@FlightNetwork my partner called the airline and they confirmed I was not on the flight. I called two weeks to get full refund and haven’t heard anything.

[Ricky-Lee Erickson @arel_erickson]

@FlightNetwork I’ve called you over 30 times. Tried to rebook a cancelled flight with credit paid additional $171 over phone and never received a ticket. Ended up having to pay $900 for a new flight. Still had emails from you night before saying not to worry I’d get the ticket.

🚨🕷️🐠Maratus nemo: new species of Australian Peacock Spider out today in Evolutionary Systematics!

M. nemo was named for its dazzling orange and white colouration, reminiscent of a clown fish.

My research on this species is available here (open access): https://t.co/IUvRidRmwT
