My daughter managed to snap this on our way to school. It's a female ichneumon wasp (Megarhyssa macrurus?) that parasitises bug larvae in decaying wood with that absurdly long ovipositor.

I will never support violence against innocents. This is not negotiable. I will accept any name you want to call me for that.
The fact that I could be talking about any number of things is the point of this post.
The fact that my money will do so anyway regardless is obvious, but also worth saying out loud.

I spotted an Eastern Black Swallowtail caterpillar today while getting the mail. Apparently, they're called parsley worms.

Sarah Fackrell- And as I've observed in some quarters before, I think we're seeing fragmentation based on what people liked about The Old Place. And IMHO, that's fine. People want to deride the fedi as "the library"? Cool, I'll chill here with the people who think that's an enticing description.
