Something a little exotic sounding & looking today, quickly photographed in the garden before I had to go out.

It's a Ligurian leafhopper (Eupteryx decemnotata).

Though originally from the Mediterranean, as the name suggests, it has become widespread in Europe & the UK in the past few decades, likely due to transport of catnip plants.

Yup 🙀

You'll likely catch this image a million times in your various feeds: Earth as seen by Reid Wiseman from Artemis II en-route to the Moon.

My first thought? That's *really* noisy 🧐

But then I realised – it's the *nightside* of Earth, illuminated by the almost full Moon, not the Sun 🌕

The bright limb at lower-right is where the dayside starts, & the fact that you can see aurorae, airglow, & cities in Europe, Africa, & S & N America also gives the game away.

Cool.
