Seen today on my commute through Central Park: a yellow-bellied sapsucker (chupasavia norreño) having a berry breakfast... I didn't know they like berries too! #birds 🪶
A yellow-bellied sapsucker pecking at a berry while hanging upside down from a branch The yellow-bellied sapsucker perched on a branch, with some berries around him. It has chunks of berries smeared all over its beak. You can actually see the yellow belly that gives it its name!

Avec le collectif on a visité un petit local aujourd'hui. On va voir ce qu'on peut faire ou pas dedans. En tout cas, on manque pas d'idées. Ça fait du bien d'être dans l'action, de créer du commun, de voir les autres mettre de l'énergie dans du collectif.

A stag is dashing through a snowy forest, followed by three ghostly rabbits. Flames are framing its head. Everyone has glowing white eyes because at this point I am not even sure what proper eyes look like anymore.

This is a real image of a real thing that exists in the universe! And because a bunch of humans decided to get together and build a space telescope, we get to see it! 🤯

🦜 A natural history of birds
London: Printed for the author, at the College of Physicians in Warwick-Lane, MDCCXLIII-MDCCLI [1743-1751, i.e. 1750-1776?]

[Source]
Illustration of a blue-and-yellow macaw perched on a small, twisted tree branch atop a grassy, mossy mound with small plants. The bird has vivid blue wings and tail feathers, bright yellow underparts, and a distinctive black patch around its white face near the large curved beak. The detailed drawing emphasizes the macaw’s strong talons gripping the branch, intricate feather texture, and its long, elegant tail. The naturalistic setting includes earthy tones and sparse vegetation, characteristic of 18th-century ornithological plates from "A natural history of birds," visually documenting the macaw’s appearance and habitat.

The #insects here at @casabentbill.bsky.social continue to amaze me. Nearly every day, I find some new, bizarre species. This is a weevil in the genus Siron, which I know nothing about. So I'd love to hear from any #bugsky weevil experts!

Firewheel.

The first time I saw one, I... was... in LOVE!!! 💛❤️💛
Firewheel. Some of the most beautiful and vibrant flowers. If you look to the upper-right of the flower, you'll see a flower fly on it.

Rogatons Rediffusions - 05/05/2025 - "Pas de quoi en faire un fromage"

Rogatons tome 2: www.exemplaire-editions.fr/exemplaire/l...
Pas de quoi en faire un Fromage Un corbeau se souvient. On voit la fable du corbeau et du renard, illustrée jusqu'au moment où le fromage tombe du bec du corbeau. "Maître corbeau, sur un arbre perché, Tenait en son bec un fromage. Maître renard par l'odeur alléché, Lui tint à peu près ce langage : «Et bonjour Monsieur du Corbeau. Que vous êtes joli! que vous me semblez beau! Sans mentir, si votre ramage Se rapporte à votre plumage, Vous êtes le phénix des hôtes de ces bois» A ces mots le corbeau ne se sent pas de joie; Et pour montrer sa belle voix, Il ouvre un large bec laisse tomber sa proie." (Le corbeau chante "Donne moi ton cœur, bébey, ton corps, bébey ♫") Deux cases supplémentaires pour illustrer la fin de la fable: Le renard s'en saisit et dit: "Mon bon Monsieur, Apprenez que tout flatteur Vit aux dépens de celui qui l'écoute: Cette leçon vaut bien un fromage sans doute." Le corbeau honteux et confus Jura mais un peu tard, qu'on ne l'y prendrait plus. Le corbeau est sombre, perché sur la tête d'une statue (un buste de Pallas). Il redit: "On ne m'y reprendra plus." Edgar Allan Poe le regarde en agitant les mains: "Encore cette vieille histoire ? C'était juste un vieux reblochon, pour l'amour du ciel ! Tu ne peux pas tourner la page et, je sais pas, moi, rentrer dans la tempête, au rivage de la nuit plutonienne ?" Le corbeau détourne la tête, boudeur. Allan Poe sort un fromage de sa poche. Allan Poe: "J'ai des babybels, tu veux un babybel ?" Le corbeau: "Jamais plus."

Imagine everytime you ask for academic feedback on academic matters to your mentor, he convinces himself you are actually asking for sex and it's appropriate to "play hard to get" by not actually giving feedback.

Not to mention this exchange between the two charmers
In one, Summers forwarded Epstein an email from Jin asking for feedback on a paper. Summers mused to Epstein that it was “probably appropriate” to hold off on responding. “She’s already begining to sound needy :) nice,” Epstein replied.

Enjoy this little demon, #Bugsky

At first I thought this was just a small fly, but when I got my macro on it I found this alien creature. I think it's in the genus Poppea, a type of treehopper. Found at @casabentbill.bsky.social #CostaRica #nature #insects

The planet Saturn is shown as an orange orb with bands. A blue line with bumps runs across the middle -- which is the rings seen sideways. The bumps are small moons. Please see the explanation for more detailed information.
