Inordinately fond of ants and lover of nature as long as I can remember, dog-lover come lately, liberal/green, I appreciate dictionaries in several languages.

@Exotichikes YES!

@ShannonSkalos Those picture are of Bigfoot quality!

@TyraLindquist @ACNMtell @annieleibovitz @voguemagazine Yeah, and Liebovitz has it coming. Photography is about light, not dinge!

@rkellerp @CorrieMoreau That's wonderful Roberto, in this age of throw-away everything.

1. Make way for the king of the solar system! 👑

New Webb images of Jupiter highlight the planet's features, including its turbulent Great Red Spot (shown in white here), in amazing detail. These images were processed by citizen scientist Judy Schmidt: https://t.co/gwxZOitCE3

@americanbeetles Wow, no kidding!

[James C. Trager @TragerJames]

@rkellerp @CorrieMoreau I love mine, also purchased from Lloyd. So durable!

@markalfordkc Wiw, you can shoot a tree!

[James C. Trager @TragerJames]

@Ferox_Formicae Go for amazing, but take care. These are volatile times.

[James C. Trager @TragerJames]

@CorrieMoreau @Rajee_Rajakumar @ArjunaRajakumar @WaspWoman @adriaexists @BoudAnt1 @BerylMJones Such an enjoyable and new-information-rich meeting. Wish I were there! :-(

[James C. Trager @TragerJames]

@Ferox_Formicae @Myrmecos There are things like this out there too: https://t.co/xBtECYOmwJ

@Ferox_Formicae @Myrmecos Pay is related in part to how many degrees you have. You'll want at least a master's degree for somewhat livable pay. I would add that your illustration skills will definitely be a selling point. I suppose you could consider a commercial art position and do bugs on the side.

@myrmecoPhil Someone has come up with the rather silly name "thread-waisted ant" for Aphaenogaster. Thread-necked fits this one better. 🤓

[James C. Trager @TragerJames]

@ymilesz Inspirational or "inspirational"?

[James C. Trager @TragerJames]

@MCAsche @EntsocAmerica That baby katydid had me fooled for a moment.

[James C. Trager @TragerJames]

@Myrmecos What would be your pick?

[James C. Trager @TragerJames]

@LMDiepenbrock I first saw one of these in Wisconsin, on a Florida car getting away from the madness.

[James C. Trager @TragerJames]

@Ferox_Formicae I hear you. I'm not at all happy about the world my generation is leaving your generation. On the other hand, nature is resilient, and if we can change our ways, insects can make a good comeback.

[James C. Trager @TragerJames]

@JoeySantore Not soon enough, literally!
