Given the situation in the match, the mob of defenders around him, and the technical difficulty involved, that’s one of the best goals an England player has ever scored. Just astounding brilliance from @HKane when it mattered most.
CALLIGRAPHA BEETLES
The genus Calligrapha, belonging to the leaf beetle family (Chrysomelidae), is famous for the striking patterns on its wings that resemble ink blots or calligraphy. These small beetles, measuring 9 to 12 millimeters long, come in colors ranging from black and white to red and have shapes that make them easily distinguishable. They are herbivorous in both their larval and adult stages, and many species display a high level of specialization: they depend almost exclusively on a single plant species to survive—just like Calligrapha philadelphica, which is closely associated with the dogwood tree. Their eye-catching appearance and close relationships with specific plant species make these beetles a fascinating example of adaptation and diversity in the natural world.

RIP Dryer 🥲
I'm very sad to report that Dryer the barn owl has passed away.
I found his body about 100m from the nest this morning. The cause of death is not clear, but I found him in grass and not in a water trough as many of you feared.
Dryer was a great character. A very dedicated partner to Gylfie and father to nine owlets over four years, he will be missed by us all.
