As if I wasn't already scared enough of wasps!

The tarantula hawk is a species of spider wasp, which hunts tarantulas as food for their larvae.

Up to two inches (50 mm) long with a blue-black body and bright rust-colored wings, tarantula hawks are among the largest of wasps. A bright rust coloring on their wings is also known as aposematic coloring and warns potential predators that they are dangerous. Their long legs end with hooked claws for grappling with their victims. The stinger of a female tarantula hawk can be up to 1/3 inch (7 mm) long, and delivers a sting which is rated among the most painful in the insect world.

Twilight

Thou fair-hair'd angel of the evening,
Now, whilst the sun rests on the mountains, light
Thy bright torch of love; thy radiant crown
Put on, and smile upon our evening bed!
Smile on our loves, and, while thou drawest the
Blue curtains of the sky, scatter thy silver dew
On every flower that shuts its sweet eyes
In timely sleep. Let thy west wind sleep on
The lake; speak silence with thy glimmering eyes,
And wash the dusk with silver.






Hey You Guys!

Perhaps the greatest film ever made. It is so embedded in my psyche it
sometimes feels like I was part of it.

Wendy & Lucy

Kelly Reichardt's new film Wendy & Lucy is as beautiful, meandering, and melancholic as her previous film, old Joy.
