Wasps and birds typically do not get along. There are many types of birds that specialize in eating wasps, and there's even a few wasps that have been known to eat small young birds too. And yet, there are rare cases where wasps and birds coexist.

Sociable weaver birds (Philetairus socius) are known for making massive multifamily nests, and sometimes they specifically choose to be neighbors with the nests of wasps such as B. lateritia. It's believed the small birds do this because less predators are willing to mess with the stinging wasps around. It's also been theorized that the wasps' nest building instincts also help maintain the birds' nests. For the wasps, they also benefit from the protection of being a part of a larger structure. The flies that are attracted to the birds' waste are also an easy food source for the wasps' young.

Fork-tailed Bush Katydid (Scudderia furcata), nymph, taken June 20, 2026, in Georgia, US

A lanky katydid nymph trying to decide whether or not it wants to jump out of the way of my attention! Katydid nymphs are normally quite lanky, but the thin limbs of this genus take it to another level. Utterly colt-like in proportion. They also have the most beautiful rainbow coloration, likely backed by UV-spectrum camouflage to keep them off the radar of predator insects. As they grow larger, their camouflage will shift from UV to the visible light spectrum, as big katydids are a better snack for birds than for most bugs. When they're fully grown, you end up with a large insect that looks almost like a rolled-up leaf—long, green, and tough to spot!

POISONOUS.

This bird has batrachotoxin in its skin and feathers. (Most likely obtained from consuming Choresine beetles.)

June 23, 2026 - Crocker Jungle Flycatcher (Cyornis ruficrissa) Found in the mountains of Borneo, these flycatchers live in forests. Foraging alone, they are thought to eat small insects, though the details of their diet are unknown. While nothing is known about their breeding behavior some related species build cup-shaped nests.

Scrambled egg slime/Fuligo septica/trollsmör, a species of slime mould.

Fuligo septica, commonly known in Sweden as trollsmör ("troll butter"), belong to a remarkable group of single-celled organisms that spend part of their lives as a giant, multinucleate cell known as a plasmodium.

During this stage, they can slowly move across decaying wood, engulfing bacteria, fungi and other microscopic food in their path. It may only travel a few centimetres a day, but it is very much alive and on the move. When conditions change, the plasmodium transforms into a spore-producing fruiting body, which is usually the stage we notice in the forest.

Slime moulds have fascinated people for centuries because they seem to appear overnight and vanish just as quickly. In Nordic folklore, trollsmör was said to be milk spilled by a magical creature known as a bjära or "troll hare", sent out by witches to steal milk from their neighbours' cows. Wherever a little of the stolen milk was dropped in the forest, trollsmör was believed to appear.

The real explanation is perhaps even more extraordinary than the old legends.
