A Red Pierrot (Talicada nyseus) butterfly. Dehradun India.

As per Sanjay Sondhi of Titli Trust, the Red Pierrot was not seen in this region till some years ago. The theory being that this butterfly may have arrived with the boom in Kalanchoe, the host plant, of the Red Pierrot.

Whatever reason this is a beautiful butterfly, both closed wings, or open wings.

Okay so while the updated research on #homelessness is running in case we end up with Dark Ages 2.0. some of the research suggests that shit could happen quicker than imagined. There's no guarantee that it even takes a century. Some bad shit is happening right now. The #Himalayas are falling apart!!

In 2022, DJI was able to fly one of their drones over Mt. Everest.

Here are some of the physics challenges involved (see comments) 👇

Here's the drone video (2022) recorded at the highest point on Earth!

In 2024 and 2025, DJI drones, specifically the Mavic 3 Pro and Mavic 4 Pro, achieved record-setting, high-altitude flights over Mount Everest, capturing 8K footage of the summit at 8,848 meters. These drones, often operated with 8KRAW, showcased remarkable stability in high winds (up to 50 km/h) and thin air.
