Sandlaufkäfer (engl. "tiger beetle") gehören zu meinen Lieblingsinsekten, einen zu entdecken ist immer ein Erlebnis!
😍 🪲
Sie müssen mit ihrer irren Geschwindigkeit am Boden und in der Luft, ihren großen Kieferklauen und den für Insekten enorm guten Augen der Alptraum ihrer Beutetiere sein. Da ich als Affe nicht dazugehöre, kann ich sie entspannt bewundern.
Das Foto stammt aus New Britain (PNG), es gibt sie aber auch in Deutschland.
Villa Bella Vista; a crumbling Italian house with the most beautiful entrance hall frescos that you will ever see 🐦🌿🎨
The walls feature rolling countryside vistas with vineyards and homesteads as well as some type of Roman church or temple.
Vines are painted on the walls, that extended up vertically and across the ceiling to meet in the middle of the roof. There are also decorative birds on perches.

I don’t think I’m remotely alone in finding the pathetic and spineless response of world leaders to the war in Gaza absolutely disgusting.
How fucking hard is it to simply DO THE RIGHT THING?
Why? Why the fuck can’t they do the right thing?
Yes, there will be consequences. Yes there will be pushback. Yes there will be spurious accusations of antisemitism. But so what?
I’m so disgusted with almost all of them.
We’re asking for help just to stay alive.

I'm Joe in the UK, I've been in touch with Aseel from the Sehwel family for over a year now and have been following their difficult struggle to afford medication, shelter and food in Gaza. I'm creating this Chuffed campaign for the family to help afford these things and hopefully help them get out of Gaza when the opportunity arises. Here's Aseel's writing:

Fascinating world of ancient #glass: a marvellous #Roman dropper-flask in the form of a #gladiator’s helmet, which can be recognized as a helmet of a secutor. Found in Cologne, dating 3rd century AD.

You know, I absolutely understand the argument that there is very little most countries (other than the US) can do to stop this. But there is something - they can call it what it is. They can stop trading with the perpetrators. They can stop pretending not to see the enormity of the atrocity.
Because this moral deficit, this failure to even be a clear-eyed witness… this is unforgivable. Historically unforgivable.
I am a Jew. As a Jew it is my absolute obligation, despite any historical affinity I may have felt towards Israel (to be honest, I’ve never felt it, but I know many Jews have), to call this monstrous genocide what it is.
By virtue of our own history, it is absolutely incumbent upon us to condemn what is happening, regardless of who is doing the perpetrating.
If you are a Jew, it is precisely because you are one, that you, more than anyone else, should recognise this for what it is. Genocide

“Where their fur is normally fawn or black, under certain wavelengths of light, they exhibit a process referred to as biofluorescence – like nature’s version of a white shirt glowing at a disco.”

@SKRiley_Author This is not bioluminescence. This is bio-fluorescence. Luminescence is the the generation of light through a chemical reaction. Fluorescence is is the absorption of high energy light, followed by emission of lower energy light. This is what is happening here.
Thanks for fixing it.
