I just woke up at 7 am exactly w a weird feeling, then a few minutes later my whole room is rumbling and I can hear the glass in my window rattling. It lasted about a minute or two. I actually thought there was an earthquake for a few minutes there. But no, just Space-X launching their "Super Heavy" rocket, the "most powerful launch vehicle ever built', about 25 minutes away from my home. I cannot even describe how much I hate Space-X for all that they've done to my community and the environment in which we live. Musk has inflicted SEVERE and unforgivable harm upon land extremely diverse in plant and animal species (we have the 2nd highest concentration of wildlife next to Everglades!!), has made sea turtle nesting sites unsafe and unusable for the turtles, and is encouraging the gentrification of our culturally unique border community. Not to mention, the land which he disrespects so blatantly is occupied by the Carrizo Comecrudo tribe and is extremely significant to the indigenous peoples of this region. My own ancestors relied on this coastal environment for nourishment and safety, and it has always been a source of peace and love for my family and myself.
kentish glory moths!! these are absolutely STUNNING with their colour scheme, which is my belowed brown-cinnamon-white mix, i love these guys!! in this video below from Bart Coppens on youtube (link in sources!) you can take a look at how clumsy and cute they are :)
It's a fairly scarce moth that lives in the northern hemisphere eurasia area, which feels mainly on birch and lives in moist marshlands. one of my favourite moths, send them my way or @ me if you find one! :D
