Great news! Looks like I'm getting published by National Geographic again! Hard work pays off, even if you don't always see immediate results. Get busy and make sure that what you do today counts, friends! And go to the gym.🌞☕️💪

Give A Shit About Nature
Give A Shit About Nature@giveashitnature·
Studies show farmers who plant strips of wildflowers through their crops need less pesticide, and often get better yields. A Swiss study on winter wheat found that fields with wildflower strips had 40 to 53% fewer leaf beetle pests than fields without. Crop damage dropped 61%. The mechanism is simple. Wildflowers feed hoverflies, lacewings, parasitic wasps, ladybugs, and ground beetles. Those insects eat the aphids, beetle larvae, and caterpillars that farmers would otherwise spray for. A few meters of wildflowers hosts an unpaid pest control crew. In apple orchards where no insecticides had been used for five years, plots with wildflower alleyways had 9.2% damaged fruit. Control plots without flowers had 32.5%. The UK is now running a five-year trial across 15 farms placing 6-meter flower strips through the middle of fields, not just at the edges, because the beneficial insects can't reach the center of a large field otherwise. This works the same way in a backyard vegetable garden as it does on a commercial farm. Plant native flowering species near your tomatoes, beans, and squash. The pests still show up. The predators show up too, and they get there for free. Our fields were never supposed to be monoculture.

“Just a little tidbit of information, at 44 years old, I have lots of eggs left. I’m very fertile, I got it tested.” “I want you to know I’m not going to have any of your babies. I’m not going to reproduce my amazing genetic composition for this country.” Got it 👍

Sea Stacks of Cape Flattery The rocky coastline of Cape Flattery is located at the most extreme northwestern corner of the contiguous United States. Millennia of pounding waves, tides and erosion have sculpted the landscape into something from a fairytale. See more at: richleighton.com

@elonmusk The ADL should remove “Anti” from their name. Just “Defamation League” would suffice and be more honest.

Northwestern Garter Snake Unusual but not unheard of, this northwestern garter snake (Thamnphis ordinoides) was unexpectedly found actively hunting in the grass near the beach on a rare February sunny day on the Oregon Coast in Oswald West State Park. One of the smallest of garter snakes in the region, it is also one of the hardest to identify because of the extreme variability in color and pattern. One of the best clues without counting scale numbers and patterns is the head, which tends to be quite small for a garter snake. This one was quite large for this smaller species - it was over 30 inches when the typical northwestern garter is usually around 24 inches. See more at: richleighton.com

Showy Penstemon Until recently, the showy penstemon (including all other penstemons) were categorized as a member of the figwort family (Scrophulariaceae), which they clearly and closely look similar to. Recently, they have been reclassified as part of the plantain family (Plantaginaceae). As is often the case in botany, new research and genetic testing makes it easier for botanists to more accurately understand these plants which often means reclassification.
