That’s hot! 🥵

@antoniopajarito Interesante. Tal vez si no hay otros insectos, como en interior, no es tan dañino. En cualquier caso, recomiendan mejor usar una trampa que se puede hacer con levadura, como esta:

How to Make a Mosquito Trap That Really Works

Stop mosquitoes with several options for DIY mosquito traps. Keep them away using yeast, vinegar, dry ice, a bottle, a bucket, or a box fan.

Despite being marketed against mosquitoes, bug zappers mostly kill moths and other beneficial pollinators. Mosquitoes are not attracted to light.

That is why the box can only show a drawing of a mosquito, but it does not mention the word even once.

Tornado and Rainbow Over Kansas

Eric Nguyen captured a tornado framed by a rainbow in Kansas. The white funnel extends from a storm cloud, with sunlight highlighting nearby buildings and forming the rainbow. Hail streaks are visible around the high winds. Safety tip: seek shelter, don't outrun tornadoes.

So Forbidden Planet is the first major film to have an all-electronic score. It was made by Bebe and Louis Barron who were not referred to as musicians so as not to offend the musicians' union and instead their score was described as "Electronic Tonalities". The sounds were created via circuits made by Louis. This was before commercial synthesizers existed. Early electronic music was mostly made with things like scientific test equipment, tone generators, home made circuits, or manipulated tape. #Monsterdon
