Spring is almost here! 🌱 Waiting for a rainstorm to roll in, it’s quiet and peaceful. Hope you’re having a good day wherever you are.

Hello. I’m the Mud Dauber. Sorry about the "ugly" dirt tubes I’m building on your siding. I know it looks like I’m starting a colony, but I’m a solitary architect. I don't have a hive to defend, which means I’m almost never aggressive. You could walk right past me, and I wouldn't care. I’m busy hunting. I stuff each one of these mud tubes with 20-30 paralyzed spiders. My favorite prey? Black Widows and Brown Recluses. I am a specialist at finding the dangerous spiders that hide in your woodpiles and eaves. I paralyze them, put them in my mud "pantry," and lay an egg. What to do: If the nest is in a spot where it won't be bumped, just leave it. I’m providing free, 24/7 spider control for your patio. Once the holes appear in the mud, I’m gone for the season. You can scrape the dry mud off then. I’m sorry I look intimidating. But your porch is a Black Widow-free zone because of me.

Pen and ink drawing of mysterious ladies, a severed head, and a black cat.
The theme of tonight’s odd little drawing is “macabre bric-a-brac”.
It also follows my informal rule, “When in doubt, add a cat.”

Box turtle under fern leaves with a yellow pitcher plant (Sarracenia flava) and the words: Bogs are not the only wetlands that exist. Pocasins, also called evergreen shrub bogs, are bogs on hills. They might not have standing water, but will have a shallow water table that keeps the soil saturated most of the year. There are also tidal marshes, non-tidal marshes, swamps, and fens. Each has unique conditions that can affect what species live there, such as salt content or how acidic the water is. Unique conditions can lead to unique species, many of them fascinating and beautiful. The long-leaf pine savannas of the Carolinas are filled with orchids, sundews, and pitcher plants as well as the Venus Flytraps, and many other species found nowhere else in the world. They are a valuable part of the ecology of the Atlantic Coastal Plain of the United states, which reaches from southern Virginia to northern Florida. Peatlands are difficult for humans to build upon, therefore are becoming more and more necessary to wildlife fleeing urban sprawl. Many species of birds have adapted to living in peatlands. They offer a variety of habitats from open grass to shrubs and trees, and can shelter everything from forest dwelling birds to waterfowl, who can feed on shrimp, clams, crab, and oysters. Not only birds fleeing urban sprawl can shelter here, but migrating birds often make wetlands a regular rest stop. They can also shelter mammals from mice to moose. Some peatlands can even be home to bears or wolves, though most of the mammals are the smaller variety, including voles, lemmings, minks, and beavers.
Y'all liked those baby turtles so much, well here's the zine page with them! I love this part 'cause it's got 🎵 propaganda! I'm doin' a wetland propaganda! 🎶

Holy Hell, I just realized he fired the dog murderer, but did nothing to the dude who drunk tweeted emoticons in the war chat the reporter was invited to. Sexism much?
Thank you, and I know right? Those reference photos all melted me, lol.

All these wearable cameras/AR interfaces would be so much cooler and less creepy if they weren't online.
Like, even with an AR walking tour app; it could get updates nightly while docked. Download the pics you took while docked.
