  1. #caterpillar #NativePlants #Iowa

    On the #DailyWalk, I checked out a few different Swamp Milkweed plants that I had noticed in bloom a few weeks ago.

    It looks like deer have chomped the young seedpods. Definitely not good for increasing the number of plants.

    On the good side, I found another monarch caterpillar.

  2. #Caterpillar #Butterflies #NativePlants

    On today’s #DailyWalk, I took along the loppers and a handsaw. Part of my trail system goes across an area that’s often too soggy to mow, and that area needed some clearing before I can go through again with the tractor/mower.

    Anyway, there’s swamp milkweed in the swampy area 🤔🤠 And on one plant I found a monarch butterfly caterpillar.

  9. Digging in the Shadow of NEMO

    This part of Oosterdokseiland was a building site back in 2011, and I rather enjoyed picking my way around the fencing. NEMO’s great green copper hull sits across the water like a ship that has run aground on purpose and this afternoon it had a proper foil i...

  10. Digging in the Shadow of NEMO

    This part of Oosterdokseiland was a building site back in 2011, and I rather enjoyed picking my way around the fencing. NEMO's great green copper hull sits across the water like a ship that has run aground on purpose and this afternoon it had a proper foil in the foreground: a battered Caterpillar 385B from Oudtzwanenburg's demolition crew, parked on a churned slab of rubble and looking entirely unbothered by the architecture behind it. Fifteen years on, and the island is all glass and […]

  11. Melloona – where things grow a little differently

    • ♥ ! • Happy Fantasy Faire • ! ♥ • It’s that time of the year again. Every year I think I know what to expect, and every year it still feels a bit unreal when everything finally comes together. What starts as scattered ideas becomes a world of its own. This year, Luna and I sponsored and built Melloona. Melloona is a quiet, curious realm where the familiar turns gently impossible. Expect wild colors, vines and of course, melons. It doesn’t shout, it hums softly and […]

  12. "“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.

  13. L'occasion de rappeler que #Caterpillar est complice du génocide en #Palestine et fournit des bulldozers à l'armée israélienne.

    Si jamais vous comptiez acheter ce genre de chose, je vous suggère nos voisins allemands de chez #Liebherr, voire si c'est pour des plus petits trucs, du français avec #Mecalac.

  14. The long road to Marrakesh: 40 years of copyright obstruction to human rights and social justice

    One of the little-known but extremely telling episodes in the history of modern copyright, discussed in Walled Culture the book (free digital versions available), concerns the Marrakesh Treaty. A post on the Corporate Europe Observatory (CEO) site from 2017 has a good summary of what the treaty is about, and why it is important:

    It sets out exceptions and limits to copyright rules so that […]

  15. Spotted this VERY early (< 0.5cm) monarch #butterfly #caterpillar and the evidence of its feeding on a weedy milkweed by my building's loading dock

  16. @PetraOleum Caterpillar for the win!

    I just popped out and had a look. Hungry caterpillar has no time for games. Hungry caterpillar eats right across it's old mine and keeps on feeding.

  17. Here's a little caterpillar of the NZ endemic moth species, Zapyrastra calliphana, mining it's way through a leaf of the NZ native plant, Muehlenbeckia australis.

    This native caterpillar only eats this kind of native plant. Each caterpillar completes its larval life inside just one leaf, before dropping to the ground to pupate.

    I found this in my garden on Friday as part of the City Nature Challenge (#CNC2023).
