Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) ran this ad when he was running for US Senate in 2004 as a Democrat. The ad touted his support for free college tuition. Note how Kennedy's accent is much less animated.

good afternoon to all, but particularly to the dude who just wandered past a flower garden and exclaimed, "look at those bees, doing their little jobs; go bees!" and also to bees

Entomological rodeos

Actually just one video ought to do it

For many weeks, the two species had lived in mutual tolerance of one another. And then, without provocation, the hornets began throwing rocks at Ned’s house.

People who don’t know the difference between ‘entomology’ and ‘etymology’ bug us in ways we cannot put into words.

I wonder if such graphics will be used as justification of “prevailing usage” in ICZN cases. Maybe Code-5 should wordsmith a bit to allow?

Good to see the #IUCN reiterate what has been our mantra all along: #NaturalHistory Collections are not repositories of the past but research-active infrastructures ready to address current and future global challenges: www.dissco.eu/iucn-natural... #biodiversity #taxonomy @eurotaxonomy.cetaf.org

Probably better set in a NAPA parking lot but, in any case, the comments are priceless

International students could once stay as long as they needed to complete their college degrees, but that's changing, and the restrictions could cut into college budgets.

It's always nice to have biological collections acknowledged as "irreplaceable evidence bases" and essential records of life on Earth. 🧪🪲 iucn.org/news/202607/...

This certainly is not well thought out.

Great analysis by Darth and definitely worth the read. But does Putin even give a f**k about Russians? It is always about him. He’ll hang on until they hang *him* from something. Of course, defenestration is an apropos possibility too.

Find out what ELSE that caddie told Trump about “history”. It might solve a few mysteries of how he views things.

This is brilliant!

They warned me that if I voted for Kamala Harris we’d get a new deal with the Iranian regime worse than the JCPOA. I voted for Kamala, and they were right.

How long before there’s a text from Trump demanding she be fired … or else…

Had the great fortune today of witnessing the emergence of a beefly (Hemipenthes morioides) from its pupa in the sandy hillside. It all happened very quickly, and within a few minutes it looked like a mature adult!

May 20 is World Bee Day. 🧪🐡🐝 There are ~20,000 different bee species in the world. Here in Ontario we have at least 400 native bees (none of which are the honeybees, which are from Europe). Bees are key to pollination. According to the UN nearly 90% of the world’s wild flowering plant species depend

#WorldBeeDay There are ~20,000 known species of bee; 85% are solitary bees like this one. Hardworking single moms with no hive or workers to help. Honey bees are an important domesticated species, but not representative of bee diversity

Ooh, #WorldBeeDay. I've done a couple of bees.
