@SamJakeEngland @RSocPublishing But they still can't shed the pollen, effecting pollination, without touching the appropriate flower parts, right?

Out today in @RSocPublishing! We show that butterflies and moths accumulate so much static electricity that pollen is attracted onto them across air gaps, meaning they don't even need to make contact with the flower to pollinate it! 🦋🌻 royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs… 🧵👇

@brianhorn @hwinkler4real Spin it however you like, the guy has the makings of an autocrat, it's quite clear!

Let this sink in

@rkellerp @gmramon For breaking open beetles seems a possibility.

@Mike_Palicz @ezraklein How do you figure?

@ezraklein If he can’t campaign, he can’t run the country for another 6 months.

An actual hero. This is what America First looks like when it’s a lived ethos, rather than a mask for narcissism and ambition.

@gmiller @ezraklein Hateful bullshit! He and his excellent staff will do just fine, unhampered by the pressures of campaigning, till the next president steps in.

@ezraklein Disgusting take. If Biden was an actual 'hero', he'd accept that he's unfit, right now, to serve as Commander-in-Chief, and he'd step down immediately. Not cling to power for another five months when our enemies can all see his senility and weakness.

@ArthurB @ezraklein Hateful bullshit!

@ezraklein The guy was pushed out and you can probably see the nail marks on the oval office desk.

@USMiniTru @ezraklein Hateful bullshit!

@ezraklein Admitting he's dead but staying in office. Yeah what a legend.

@FPWellman @MayoIsSpicyy @Acyn @atrupar @RonFilipkowski @patriottakes You've got problems of discernment, Mister.

The snobbery of the political media has never been more on display than this last two weeks. They look down at anyone who covers Trump and the far right. The “clippers” like @Acyn @atrupar @RonFilipkowski @patriottakes and more are how we know the rotten machinations. It sure as hell wasn’t CNN or Punchbowl that dug up this now viral clip of the Heritage CEO on Steve Bannon’s show! They look down at us “alternative media” and little podcasters as beneath them. We all saw January 6th coming. We see what’s coming with Trump 2.0. This is why people are cutting the cord and walking away from the political media. We will keep on telling the truth at @MeidasTouch and @OnDemocracyPod.

@schilthuizen @DrRossPiper @ZooKeys_Journal Sheesh, how disappointing (to say the least!).

Wow, why would you want to modify specimens to 'create' a new species, when there are still so many *real* new insect species to be discovered? doi.org/10.3897/zookey… via @ZooKeys_Journal

@czbugsart Oh please! Every one of these "cockroaches" is in fact a beetle, except for the green one.

Cockroaches

@kangaroos991 Yes!

Should they resign, YES or no? ⤵️

@VoteBidenOut @charliekirk11 Define communist, and explain how it fits these guys.. Just throwing out labels without defining the term is essentially meaningless.

Everyone knows Jake Tapper hates Donald Trump. Joe Biden knows Jake Tapper hates Donald Trump. Jake Tapper knows he hates Donald Trump. But CNN won't let you say that on air. If CNN is this deranged now, just wait for Trump-hating Jake Tapper during the debate. Fake news!

@kangaroos991 YES!

YES or no?

@SajadAlipour98 Tragic loss. I am so sorry to read this.

@kangaroos991 10+

On a 1-10 scale, how happy would you be if this was true? ⤵️

@tedcruz So the fuck what?!?!

Do not watch this video! The arbiters of truth at CNN have debunked it. x.com/libsoftiktok/s…

@TheBugChicks Yep!

Seems I’m in the market for a new sun hat. We have 5 more days in the desert.

@NRSC Fuck Trump! Worst US presidential candidate ever!

🚂 ALL ABOARD THE TRUMP TRAIN 🚂 We need to know where YOU stand ahead of this year’s presidential election — the MOST IMPORTANT election in American history. Are you still a Trump supporter? Respond to the OFFICIAL 2024 MAGA POLL before MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. >>

@drdavecoyle @CaterinoLab Of course: It's sensationalist arachnophobic nonsense.

*sigh* Literally none of this is true y'all. Bodies top out at about 1.5 inches, legs top out about 3 inches in diameter. Welcome to another day in the life of an #invasivespecies biologist, I guess.

@nepbaphomet Haha, I first read your post as cardiologist rather than carabidologist, and thought you'd made a career change. Good on ya, mate, as the Aussies would say!

I had an awesome time meeting all the European Carabidologst in Budapest, learning about their research, presenting a small pop gen project, and and showing a poster on the first big chapter of my PhD thesis, Adephaga phylogenomics (focusing on Carabidae of course!). #21stECM
