US President Joe Biden and his Chinese counterpart Xi discuss 'complex nature' of ties during virtual meet

This is a Fly, killed by a Fungus in my backyard last month. Although many people have seen the incredible footage in BBC'S Planet Earth of Ants infected by Fungi, climbing trees to disperse spores from their bodies, little known is that these same sorts of infections occur all around the globe, including in my backyard in Simcoe, Ontario. This Fly was clutching the top of a stem in my garden, compelled to do so by a fungal infection that spelled its doom in order to spread the fungal spores as widely as possible. To find out more about this and for more observations of Flies in my backyard in June (including photos and natural history), check out my latest blogpost at norfolknaturalist.ca! . . . . . . . #entomopathogenicfungi #entomophthora #fungi #fungiofinstagram #complexnature #backyardwonders #flyphotography #macrophotographyworld #blognorfolk #norfolkwild #norfolknaturalist #sciencebloggersofinstagram #naturebloggers #ontario #nature #naturephotographylovers (at Simcoe, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRMokDCJV7x/?utm_medium=tumblr

Flowers on the vine in our back yard. Such fascinating little creatures! All the little spindly bits that wrap & unwind with so many delicate parts inside. #vineflower #complexnature #myyard
