Uncharismatic Fact of the Day
Today locusts are most commonly thought of as a biblical plague, but in fact swarms of them occur almost every year in Africa, North America, Asia, and Australia. The largest swarm ever recorded occurred in Kenya in 1954; it covered 200 sq km (77 sq mi), and the population was estimated about 10 billion individuals!

If you send me proof that you’ve made a donation to UNRWA or another fund benefiting Palestinians– including esim donations and verified gofundmes– I’ll make art of any animal of your choosing.

[VIDEO TAKEN: SEPTEMBER 15TH, 2023 | Video ID: A video of a black, yellow, white, and red lubber grasshopper on a piece of paper, wriggling its abdomen and opening and closing the dorsal and ventral valves of its ovipositor in a way that makes it look as if the back half of the animal is its own snapping creature /End IDs.]
Encountered this grasshopper and scooped it up with a letter! Which is about when I noticed it exhibiting this fascinating behavior! It's freaky but very interesting!

I took some time out after a few weeks of medical mayhem. And coming back to regular work today is, well, whew.
& All of that feels so small compared to just about everything in the world right now.
My brain is reeling.
So have some nice insects anyway while I try to get back to this place 🙃💚
