”The famous Italian diver Enzo Maiorca dove into the sea of Syracuse and was talking to his daughter Rossana who was aboard the boat. Ready to go in, he felt something slightly hit his back.
He turned and saw a dolphin. Then he realized that the dolphin did not want to play but to express something. The animal dove and Enzo followed.
At a depth of about 12 meters, trapped in an abandoned net, there was another dolphin. Enzo quickly asked his daughter to grab the diving knives.
Soon, the two of them managed to free the dolphin, which, at the end of the ordeal, emerged, issued an "almost human cry" (describes Enzo). (A dolphin can stay under water for up to 10 minutes, then it drowns.)
The released dolphin was helped to the surface by Enzo, Rosana and the other dolphin. That’s when the surprise came: she was pregnant!
The male circled them, and then stopped in front of Enzo, touched his cheek (like a kiss), in a gesture of gratitude and then they both swam off.
Enzo Maiorca ended his speech by saying: “Until man learns to respect and speak to the animal world, he can never know his true role on Earth.”
How can you support insects in your garden? 🦋🐛🐝🪲🐞
We can support California's bug life by utilizing water-wise plants, avoiding pesticides, decreasing garden disturbance, and modifying human perceptions of native insects.

@bcookin @CNPS @BandoJun Hi, yes, best management is hand picking them off, knock them into a bucket of soapy water, remove eggs. Beneficial predators also assist with managing this pest. You can read more about managing stink bugs on the ucipm website.
We need more locals living in West Marin and we need more local shops who support the local economy. Please help support Maggie and Luke over at Wild West Ferments raise some money to build out their shop in Point Reyes Station (and get some tasty food!)
