I think you're right. That description is weirder than I imagined!

No kidding! I found one description that said the movie “the blob” is based on wolf’s milk! Thanks for sharing, I learned something new today.

My girlfriend had bought me a new Samsung phone a few months back.
After always having a Samsung cell phone for years she talked me into buying a Motorola. Which I hated but lived with it for a year. But she got me the new Samsung with five cameras and uou can zoom in and take great pictures from way away. Like this oriole eating grape jelly from a cup. Or this red belly woodpecker.
Love the phone and camera and girlfriend.

Poor little one didn't learn to fly when jumping from the nest. Hopefully, it got off the ground before something hungry came along.

I have posted pictures before of Karner Blue Butterflies that inhabit my oak savanna project but here goes again! lol.
These little postage stamped sized butterflies are Federally endangered , have a very limited range currently with Wisconsin hosting the largest population that still exists. When the Feds listed the Karners as endangered, mid 90's (Dec. 1992) , Wisconsin's DNR stepped up and made rules for allowing incidental take permits for ROW's, commercial building projects etc. The DNR also set up a citizen science monitoring project that helps keep track of the Karner populations up and downs. While I do not agree with a lot of decisions that Wi DNR makes, they worked this one out well with the cooperation of US Fish and Wildlife, Partners for Wildlife , public lands and private landowners such as myself. Due to this cooperation, habitat work has been performed at a high level and rate which benefits All wildlife. Pollinators, deer and turkey populations have all benefited.
The picture of the Karner with the darker upper wings with orange spots is the female of the species, while the picture of the Karner with the more lighter blue upper wings with no orange spots is the male. These butterflies do not migrate, have two flights a season and rely on Wild Lupine as the only known host plant for the larva. The fact they do not migrate and have a very limited range is one of the reasons that they are endangered along with loss of suitable habitat and lack of wild lupine.

Sorry about the terrible picture, but this little piebald and its mom were about 70 yards away at the very end of the backyard and my phone is not the greatest for taking long distance shots.
This is the third piebald I've seen in the yard in the past few years.

It's been about 7 to 8 degrees cooler at the coast than inland for the day time highs. Not much biting, other than catchin a buzz.
