Kinabalu Climb Part 2 🧗‍♀️ Summit Push & Descent

The reality of Borneo's Mount Kinabalu, we discovered, lies not in the triumphant photographs taken at dawn, but in the pitch-black, exhausting hours preceding them, and the subsequent descent.

#Sabah's Ferret Badger Found Nowhere Else on Earth
A collaborative study between the University of #Oxford’s #Wildlife #Conservation Research Unit (#WildCRU) and local orgs has provided the most comprehensive assessment to date of the endangered Bornean ferret badger (Melogale everetti).

Checking the #iNaturalist records for Australian #PlumeMoths in the genus #Hexadactilia, it seems there is an outlier that doesn't fit either of the two known species:

https://inaturalist.ala.org.au/observations/285825134

This is further north than the other known records of the genus from #Australia and has rather different markings. It may well be an #undescribed species. The only other possibility is a third species described from #Sabah in #Borneo, but I can't locate a copy of the relevant paper. It's from a 1995 issue of Entomologische Zeitschrift Frankfurt am Main:

Arenberger, E. (1995) Eine neue Art der Gattung Hexadactilia Fletcher, 1910 von Sabah. Ent. Z., Frankf. a. M. 105: 138-140

I've located a copy thanks to Petr Ustjuzhanin. Looking to see if it's a match.

What kind of people is this trying to label or imply the entire demographic as something, triggering those people to respond defensively to the indirect, subtle gaslighting? And then avoiding accountability by acting innocent.
