Years ago, with my then-host in the USA, John C. Moser, I described the #myrmecophilous #phoretic #mite #Histiostoma #blomquisti as a new #species (S.F.Wirth & J.C.Moser, 2010).
In a recent #sciencecomm. #article, I reconstructed its #biology, being found on active #queens of ant #Solenopsis #invicta, from my current perspective (S.F.Wirth,2026).

By Banksy in NY – What we do in life echoes in eternity

By Banksy in Queens, New York, USA. Banksy: “Some people criticize me for using sources that are a bit low brow (this quote is from ‘Gladiator’) but you know what? “I’m just going to use that hostility to make me stronger, not weaker” as Kelly Rowland said on the X Factor.”

#SurfaceSunday: This 1975 bus map of #Queens used color coding not only to distinguish between the borough's different bus routes, but also the variety of companies who oversaw them.

Walking around another Queens neighborhood today at a community fair. Love that there's a Queenslink table.

Also, Girl Scout cookies may have been purchased (GS troup 4631)
