🌈Pride flag colour🌈: 💛Yellow dandelion💛 Often called weeds, dandelions are pioneering plants, growing in all sorts of locations often providing much needed colour to grey concrete paths. They are also great for pollinators 🐝🪰🦋

It was performing a very good insect-attracting role, even on this rather overcast day, on this Barley crop headland in Dorset on Sunday. I'll be interested to see how many birds are drawn to the crop later in the year.

England~ the new planning and infrastructure bill will not strengthen ecological protection but will instead be ‘environmentally regressive’ this cannot happen during a biodiversity crisis. We must #MessUpBritain for nature 🐝🌹🦔🌻🐸🪻🦋💚 www.lancswt.org.uk/news/open-le...?

🐙🌿🕷️ Ever see a spider yawn? Well, now you have. Okay, not yawn as in draw a big sleepy breath - spiders don't breathe with their face - but this one is stretching its chelicerae (mouthparts that end in the fangs) wide, making them look like a Yosemite Sam mustache. Also, it's grooming its eyes--

A macro photo looking into the face of a pale yellow-green jumping spider atop bright blue fabric, with out of focus greenery in the background. The spider has a patch of bright orange hairs atop its head. One of its large central eyes looks black and the other green, which is from the internal reflective parts of the eyes being aimed in two different directions -- one not reflecting light, the other reflecting nearby greenery. The blue fabric is from a Los Angeles Dodgers baseball cap, which is this spider's favorite team.

We each in this world of hostility towards the innocent, the hungry, the forgotten must embrace those most forgotten and that which makes our world whole. Our environment, our wildlife, our climate. Without which we wouldn't exist.
