    Floral ambush. Two petal-colored assassin bugs (Phymata) wait in the flower's margins, then pounce when the fly lands. Needlemouth death follows, life sucked out while the victim is pinned on a bed of pollen. Of 100 sunflowers here, 20 have ambush bugs. Bad odds, pollinators.

    Optunia gastronomy. Prickly pear, deneedled and grilled. Palate = lime tang, cucumber bite, hint of okra's ooze. The asparagus of the desert.

    Tree lovers: read The Songs of Trees by . It’s brilliant. I’ve always felt connected to these grand creatures, and now I know why. We are all connected in Haskell’s erudite, poetic book in which he focuses on 12 specific trees around the 🌏. 🌲 🌳💗

    Google says you can turn off its location tracking services on your phone at any time. An AP investigation has found that isn't true.
