New research compares pollination by bees and wasps in a diverse native plant community. doi.org/10.1111/een....

Soras spend a fair bit of time foraging in the weedy shallow areas of marshes. This Sora had been searching the shoreline when it saw something in the shallow water that looked interesting!🪶

As usual Asian people have been left out of the discussion about masks and hate. Asian people have been attacked throughout the pandemic for wearing a mask. A mask ban would further stigmatize mask wearing and encourage further harassment and violence against mask wearers.

i know i'm biased as a first-time cat owner, but owning a cat really does fucking rule. there's just a soft little guy who follows me around and meows sometimes. littlest guy of all time. 10/10 highly recommend.

Saw a teeny tiny little wasp in the backyard and casually took the first-ever photo of a wild adult of this species (Diastrophus potentillae). 😎 (all prior photos were from galls reared in captivity or dead specimens from malaise traps)

A general reminder—periodic cicadas pose no threat to anyone and their plant damage is limited to nipping off the ends of twigs. Please do not hose them with pesticide. They are slow and clumsy and confused and only want to make friends with other cicadas and die of sexual exhaustion.

A young male American Redstart, for "Lies" in the 2019 Month of Love prompt list. For their first year, these little guys look a lot like females but for a few scattered black feathers, seen here on the head. He's bent to his right to preen his feathers, showing his fanned tail. (1/2) 🎨🪶🐡
