    Bonjour, ouf.... il ne fait plus trop chaud !

    9h03 et 11h05* ce matin : il va encore falloir attendre quelques semaines pour les fleurs** de drosera rotundifolia de la tourbière, mais la saison de la floraison des champs de lin a débuté, timidement encore.
    * quand je suis passé vers 8h15, pas beaucoup de bleu sur le champ, mais au retour, on voyait bien la nuance de bleu et ça a valu le coup que je m'arrête
    ** en fait, ce sont les feuilles qui sont intéressantes à photographier.

  3. "“It’s gross at one level, but it’s also kind of adorable. They’re cruising around like, ‘Oh, this looks delicious. I’ll eat some of this and then put the rest on my back.’”

    In 2024 a new species of caterpillars got discovered on Hawaii that not only use other insects' body parts to hide under but also occasionally are cannibalists! I just love everything about this.

  24. Unearthing how a #carnivorous fungus traps and digests worms
    phys.org/news/2023-11-unearthi

    Key processes required for the different stages of #fungal #carnivory by a nematode-trapping fungus journals.plos.org/plosbiology/

    "#Arthrobotrys oligospora usually derives its #nutrients from decaying organic matter, but starvation and the presence of nearby #worms can prompt it to form traps to capture and consume worms. A. oligospora is just one of many species of #fungi that can trap and eat very small #animals."

  29. For those of you living in #south and #west #Wales, there is a brilliant #Welsh #orchid festival this weekend at #Aberglasney house & gardens near #Carmarthen, attended by some the UK''s most exciting growers & experts in their fields.

    A fantastic range of #carnivorous #plants will also be available from one of the UK's national collection holders.

    We went a few years ago and it was amazing.

    The garden is also fabulous, so all in all, a worthy day out.

    Support our local gardens if you can.

  30. #Fossils of Two New Abelisaurid #Dinosaurs Uncovered in #Morocco sci.news/paleontology/moroccan

    New fossils of #Abelisauridae (#Dinosauria: #Theropoda) from the upper #Maastrichtian of Morocco, North Africa sciencedirect.com/science/arti

    "The two new #dinosaur species lived approximately 66 million years ago and had short, bulldog snouts and very short arms. They belonged to Abelisauridae, a family of #carnivorous dinosaurs that were counterparts to the #tyrannosaurs of the northern hemisphere."

  31. It's the end of an era spanning twenty years.

    We need the money, so we've sold off our entire remaining collection of carnivorous pitcher plants. Five years ago, we sold half the collection, this afternoon the rest of the plants will be taken away.

    I'm sad to see them go, but the cash they bring us will be helpful.
