The government has rejected all of the Climate Change Commission's recommendations to strengthen New Zealand's emissions targets.
The move comes despite the Commission warning the effects of climate change are hitting New Zealand sooner & more severely than expected, and that New Zealand can & should be doing more

Interesting form of Thelymitra × irregularis (crested sun orchid) near Karbeethong, East Gippsland, VIC.
Only one roadside plant out at this location with fewer spots and richer colours than other nearby populations.I haven't seen this beautiful natural hybrid here before.

More ID guide ideas outside of iNaturalist! (Read my pinned post to learn about why, as a scientist who used to love it, I now recommend leaving iNat.)
Do you like flipping logs? Do you enjoy seeing rollypollys (sorry, if you are in the US those are probably invasive Armidillidium sp.) and skittering centipedes? Maybe you see some water and there's little things skittering on the bottom of the pool and you wonder what they are (perhaps, aquatic isopods?).
Well then, The American Isopod & Myriapod guides are for you!
https://www.americanisopodsmyriapods.com/home Complete with background, intro, and term glossary. They even welcome you to email them photos and will go through once a month to ID them, you don't have to use iNat for helpful expert ID! They will accept submissions from outside the US as well, but may not be able to help as much.
A fair few of these species will pop out in UV light, so grab one and have fun! Just don't point it for too long at a critter, as we don't have a ton of understanding if it affects them and some UV lights are really powerful in their spectra, but short looks is fine. :)

Updated Nebraska Climate Outlook Shows Challenges to Corn and Soybean Yields
An increase of 5% to 10% in the annual maximum number of dry days is projected across Nebraska by the end of the century. This brings a strong suggestion that flash drought events during the summer will continue. (Nebraska State Climate Office graphic)
