Scientists uncover #beetle transport system for newly identified towering nematodes https://phys.org/news/2026-05-scientists-uncover-beetle-newly-towering.html paper: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ece3.73510

"In 2025, #Konstanz scientists looked very closely at rotting fruit in local orchards, and observed what no one had before–hundreds of #worms twisting skyward into self-assembled living towers... #nematodes may be trying to hitchhike on #animals to reach new habitats... Now, they identified the carriers of the original worm towers: two sap-feeding #beetles"

Sunday, April 26th. The compost pile has been flipped to the west of the pallet sided bin. The compost pile is mostly browns. The last apples and brassica stalks of the fall 2025 season are still whole as the compost was frozen for months. The pitchfork is the right tool to fork and sift the lumpy materials. Nettle water extract and comfrey water extract were added on top. It’s a lovely compost pile #compost #SoilBiodiversity, #nematodes, #minnesota, #Zone4b
