Hi? (awkwardly)

Flies can be cool: Transverse-banded Flower Fly

I generally do and I recommend everyone else do the same! Except for Ying Zheng, who needs any social life he can get.

July 29, 2026 - Yellow-bellied Longbill (Toxorhamphus novaeguineae) Found on New Guinea and some nearby islands, these longbills live in forests. They eat insects and nectar, foraging in foliage alone or in pairs and sometimes joining mixed-species flocks. While little is known about their breeding behavior, an adult was recorded sitting on a cup-shaped nest in October.

July 28, 2026 - Variegated Bristle-Tyrant (Pogonotriccus poecilotis) Found in the Andes from northwestern Venezuela to southern Peru, these tyrant flycatchers live in mountain forests. Foraging alone or in pairs, often with mixed-species flocks, they feed on insects, picking their prey from surfaces in short flights. While little is known about their breeding behavior, one of their nests was globe-shaped and built from seed floss in roots at the top of a bank and another contained two nestlings.

A very disarming and kind-looking weevil resting amongst the leaves of a non-native shrub! This weevil looks like it would help me in my time of need and ask for nothing in return. Its face kind of reminds me of a female rose-breasted grosbeak with its big, dark doe eyes and fat nose. Its colors are also beautiful, and all of the individual hairs and scales are so neat to look at. This is a 10/10 friend-shaped weevil!

July 27, 2026 - Bar-tailed Lark or Bar-tailed Desert Lark (Ammomanes cinctura) Found in a spotty range from Cape Verde across northern Africa and West Asia as far east as Pakistan, these larks live in deserts and dry savannas. They eat seeds, some other plant foods, and insects, foraging on the ground in small flocks outside of the breeding season. Females build nests in shallow depressions under or next to rocks from vegetation and small pebbles. Both parents incubate the clutches of two to four eggs and care for the chicks.

Don't worry, tiny weevil. You are safe here.
