, my devices are properly [#programmed in the correct rooms. #kthxbai!]

I needed a few days away from Social Media including #Mastodon but am back now with an image of this beautiful butterfly.

I’ve never gone out intentionally to photograph #butterflies but I’ve been so happy to see so many about on my walks along the river here in #Aberdeen.

So now I’ve got something else I can try to photo and it’s a fun new challenge.

I hope you enjoy the colours and details on this Small Tortoiseshell despite it being a simple “point-and-shoot” photo with no thought for composition!

A common green shieldbug trying to act threatening to the camera. Not sure it worked but I commend him for the effort.

Your characters kill the monster. But it was actually stopping something worse.

Bad news if you are very small. (This is an assassin bug. The big pointy thing folded under its head is, um, what it does the assassinations with.) #insects #hemiptera #bugs #MacroPhotography

In defense of flies. Yes, really.

A Vox reporter writes: "From 'fluffy flying narwhals' to maggots that snorkel in trash, welcome to the wonderfully bizarre world of flies."

Any dragonfly lovers out here in the Fediverse? I got this photo yesterday during my visit to the Duck River. If you know the species and/or a fun fact drop a comment! #dragonfly #photography #NaturePhotography #bugs #insects

I wonder if the HP devs went to the same school as The Division 2 devs.
