Rigth after posting my last post, I realised it´s Valentine’s Day. And when I saw this little detail of a lathyrus, I shot yesterday, it reminded me of a little heart.
So in spite of not celebrating Valentine’s, I thought I’d better share it anyways.
So to all the lovers out there: Happy Valentine’s Day.

The #beetle #Bruchus #affinis (#Bruchinae) is widespread in the western #Palearctic and common in #Europe. The larvae develop in the seeds of sweet peas (#Lathyrus). The #adults can be found from April to August. K. Sláma & M.-S. Coquillaud (1992) investigated the "programmed, #nervouscontrol of #respiratory #metabolism" in diapausing adults.

Blessed #Solstice! We’re celebrating #Litha today, while others celebrate #Yule - something our 5yo finds “A-MA-ZING 🤩!” 😂🥰 We updated our #SeasonalTable from Spring to #Summer and included some #SweetPeas from the #garden. (How) are you observing the longest or shortest day of the year? #Witch #Pagan #SintJan #WheelOfTheYear #Jaarwiel #Grimms #Lathyrus
