If any of you nature photographers ever capture images of insects with badly damaged wings, email them to Andrew Mountcastle at Bates College. He studies how insects crash into things and has made a public request (on Bluesky) for pics. He wants them for presentations and promises to add credits. Email via link. #insects #wings #photography #macrophotography #biomechanics

*DOOMSCROLLING CHECKPOINT*

Okay just stop. Breathe. Take your mind off the rapid collapse of US Democracy for just a few moments.

I'll help you. Here's some baby giant springtails, aren't they cute?

They don't understand human politics, they just eat fungi and logs and go to sleep. That must be nice for them.

Okay, off you go. Come back if you need to.
