Springwater Dancer female I think. Argia funebris - these ones are hard to identify, iNaturalist's AI is useless on female damselflies in genera. I used Abbott's Damselflies of Texas, Argia funebris seems likely.


Ceraunus Blue - I usually find Reakirt's Blue's out there, always nice to find a different species of blue/Polyommatinae..

Carolina Wren - they seem like dinosaurs to me though I still think they're lovely.


Female Eastern Amberwing - found this one on Lake Creek Trail. The males have amber wings, the females these splotchy ones.

Eastern Pondhawk young male transitioning. You can see the blue beginning to spread, they'll go all blue and lose the stripes as full adults.


Mexican Cactus Fly (Copestylum mexicanum) - interesting looking fly


Four-speckled Hover Fly (Dioprosopa clavata) - nice when they land and you can get an identification.

This White-thoated Honeyeater was very busy flitting from branch to branch looking for lerps and other tasty morsels.

de enige reden dat ik een (toen)* 13 jaar oude laptop wegdeed was dat er waarschijnlijk een verkeerde vervangings accu in zat en ik geen idee over t origineel had. (En er €150 verschil zat met een nieuw licht basismodel dat ongetwijfeld ook weer vele jaren mee kon, want zo vaak gebruik ik geen laptop meer)

Die ouwe was inderdaad een tuintegel!
(Zowel in dikte als gewicht.. πŸ˜‚)

UN OHCA: Gaza is now at IPC Phase 5 of famine, final stage
In a matter of days, not weeks, roughly 470,000 people will begin suffering organ failure, brain injury, and sudden cardiac death. Another 1 million are at phase 4. For children, this damage is already permanent. Even if they survive this, they will be permanently damaged for the rest of their lives.

I am only tagging this under #Gaza because it is not a political issue.

"The price for being an adult on Bluesky is corporate surveillance, at least in the UK, on a fortnight's notice. This has very little to do, in theory or practice, with protecting children from harm online, and everything about protecting Bluesky and Epic's bottom lines."

Bembecia ichneumoniformis, six-belted clearwing, which I only noticed because I thought it was an interesting looking wasp. Maidstone.
