Consider your sign to stop and stare at logs a little more often because just LOOK at this glorious velvet mite! (Third photo is where it was spotted.)

I love moths! I've found some amazing ones in my area. This is my personal favorite; the rosy maple moth. I think it looks like a Pokemon!

This is who it was:
A male Anna’s hummingbird at the door. So nosy! 🤣

Baby pigeon mystery.
My pigeon book is here: www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/rosem...
A six-panel comic. In panel 1, text says "People often wonder, why don't I see baby pigeons? Here's where they're hiding:" and there's an egg with an arrow pointing to a question mark, then an arrow pointing to an adult pigeon. Panel 2 says "Pigeons don't nest in trees. They nest in sheltered spaces on or in buildings. This keeps their babies safe from weather and predators." There's a pigeon nesting in a sheltered cavity in the side of a building. Panel 3 says "The hidden babies look like this: like moldy potatoes, but cute" and there are two baby pigeons looking, well, like moldy pink and gray potatoes with yellow fuzz. Panel 4 says "Older baby pigeons hide in plain sight. When they leave the nest, they're adult-sized, but they're still young and learning" and a fledgling pigeon is flying out of a building saying "aaaaaa". Panel 5 says "Here's how to identify these young pigeons" and shows a fledgling pigeon with arrows pointing to these features: eyes may be gray-brown, pale-edged feathers, smaller "nose" (cere), subdued hues, and looks worried. Panel 6 says "Scientifically speaking, though, all pigeons are sweet babies" and there are three very cute round pigeons, a gray, white, and red one, with arrows pointing to them to make things look scientific.

Scientists discovered a bee with devil horns. Meet ‘Lucifer.’
Only female bees from the new species have the distinctive horns, scientists said, after it was discovered in a remote part of Western Australia.

In Japanese, nudibranch is ウミウシ (umiushi) which literally means sea cow and I think today's #Nudivember fully earns that name.

Hang in there, OK?
Digital sketch of a cartoon moth and bee kneeling down together. The bee is wrapped in a floral blanket, holding a mug of something warm and looking tired and sad. The moth has one arm outstretched to comfort them and is looking on with concern and care.

I've added this update to my story about the ongoing torture of SNAP recipients:
(UPDATE 11/9/23 at 11:14am ET — Friday night the Supreme Court issued an emergency order to block full the full SNAP payments ordered by a lower court, per Trump’s request, while the appeals court makes a final ruling on whether the payments must be made. Late Saturday night, USDA issued a memo saying that states must “undo” any work they had done to fulfill it’s previous memo directing states to release full benefits, and instead plan to release partial benefits per yet another memo earlier last week. It is completely unclear what this latest memo means in practice. I’ve reached out to USDA to better understand.)
