Van de Nederlanders, Duitsers en Belgen wordt in detail vermeld hoe het verder gaat. Maar die andere 7 nationaliteiten zijn gewoon op de trein naar Schiphol gestapt? https://nos.nl/l/2613863 #hantavirus

Today a first time and very impressive visitor in the tiny house on my #allotment in #Amsterdam : a European hornet (Vespa crabro). This far north they are still pretty unusual. #bugoftheday
Red mason bees have discovered a stack of hollow metal rods stored in the tiny house on my #allotment and turned it into an insect hotel. Today it was unseasonally warm and the traffic was heavy at the entrance.
I hope I do not need the rods this season!

In the latter category : Chrome now opens pdf files in Chrome. Saving is only possible to the (Google) drive, no longer locally. Work around (still) possible via print as pdf.

A European praying mantis with beautiful colours which hide it perfectly. I love them! @czarbucks
