Just One Photo From Today

Have you ever taken photos from a hunter's blind?

If you have good control over your own body language then you have no need for a blind. Most animals don't flee at seeing a man shape, it's the activities, the body language, of that shape that decides for them. If you amble around like a harmless herbivore most animals will simply ignore you.

Conversely, if you're sneaking around and hiding behind bushes and blinds then you are seen as stalking or hunting, predatory behaviour. This is why very small children are able to approach animals when most adults are not, animals see no guile in the behaviour of a small child.

Some animals are camera shy though, Crows especially. Point a camera at a crow and it reacts as if you're pointing a gun, I think the lens looks like a big scary eye to them.

This photo is not from today:

AI Overview

While most bee species are not individually listed as endangered, many are facing significant population declines and are at risk of extinction. Honey bees are not endangered, as they are a managed species, but many wild bee species, particularly bumblebees, are facing serious threats.

Here's a more detailed explanation:
  • Not all bees are endangered:
    There are over 20,000 species of bees, and while some are doing well, many others are struggling.

  • Wild bees are at risk:
    Many wild bee populations, including various bumblebee species, are experiencing dramatic declines.

  • Threats to bee populations:
    Several factors contribute to bee decline, including habitat loss due to human activities, the use of harmful pesticides, climate change, and the spread of diseases and parasites.

  • Specific examples:
    The Rusty Patched Bumble Bee is critically endangered in the US and Canada, according to a March 2020 article from the Scottish Bee Company.

  • Importance of bee conservation:
    Bees are crucial for pollination, and their decline has serious consequences for food production and biodiversity.

That's a female. You can tell because she has white "lace" on her skirt. Mature males wear red neckties, and juvenile males lack both the white lace and the red necktie. My German grandmother taught me that when I was a small child.

So, I was trying to find the white lace on the yellow and black fly…:rolleyes: 🤣
