Un nouveau reportage d’utilité par @blast-info.fr sur les assureurs, encore un secteur pourri par le capitalisme et l’actionnariat financier, et comment cela complique la situation face au changement climatique.
Ice on some plants on my walk at around 7:30 am so there was prolly more earlier.
We had our first frost in the valley that I’ve noticed. The weather didn’t report it. So things are going well.
Malachius sp is really peak beetle cutie
A friend of mine recently published a poem about a scientific expedition we were on together. It's so nice! The expedition was a few years ago, and it's really wonderful to have this to remember it. But also, learn how she experienced it. I love this

An old science poem I wrote about taxonomy and its weird paradoxes.
Us humans like to put things in boxes
naming species, genus, families, tribes
but this creates endless paradoxes
nature won't bend to the scribbles of scribes

Would you decide to take a walk to see nature and breath fresh air let me give you a little talk : my method for outdoors self-care. It takes a while to find the thing, the rarest sight you can capture. It is not what I am seeking I'm happy with simpler nature. Irrelevant when I wander or what I get to see I do take joy in the commoner interest is the key! On your curiosity transect you can discover, beautiful Of the most usual insect a renewed shine of cuticle.
wrote a short science #poem about my mindset when I go around looking for bugs
#scicomm
A very cute species and also quite an "ecological clock", as they emerge all of a sudden, at quite a specific time. The time depends on where you are, in Vienna it seems to be around mid June
Tuesday is Science poetry class with @samillingworth.com!
This week, part of the session was to write a science poem in under 6 minutes, with haiku as a suggested structure.
Here's my entry:
Compost on my balcony
a feast for late wasps

Why am I only now hearing about arcology?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arcology
“… fermentation in the civet’s innards does add a little something extra to the coffee’s flavor, including amping up the fat content and the concentrations of certain aromatic compounds”.

BUGS
The word ''BUGS'' written on an outside wall with blue paint. Some other graffiti are also visible but not readable.
The city yearns for more bugs #graffiti #vienna #wien #urbanism

Reading a paper on aerodynamics of insects. One author is from the "Institute of Unmanned System". Might be a usual term in aeronautic or a rough translation from Mandarin, but it's cute to consider an insect to be an "Unmanned System".
It surely isn't manned hehe

Wenn in Redaktionen Stellen gestrichen werden, trifft das auch jene, die nie einen fixen Schreibtisch hatten: die freien Journalist:innen.
Diese Krise betrifft uns alle – ob fix oder frei. Aber freier Journalismus ist kein Hobby – ohne uns wären viele Zeitungsseiten weiß!
So this species doesn't build a funnel, right?
Where is it present?
Oh my I'm not disappointed I came back to check what it was. I freaking love antlions, they're so cool.
A few of y'all did indeed Find the Creature, and that is awesome ♥️
Brachynemurus nebulosus is an antlion whose larvae mimic velvet ants, and can occasionally be spotted scooting across the sand before quickly burying themselves almost completely to wait for prey. 10/10 creature 🧪
A close up shot of a small mushroom growing on a relatively dry, cleaning cut tree stump. The mushroom is a mix of orange and dark brown in color, and a mix of velvety and fluffy in texture.
A orange jelly fungus growing on a cleanly cut tree stump. It's covered in tiny grey invertebrates, probably spring-tails. the fungus looks like a bright orange mush, with irregular shapes surrounded by mini-domes on the surface of the wood.
A fire salamander climbing a very steep slope. It's black and yellow, with shiny skin. The ground is a mixture of rocks and clay with a bit of vegetation.
A fungus growing on a tree stump. It looks like a colony of small beige spheres. Maybe 50 of them.
I went on a hike yesterday. It's a bit late for insects, but perfect time and weather for fungi! Also TONS of salamander #nature #mushrooms #fungus
A partial gouache painting of a katydid. Green has been applied to a magenta background. Very light green has been used for the wings. Wispy shadows extend away from the subject.
Getting close to that home stretch, stay tuned!

I am starting to follow a class about #scicomm and #poetry
part of it is to write some poems!
So what I will write probably won't be very good, but expect to see some of that here anyways
Rappel apparemment nécessaire : les insectes sont des animaux.
Deuxième rappel apparemment nécessaire : le principe de l'alimentation végétarienne est de ne pas consommer de chair animale.
Pas très pertinent dans le sujet mais bref
A great green bush-cricket, eating a piece of egg white held by human fingers.
A close up shot of the Bush cricket. It's standing head down on a tree trunk.
Hmmm egg

I'd be very curious to know what arthropod this is!
Butt-based taxonomy = best taxonomy
I always think it's really cute how they come to catch the sun. There were several males t this location, fighting for the best spot!
