Sunset crossing the ole super easement. Naturally where the best birds are. Also this rabbit

Pretty large easement cut through the woods, with three different large power lines going into the distance.

Rabbit giving me some serious fucking sideeye down the trail along aforepictured easement

Way too zesty outside

Selfie of me with an n95 and sunglasses, the sky is hazy and the sun is a hazy bright ball above my head

The air just tastes bad today

A way too orangy-red sun at 730 am, so very hazy from the wildfires

Screenshot from airnow.gov and I'm in one of those real dark, gross and dangerous blobs of trash air

The dinos have emerged (last week)!

It's officially hot chipmunk summer!

Au contraire! Now that you are here with me, what we have is great cheese of feet!

As a supervisor of, well, people, I felt very seen in Widow's Bay.

Matthew Rhys as the instantly beleaguered Mayor Tom Loftis in the show Widow's Bay. He's looking beleaguered at his desk telling someone who is about to start a rambling tale "no, please don't settle it".

An MS paint meme showing a silhouetted basketball hoop with a wool sower gall wasp gall on the middle of it with a silhouette of a wasp flying away. At the top it says "Gall is life" in the style of basketball memes/logos of "ball is life"

Got out early this morning when the heat was only terrible but not yet unbearable

Box turtle chilling in a tire rut with water

Wooded creek scene from atop a log over said creek. Mostly trees, couple bits of crap like autumn olive visible

I was gonna call this the dish of the undesirables, but these are the mosquitoes that are not going for disease testing so they're the dish of the kinda not terrible?

Empty petri dish under the scope and a half filled dish next to it. Pen and forceps strewn about

Eli@elihosen· Jun 25

I should probably get to actually identifying this trap...I guess.

Petri dish with some interesting mosquitoes under the light then a whole mess of boring anopheles spp and Aedes albopictus off to the side

Sometimes the mother mosquito will fly around with her babies in her back... No, wait a second! The mites were apparently quite heavy at this site, apparently mosquitoes are bad at IPM!
