Sarracenia leucophylla has finally started putting out some very small pitchers, and yet a Daddy Longlegs spider has managed to cram itself into one of them.
'...there suck we,
alchemical, nectar-slurred, pollen-furred,
the world's mantra us, our blurry sound
along the thousand scented miles to the hive...'

A short glimpse into the quiet beauty of butterflies as they glide, flutter, and pause with ease. Their wings catch the sunlight in every turn. It’s a small reminder of how simple moments in nature can bring calm and wonder.

What’s your favorite butterfly to spot?
The AOS recognized a new species of flycatcher, the Salvadoran Flycatcher. Its a proud moment for the Salvadoran ornithological community, which recognized its distinctions from the Nuttings flycatcher and did the genomic and observational work necessary. And for my org Paso Pacifico, its meaningful because the type specimen was collected from the vicinity of #Olomega Lagoon where we are supporting communities to restore habitat and protect birds.#ElSalvador #biodiversity #ornithology

Rakali, Australia's mighty native water rat
"...One third of the country's 60 rodent species going extinct or suffering massive reductions since European colonisation.
One of the key threats to rakali is being entangled in fishing line and nets, so you can actually report sightings of illegal fishing nets to CRIMFISH, or there are other authorities within your state...They are also predated on by dogs, cats and foxes, so the recommendations are to try and keep cats and dogs away from waterways where rakalis could be... it was important to ensure cars drive slowly around rakali habitats, particularly at night when it's harder to see and more rakalis are out and about. "
Extinction of Australian flora and fauna. It's always the same: Habitat erasure and extractive activities. Add roads, cars, pets, dogs, cats, foxes, weeds and dump the unwanted.
