incredible eye makeup on this Osmia from Idaho. Keys approximately to O. laeta but probably an undescribed species.

I spent 10 years researching the primary, secondary, grey, and personal account literature secretively, and 7 years in started to experiment with phytoestrogens without acknowledging I was trans. Wasn't until I notice the profound health benefits that I was like, "Oh...wait..."

Share a trans and/or LGBTQ+ lore about yourself.

Bonus: I avoided any personally accountable thoughts of romantic attachment, physical connection, identity, or relationships throughout my entire teenage life (largely due to the environment). I completely dedicated myself to school and entomology to avoid it(not that I regret it, was a worthy love)

Third times the charm! We couldn't eradicate the red imported fire ant with 2.4 million dollars of pesticides and thousands of animal casualties...surely 200 million dollars will fair better?

America declared war on fire ants in 1949! They lost! The first war used chlordane to attack colonies on Mississippi farms. It killed some colonies, but failed to stop the invasion. By 1951, the campaign was abandoned, a failure. Next Formicidae Friday, Part 2: lets bring out the WW2 bombers!

WWII Bombers Vs Ants: Who Wins? Millions of acres were treated with organochlorine pesticides heptachlor and dieldrin between 1957-1962. Wildlife died, and the fire ants kept spreading.

Meet the hibiscus turret bee (Ptilothrix bombiformis), a solitary ground-nesting bee that fights in flowers, builds sand castles, and can walk on water!
