#reptiles eat bugs not humans !

#PETITION: I Won’t Eat Bugs

Every day, we are bombarded with #propaganda attempting to normalize bug eating.

The World Economic Forum has been at the forefront of promoting the consumption of insects for years now, advocating that eating bugs is the way of the future, is sustainable and will help fight climate change, and will improve human health.

From Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau seeking expert help on establishing best practices for humans and animals to eat bugs in Canada to educating kids in the U.K. about “alternative proteins”, the push to encourage people to eat bugs is expanding on a global scale — this must be stopped!

Additionally, #insects may have #parasites, making them #dangerous to eat. But, of course, our globalist elites don’t want you to know that, and they don’t care because they won’t be eating them.

If you are equally repulsed by the idea of incorporating creepy crawlies into your diet, please sign our petition right here.

https://texasobserver.social/@oconnell/111880446480843787 oconnell@texasobserver.social - I've a fun, short piece out from the @TexasObserver magazine, about a crew of volunteers that have been going out every week, for about 15 years, to count all the crawling, flying critters they can find.

So far they've identified almost 3,000 species of insect including over 50 bees, 345 flies, and over 500 different beetles. https://www.texasobserver.org/insect-lbj-wildflower-valerie-bugh-austin?utm_campaign=mastodon

Why flying insects gather at artificial light | Nature Communications

#science #biology #ethology #insects

Contrary to the expectation of attraction, insects do not steer directly toward the light. Instead, insects turn their dorsum toward the light, generating flight bouts perpendicular to the source. Under natural sky light, tilting the dorsum towards the brightest visual hemisphere helps maintain proper flight attitude and control. Near artificial sources, however, this highly conserved dorsal-light-response can produce continuous steering around the light and trap an insect. Our guidance model demonstrates that this dorsal tilting is sufficient to create the seemingly erratic flight paths of insects near lights and is the most plausible model for why flying insects gather at artificial lights.

Why flying insects gather at artificial light - Nature Communications

It is unclear why flying insects congregate around artificial light sources. Here, the authors use high-speed videography and motion-capture, finding that insects fly perpendicular to light sources due to a disruption of the dorsal light...

Bright-eyed Brown butterfly - what a delight to see!
"This small butterfly (from the Nymphalidae or ‘Brown’ family) is known to inhabit peat swamps in coastal and inland areas in the far south-east of South Australia and western Victoria – habitat that has been significantly reduced by wetland drainage and other factors since colonisation. "
Butterflies on the Brink

The local creek has been replanted (over many years) with many native species including Carex, the larval plant of these little gems, while garden/paddock plantings of Leptospermum and Melaleuca spp. help as food-plants.

Of course, this may be the only bright-eyed brown for kilomiles - hopefully not - but i'm classing it as small (and beautiful) success.
i'm wrapt to the gills :D

https://mastodonapp.uk/@BjornIdle/111705843766893976 BjornIdle@mastodonapp.uk - A Red Damselfly (Xanthocnemis zealandica) clings onto the tip of a reed shaft.

I'd love to say I deliberately chose a reed that had the same colours on it as the damselfly, but this is just where this one happened to land. And to be honest, I've only just noticed it myself... 🤔
