Lol this whole song/scene and what it represents cracks me up every time I watch it.
Which reminds me how much I love Oscar singing The Death of Queen Jane, the complete opposite of Please Mr Kennedy.
youtu.be/ytN-yao3Ioo?...
The tune for Death of Queen Jane was written by an old prof of mine
There are plenty from LOTR but I was reminded today how much I loved Éowyn's Lament for Théodred.

Not a great photo but one described as a "Great find! These are tiny and cryptic. Only 69 observations of these identified to species on iNaturalist. I love looking for spiders!

"is that bad news?" Depends. My gardens exist for food and shelter for insects! Tips for iNat ID. Crop the photo to just the insect and be sure iNat knows the location. I find iNat to be fairly accurate with those two tricks. Buffalo Treehopper maybe? www.inaturalist.org/taxa/518519-...
