I need to look at those those growing here.

Morning all. What a difference a day makes. Yesterday’s sunshine has inspired the cherry blossoms to burst forth, & it’s a delight. Even though it’s raining again today, spirits are lifted. (Ted is unimpressed & not enjoying being damp again) Have a super day everyone 😊🌱

26.02.2026 00:33 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0The only beekeepers we need more of? Native bees. 🐝 Most folks don’t know it, but the native bee hotels you buy and abandon? They raise more parasites of native bees, than actual native bees. Overwintering bees, cleaning, replacing and using PFAS-free tubes - all important. Good folks below🌱

26.02.2026 00:30 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0More (amazing!) ant foolery for food & shelter (see recent post on beetles). Instead of scent, these Italian Maculinea butterfly caterpillars vibrate (& scientists have no idea how🤔). Their music 🥁 matches the queen ant’s rhythm, convincing the ants to carry the cats🐛 to their lair & feed them. 🤯 🌱🦋
25.02.2026 20:16 — 👍 16 🔁 6 💬 3 📌 0I think they are 'Viridapice'. Weather can influence some varieties.
