Wow, what an amazing presentation station. So much information on why we want native plants in our yards. Excellent job. Thank you
Do they give the same calls but a few seconds apart?
yes, it is a very repetitive call! can be quicker together, or a bit spaced out.
Thank you for helping me identify the noise I have been hearing for months.
I have learned so much. Thank you
Glad to hear!
This is a maggot called the rat tailed maggot. When it pupates into an adult it will be a bee-like horse fly.
Awhhh the scrunkly the blinkus doingus doobus
Looks tasty
spermzilla😂
I love these things. Super adorable. I once kept some in a small plastic cup with stagnant water.
Their adult form is great for gardens as well. Drone flies are excellent and versatile pollinators. Underwater, these maggots look like cute little water mice! Or gigantic bacteria.

Cars have been a disaster for America. They are very useful, but the cure to long travel has become the disease itself, what once was a useful tool has now been made a necessity by city designers.

This information comes from a Spanish researcher who loves Jordan. We can stop a lot of pain and suffering revealing these truths. Please share these data with the Jordanian authorities and biologists. It will bring a lot of wealth and contribute to know more about origins. There are 8,500 years old geoglyphs in the Black Desert. Bedouins call these strange circles of basalt the works of the elders. The covered area is huge and is located in its main part in Jordan. They really represent embryos in different stages of development. They can only be seen from satellites, drones and planes.

Thanks for all that you do.
