Found a neat looking wasp(?) looks like it was laying eggs on a rotted birch tree. I'm sure @entobird.bsky.social knows what this is!

Did you know ants can TALK? Well...sort of! Some species use sound to communicate! And that reveals some interesting truths about ant diversity. Has an ant ever tried to talk to you before?
Here's a link to the book. Still lots of recipes that need to be added. It's slow going because I need to verify everything and get pictures before a recipe can be added. So it's a bit sparse at the moment but I add recipes pretty regularly. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Had an unbelievably good time with some close friends over the last week. Made lots of treats and decided to recreate the cover picture from "The Pastry Shep" while I was at it! 📷: @azzyblue.bsky.social
Halex@cheekdots.bsky.social · 6mo agoAs some of you know, I've been putting together an online, open source, forever work-in-progress cookbook. For my birthday @azzyblue.bsky.social commissioned this absolutely amazing cover for my book. I'm incredibly touched. It's so good! Thank you Azzy and Mar! 🎨: @trunorth.bsky.social
I can't really offer anything on my website right now, all of my shipping supplies turned into greywater soup and all my pin stock needs to be disinfected and washed. If you felt like supporting while we wait on insurance, I dug up my old ko-fi. No obligation of course. ko-fi.com/shrugsyolo
Don’t mess with her. 🔪 A massive female Eastern cicada killer wasp telling some (usually threatening) bald-faced hornets to get lost as she slurps from a sap weep. She’s distracted so I get right in there with her. #bugsky

![A five panel comic featuring Mariella, a mouse with long wavy hair and big ears, and Rusty, a rat with shorter scruffy fur and small ears. In the first panel, Mariella looks at a lineup of movie posters with rodent-like protagonists. In the center is a poster with a mousetrap and a scary font, resembling a horror film.
Mariella: The sports movie'll put me to sleep... The romance one, I think the book was better. Oh, how about the slasher?
The next two panels feature the characters exchanging dialogue. Rusty looks smug, while Mariella looks a little disappointed.
Rusty: Slashers... Predictable, lowbrow. The McDonalds of Horror. 'Sides, Slashers aren't even scary.
Mariella: But I won't want to see it all by myself!
The last panels, Rusty concedes as Mariella runs off ahead of him.
Rusty: Well, 'spose a bad movie review wouldn't hurt my blog.
Mariella: Oh, yeah! Maybe you'll finally get a fifth follower!
Rusty [thinking, looking self-conscious]: She said it so earnestly...](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:6vmdokqghozvjnhf4vgbq75x/bafkreigsd4yo6xtfmkdyhz3turi25iw7nadnnv7ozmjh7yz34xb74xur64)
Thank you all for enjoying her whenever she came by and screamed at me for floor time. For spamming emotes of her. Thank you anyone who ever visited me and got to see just how sweet she was with any stranger. Thank you my loves for being there for me, and her. Olive passed today. Love ya sweetie.
Carpenter ants get a bad rap, but they're actually a valuable indicator group of species! Know of any other indicator insects?
i recently found out that hibiscus dasycalyx (and other hibiscus spp.) are largely pollinated by hibiscus turret bees fighting over turf inside— their brawling is the most effective pollination! so i’m gonna say these dudes (recently found in my garden 💝)
