Bonkers about #slugs #bugs #hens & #compost. Poor relationship with fake lawns, slug pellets, fascists, & God. Selective mute with no detectable sense of humour. Proofreading skills? None. Pics: me/my crap phone #GrowFood #Insects #SoilHealth #Pollinators

How to bypass this firewall: Bees Shimmering As A Defense Mechanism
I've just had the misfortune of having to read 70,000+ tedious words of Yarvin crying into his own y-fronts whilst bemoaning how his plans are being 'foamed' by a bunch of stupids in the WH.

Anyone got any spare Valium? Oh, & a spare rusty spoon, so I can scoop my own eyeballs out.

A #ladybug preparing for takeoff
They can eat up to 5,000 aphids in their lifetime, making them natural pest controllers!
In some cultures they’re associated with luck
I must admit, it's the first one I've seen, that I can remember (had an accident, got a bit of a memory problem). I have a new allotment in a different part of town, & I'm seeing a lot of new, exciting things. It's lovely.

I'm just using my phone also, what macro lens do you use? I should get one 😊

Another female Thomisidae but this time it's Misumena vatia, the flower crab spider.

It's impressive how big of a prey spiders can catch, this one snatched a bee that's bigger than her!
Oh, that's a good pic. Love it. RIP, little bee - well done, Vatia!
This pic was not intentional. I thought the fly looked a bit distressed as I passed, so I took a pic to find out why.

#Misumenavatia (I think). Super special - they can change colour at will.

First common banded hoverfly (male), of the year.

So excited! 😆

Did we already tell that we live in Sjaaks woods this year. ?
We really miss him, but we love to live here.

They've got Thiel & Heritage behind them. If we content to comfort ourselves with thoughts that it won't end well for them, we're already fucked. Farage is also in the pocket of the Alliance Defending Freedom Caucus, the far right anti-reproductive rights movement.

How are you feeling today? Any better? xx

That's good to hear. You look after yourself, lovely 👍😊
I probably should’ve mentioned that, ‘I love #dandelions’ is my 2nd most frequently used post-it note during #spring. The 1st being, ‘WTF do you think you’re doing with that slug? Put it back, right now’

#Ants are brilliant accidental #pollinators, & not too shabby at #soil regeneration, either.
Ahhh, that's what's going on! I've been trying to grow it in full sun. Thank you so much - you're an absolute star. I have almost the complete opposite weather problem. I'm in the UK - Mother Nature keeps us in the fridge, & puts us in the oven on a whim 🥶🥵🤣
Sleep as much as you need - it's the best medicine. Hope you're starting to feel better today😊
Declaring the king of Europe a persona non grata.
Get better soon, keeper of crows x
