One of the nurses came in to check on Granny while I was visiting. She stood by the bed and said "Hello, Miss Olivia!"

Granny looked up and smiled at her and said, "Hello! Thank you! You're so kind and nice."

"Thank you!" the nurse said.

"And you have such pretty teeth!" Granny said.

"What a nice thing to say!" the nurse replied.

Granny nodded and continued sweetly, "Are they youuurrrrrssss?"

Our Lincoln rose had a brand new bud open that had been drained of its life juices by an insect of some type, but that didn't stop me from recognizing how interesting it looks.

One of the rather special chafers is the noble chafer, Gnorimus nobilis. It looks a little like the much commoner rose chafer, but is threatened, and associated mostly with old orchards and mature fruit trees. It likes holes in old wood and so you can sometimes monitor it by finding its frass in the holes. There are some conservation projects and a residual population not very far from me! https://ptes.org/campaigns/noble-chafer-beetles/ https://ptes.org/campaigns/noble-chafer-beetles/noble-chafer-habitat-boxes/

Anyway, back to chafers. I first fell in love with charismatic Scarabaeidae when I was a PhD student studying insect colour vision. The monkey beetles of South Africa, which are chafer-relatives, are important pollinators in the Northern and Western Cape. They like to sit face-down in the middle of bright flowers (especially red, orange and yellow "open" shaped flowers with lots of pollen, like Asteraceae). https://www.sanbi.org/gardens/harold-porter/arachnids-insects/monkey-beetle/

Here's everything you ever wanted to know about giant anteater vaginas, but were too afraid to ask...

(The anteater is giant, not its vagina, for clarity)

Enough about vulvas, though. We promised we'd tell you about anteater vaginas. So here goes. Here's the interesting thing about anteater vaginas: both sexes have them.

Willow is definitely my cat recently. Follows me everywhere. Now she's knackered.

Pink, purple and blue flowers all out in the garden today.
Very windy but a red tailed bumble bee is still out feeding on the chive flowers

Red tailed bee on purple chive flowers. Lots of out of focus greenery in the background.
A blue eyed grass flower, the petals are blue with darker parallel veins the centre of the flower and the pollen are bright yellow. Pollen is dusting some of the petals
Pinky-Purple Corncockle flower with a paler centre and darker veins the sepals stick out beyond the edge of the photo. Background is blurry grass and a finger of a hand holding the flower still in the wind.

This has figured out that the food comes from outside the hole, it just hasn’t plucked up the courage to go find it…

If Google's AI is so freaking great, THEY SHOULD USE IT TO FIX GOOGLE MAPS

'Over the past several years, Emery County has had a problem with drivers putting “Utah” into Google Maps and becoming stranded on East Mountain. After pressure following the worst incident yet, Google corrected the issue.'

HOW MUCH MONEY was this sheriff's office forced to spend because Google didn't fix this problem?

'The Emery County Sheriff’s Office provided ABC4.com with information on nine cases from the past two years where travelers were stranded on East Mountain — either lost, stuck or out of gas — after their navigation system had directed them up the mountain road.'

Dear God the FROG ABS

'Calvin Klein's CK One was the first scent to be openly marketed as unisex, but in 1995, Bloomingdale's was the exclusive purveyor of Amphibia, an eau de toilette pour homme, femme et frog. It's fantastic. I was not at all prepared for Kermit's six-pack abs and the tiny towel makes me vaguely uncomfortable.'

My friend Little Mate this morning. He's still bringing his mate Maple lots of food, I think they have a new nest, but I haven't been able to find it yet. Hopefully that's because it's better hidden than their previous attempt. In .
