P. nymphula has made its earliest appearance so far, with late-April to early-May previously having been the time frame in which the first local odanata mark the peak of spring. Taking into account that temperatures are set to rise further and little rain being expected to reach my region towards the end of this week, we currently are set for a drought worse than 2018. And half of my local farmers are switching to wheat at the same time.

So while I was working on a solid caption for this Pyrrhosoma nymphula, Pixelfed‘s mobile web app decided to crash just like its official iOS AND Android apps (which are just a carbon copy of IG and doesn‘t resemble the web app at all). I might return once things calm down (and those now flocking to Pixelfed get bored and move back to their proprietary services just like during the big X migration to Mastodon). It really isn‘t fun seeing new users with just 100 followers and zero comments artificially inflating their like counts close to the 1000‘s while others spam tags I keep track of with irrelevant photos and even-more-irrelevant self-promotion.

A resting Pyrrhosoma nymphula of the female kind, which seem to be easier to encounter than males.
