Happy Victory Day.

World War II, which lasted from 1939 to 1945, was one of the most significant events in modern history. Its outcomes reshaped the global landscape, leading to profound political, social, and economic changes.

The Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, the United States, France, China, Belgium, and other countries made a great contribution to ending the war.

Week 19 Observations

5.7.25

Vine Sphinx Moth

Eumorpha vitis

Observed at Galveston Island State Park 5.4.25 and 8.24.24. It is native to this area as well as commonly found across Texas, Arizona, Mississippi down to Argentina.

They can fly up to 30 mph making it one of the fastest flying insects. They can hover like a hummingbird when getting nectar. Their tongue, or proboscis, is one of the longest among butterflies and moths, this allows them to reach further for the nectar deep down in tubular flowers.

They are most active at night and are attracted to light.

The caterpillars, or hornworms, can be very destructive to plants especially grapevines. They are not dangerous to humans. They can be pests as caterpillars but also plays an important role in the pollination of grapevines.

5.8.25

Ruby-throated Hummingbird

Archilochus colubris

Observed 5.8.25 at Galveston Island State Park. They are not native to this area though are common during their spring and fall migrations to and from Central America where they winter.

They are the only birds that besides flying forward also have the ability to fly backwards and hover in place. Their wings beat up to 50 times a SECOND allowing them to make precise movements.

To keep up with their high metabolism, they consume their weight in nectar and insects daily. They prefer red or orange, tubular flowers and are attracted to feeders with red nectar. They play a vital part in plant reproduction because they transfer pollen while visiting a hundred flowers per day getting nectar. They see color so well they can also see into the ultraviolet spectrum.

They make a rapid, squeaky chirp, usually when they feel threatened. Their average lifespan is about 4 years.

5.9.25

Coral Bean

Erythrina herbacea

Observed at Galveston Island State Park 5.8.25. It is native, ranging from Texas, along the Gulf of Mexico coasts, to South Carolina.

The bright red, tubular flowers attract hummingbirds and butterflies when it blooms in spring. There are small, curved thorns on the stems and leaves that protect the plant from small animals. The leaves constantly turn towards the sun, a process called phototropism.

The seeds are poisonous but the young leaves and flowers are safe to eat after boiling. Native Americans have used the coral bean for purposes such as for laxatives and to increase perspiration. In Mexico, the seeds have been used to paralyze fish and as a rat poison.

They have the potential to become invasive, rapidly spreading through seed production.

5.10.25

Decollate Snail

Rumina decollata

Observed 5.10.25 at home on Galveston. It’s a nonnative species and was introduced to North America from North Africa for pest control of brown garden snails. They are omnivores and because they eat plants as well as other invertebrates they are prohibited from areas like the Pacific Northwest so protect native snail species.

They are most active at night or during rainy weather and will hide under leaf litter and soil to keep from drying out. They can burrow deep in the soil to survive cold and dry periods.

They mature quickly at about 10 months and start laying eggs. They are hermaphrodites which enables them to self fertilize but they often mate with another snail before laying up to 500 eggs in their lifetime.

The mantle (area of tissue between the body and shell) of the snail secretes layers of calcium carbonate along the opening edge of the shell, growing in length and width as the snail grows. Unlike most snails, it loses the older whorls of the shell giving it the characteristic cone shape.

5.11.25

White Ibis

Eudocimus albus

Observed at Galveston Island State Park5.11.25. Native range includes coastal states from Delaware to Texas and down to Central America and the Caribbean.

Highly social species, feeding, nesting and roosting in flocks.

They use their long, curved bills to probe the ground to find prey such as crustaceans, fish and insects. An adaptable species, living in various wetland habitats and urban areas.

They have unique mating rituals that include bathing, group fighting, and head shaking. They build their nests in trees and both parents care for the young.

Ibis species have fossil records dating back millions of years!

5.12.25

Firewheel

Gaillardia pulchella

Observed on Galveston 5.12.25 (and most other days this spring). Native to southern US, Arizona to Florida and northern Mexico.

In the sunflower family. A good source of pollen for native butterflies and bees.

Thrives in sun and partial shade. Heat and drought tolerant. Is a low maintenance, short lived perennial that can easily spread its seeds to reproduce. Can grow up to 2 ft and found in fields, disturbed areas and along roadsides.

5.13.25

Lilac Chaste Tree

Vitex agnus-castus

Observed at Lafitte’s Cove in Galveston and also at my apartment complex 5.11.25. Nonnative plant, introduced from the Mediterranean area.

If not maintained it could become invasive in warmer climates. Its fragrant flowers attract all kinds of pollinators making it an important ornamental addition to landscapes.

It has been used both for culinary and medicinal purposes. In the kitchen the leaves and fruits have been used for spice or in spice blends. Medically, it has traditionally been used to help with menopause, menstrual and premenstrual issues.

The Moon Pierrot - Лунный Пьеро. damn good russian prog rock. haven't listened to the rest of their stuff if they have any because it's... mid. Eh

Rechenzentrum and all 3 of their albums. minimal house?, IDM... Oh yeah, of the Mille Plateaux movement. I Enjoy them greatly, even had their name as my url for .. 11 months I believe, before this one. They disbanded way ago, oh well.

The Kossoy Sisters - Bowling Green. no idea what the difference between this one is and the one they supposedly recorded with some man. listen to the one w t red cover of the green trees. so good.

Animal Collective - Merriweather Post pavilion . been rocking w it lately (the past three days or so). good stuff, dense, eclectic, upbeat, layered, ethereal.... if that's what you're looking for.

Nogu Svelo! - Капризы Манекенщиц. So fun. love how he plays w his voice. russian prog rock punk???? I used to describe them w "ska" a lot but not this release really. and they aren't really ska they only use a lot of upbeat arrangements and brass sections. but I don't mean here. I love this one. I think their music got more predictable and straightforward as they went past their prime... like one knows what to expect.
