here’s a list of edible invasive species! (courtesy of wikipedia, so don’t consider this a guide on preparation or anything!) you’re interested at all in foraging, want to provide your own food but can’t grow it, or just want to help the environment, this is a great way! it both helps natural habitats and gets you food for free!

🐠 Daily Fish Fact: 🐠
Lionfish have established themselves as significant invasive species off the East Coast of the United States and in the Caribbean. adult lionfish have few identified natural predators, likely due to the effectiveness of their venomous spines: when threatened, a lionfish will orient its body to keep its dorsal fin pointed at the predator, even if this means swimming upsidedown.

Distribution of Marsupials around the world.
A distinctive characteristic common to most of these species is that the young are carried in a pouch.
Around 30% of all marsupial species live in the Americas, the other 70% are in Australia, New Guinea and the surrounding islands.
Tumblr media
Close to 70% occur on the Australian continent (the mainland, Tasmania, New Guinea and nearby islands). The remaining 30% are found in the Americas—primarily in South America, thirteen in Central America, and one species, the Virginia opossum, in North America, north of Mexico.
Tumblr media
The Virginia opossum is the original animal named "opossum", a word which comes from Algonquian wapathemwa, meaning "white animal". The opossum was not originally native to the West Coast of the USA. It was intentionally introduced into the West during the Great Depression.

[PREVIEW] Invasive #1 (December 5, 2023)
writer: Cullen Bunn | artist and cover artist: Jesús Hervás | publishing company: Oni Press
synopsis: Beyond excess, beyond ethics, beyond science. . . . Enter a terrifying new experiment in pain from Eisner Award nominee Cullen Bunn (The Sixth Gun, Basilisk) and acclaimed illustrator Jesús Hervás (The Empty Man)!
Dr. Carrie Reynolds was a veteran trauma surgeon with a godlike mastery of muscle and bone. But outside the operating room, her rigidly ordered life spiraled into chaos when her daughter, Heather—a recovering plastic surgery addict—suddenly disappeared, only to mysteriously reemerge in a catatonic state, her vocal cords removed . . . the latest in a series of victims all scarred by a battery of brazenly cruel medical procedures that have baffled police and left an alarming number of once-ordinary citizens maimed, mutilated, or dead on arrival.
Because, deep beneath the streets of Carrie’s city, a new kind of underground hospital has just opened its doors . . .  and, once inside, there are no rules, no oaths, and no taboos too deep to not to be broken. Together, a new class of surgeon has sworn to pierce the final threshold of accepted medical orthodoxy one incision at a time.
The scalpel is their tool. The alleys are their operating theater. Murder is their medicine. And only Carrie can stop what they're planning next . . .

I take the soil in my clean fingers and to say I weep is untrue, weep is too musical a word. I heave into the soil. You cannot die. I just came to this life again, alive in my silent way. Last night I dreamt I could only save one person by saying their name and the exact time and date. I choose you.
— Ada Limón, from “Invasive,” The Hurting Kind

I had not seen or heard
the Starlings in a bit, but in the last couple of days, they have come back a bit, along with groups of flocking Cowbirds. The adults are starting to get into their winter plumage, and I always like this look because they almost look like the fantasy birds we used to draw as children. The young ones will soon also be back, I assume, with their own unique look when the adult feathers come out through their brown baby plumage.

Plant of the Day
Tuesday 25 October 2022
The white flowers of this Anemone × hybrida 'Honorine Jobert' (Japanese anemone) look great with the grey wood plank background. I have found these plants can be hard to establish but once happy they can become invasive so position where they can make a colony for an autumn display.

I’m doing an exercise with rock pigeons because I love them an incredible amount. I may or may not sprinkle in some various chickens too.
