These are dragonfly babies. They live underwater for 1-3 years before they ever fly. One nymph can eat 100+ mosquito lava in a day. The irony: the chemicals we spray to kill mosquitoes and end up killing the one creature that does it better than we ever could. Protect your local waterways. Stop spraying. Let pond edges go wild. Don't stack rocks or dam up creeks. The dragonfly you see this summer spent years underwater earning its wings.

Always leave a bit of space for nature and musings from the vegetable garden this morning 💚🌱😍 #gardening #NatureIsMagic

If you want to see fireflies this summer, don't clean up your yard yet! Firefly larvae spend the first 2 years of life underground, and leaf litter provides them an important habitat and attracts their food. A messy yard = more summertime magic.

@bullterrier4eva @EbtStan 👍

@EbtStan Well judging from his appearance I don't think that nutter will be in the land of the living for much longer He's like a stage 5 out of 7 on the dementia scale It's moving fast. Let's just hope he doesn't nuke the world first.

I live near three major military bases. Airfield right across the sound from me. Folks they are lying to us. the military activity in this area over the last two days and what was going on in airfield last night only could have been preparment for something big.

@ZwartblesIE 'manky' is such an English word! I haven't heard it used in awhile.

Storm Dave Well at least the worst of it shall be away from us. It shall still be a manky cold day.

Ah! The joyous thing !!

You can ask for a glass of water on a hot day. They can't. A shallow dish of water with a few stones is all it takes. Bees, butterflies, and birds find it within hours. This is a five minute project that saves lives all summer.

@CallissClan Love your big dog!

#Abla’s watching

@LoveGrowingVeg Also lovely birdsong in the background!

Beef and Onion the pheasant this morning. Onion (hen) now tolerates me, like most of my women 😉😆

@giveashitnature Absolutely true!! My small backyard ponds attract many dragonflies and damselflies!!

1 dragonfly eats 100+ mosquitoes a day. Killing one means more mosquito bites for you. Stop spraying everything and give them a place to live: water, native plants, a little habitat. The dragonflies will show up and do the work for you.

@MajorityDems In the shadow of his ears.

Understandable, since they’ve clearly given up on Earth

@Mollyploofkins Senior of 1976 here. I actually kissed Billy Joel on stage. I probably should have been arrested. That said ...Rocket Man is forever in my heart. I had a grocery checker say to me last year...what an awesome time to grow up in.

@nix_auto @Brodiesmom68 This gets a follow!!!

Here's a good laugh y'all for those that need it! Big ups to @Brodiesmom68 for posting this. I needed a good laugh!

Fireflies aka lightning bugs spend the first 2 years of their lives underground. Your lawn chemicals kill them. Their larvae eat garden pests like slugs and snails, and the adults pollinate flowers. Another reason to avoid the lawn chemicals.

@JamieBonkiewicz I'll be drinking champaign I can't afford.

I better not hear A SINGLE FUCKING WORD about the tweets I’ll be posting after he goes

@rexthetvterrier Their song is incredible!

Today's birdcam gave us a close view of this house finch. We rarely see these birds. It's like a sparrow mated with a cardinal 😁. Not really. But you get the point 😉 #BirdCam #Birds #Finch

@saniyafatma1278 Getting to sleep nightly with my rescue Gracie is the best thing in my life. When I lift the covers for her and she lays down..I can feel my whole body and mind relax.

I’m black ( if that matters) and my dog def sleeps in the bed with me 😭 She even has her own couch Am I weird? Tell me I’m not the only one My shelter baby Best $250 I could have even spent

@bouseaz @CallissClan Thinking the same!

@CallissClan Maybe try a twin mattress or mattress for a baby bed if large enough. Sending love and kisses to Abla

#Abla only just fits on the biggest dog bed & mat I could buy

@baloo_bjornen @LoveGrowingVeg Could you or your friends hatch fertile pheasant eggs and have them around your homes? I see that fertile eggs are available in the states. I haven't researched it at all, but I've hatched chickens with an incubator.

@LoveGrowingVeg Oh how I miss these birds around here where I live, they are so rare now in my area that I havent seen one in almost 20 years around the farm, hunted too hard and then never returned 😢

Never fear Beef the pheasant is here. His girlfriend Onion appears for the first time for your entertainment 👏 we talk about our mad world and how it’s the simple things for us that are important. We discuss how the world is run by fools, cowards and enablers. Stop watching that oil price folks engage with and protect nature it’s the best medicine out there 💚😊
