Right!

Spring cleaning on economic blackout day. I was reminded that I buy too much stuff I don’t use. But I decluttered enough notice my air plant pushing out a flower. Cheers to life’s small gifts.

Incredible! Thanks for posting this. Shame on everyone who stood in his way. His pioneering research in entomology and animal behavior deserves more recognition. Kudos to the Smithsonian and the authors for bringing his legacy to light!

The caterpillars that can kill you Some species make venoms that are deadly. With more research, those toxic compounds could yield useful medicines.

Ran into one of these in Jamaica years ago. The family was just speaking of how rare they were, but very poisonous. And then bam! I'm in the shower and one crawls along the lime tree branch dangling inside an open window and right into the tub with me!

Hawaiʻi Tourism Authority issues a request for proposals for projects exemplifying regenerative tourism | Big Island Now Regenerative tourism protects and restores the environment, empowers local economies, preserves cultural heritage and gives back to island communities.

So important given the challenges faced by local communities in Hawai'i. Globally folks are merely existing in the shadows of tourism. Local indigenous communities must be at the forefront of conservation, planning & reap economic benefits. #regenerativetourism bigislandnow.com/2025/02/11/h...
