In a stealth upset, Democrat Eric Gisler flips a GOP-held Georgia House seat spanning parts of Athens and Oconee County. Gisler won 39% of vote last November. He captured 51% tonight to defeat a Republican backed by Gov. Brian Kemp and other GOP leaders.

Congrats to John Ascher for surpassing 2 million ID’s on #iNaturalist. Without his immense expertise and efforts (>1000 ID’s daily of bees and apoid wasps, worldwide) I wouldn’t be a #bee watcher.

After three months’ stay in our house, relative’s cat Pema finally sits on my lap. Sadly she never warmed up to the big dog. This is my our last #caturday with her; she returns to her family next week.

For #flyfriday, male Microchrysa flaviventris, a tiny soldier fly I saw in April 2020.
(native to Asia, 1st recorded 2007 in US)
I used to get such good detail with Olloclip lens/iPhone SE. Particularly proud that this was at night, lit by flashlight.
