Finally got to see for real the famous Lady Macbeth beetle wing dress made for Victorian actress Ellen Terry at @SmallhytheNT - @MGLnrd - Oscar Wilde said she obviously went to Byzantium for her shopping, but to find this species she would need to go even further south east!

It's deeply maddening to hear those comments, and to see these bills pass today. Fortunately, they can be vetoed this time. But attacks on wildlife are growing. We should all try to channel the frustration into positive action, regularly contact our elected officials, and vote.

@LFVelezphd @UCDavisEntomolo Those are in the family Fulgoridae. The common name is peanut bug. They use that expanded part of the head to amplify sound. They sound like a kid’s wood train whistle. We note each night they call and it usually is the same time give or take 20 minutes every night in summer.
