A scene of CoolDog and Betty standing in front of the basement door locked and barred with a chair in front of it. CD is armed with a rifle, a bandolier and a sword.
Betty: "Good luck, CD!"
CD: "Thanks Betty, but this should only take an hour."

“Frogs, bats, spiders, and dragonflies are more than just creatures we happen to find around our homes and fields. They are part of the natural system that helps keep insect populations in check.

A frog can consume large numbers of insects, bats feed on flying insects, and spiders capture countless prey in their webs. Even dragonflies contribute at an earlier stage of their lives: their aquatic nymphs eat mosquito larvae and other small aquatic organisms.

None of this means nature’s predators can eliminate every pest, or that agriculture can simply stop using pesticides. Ecosystems are far more complicated than that. But it does show why indiscriminate chemical use can have consequences beyond the insects we are trying to control.

When pesticides affect beneficial predators and pollinators along with pests, we can end up weakening some of the very organisms that help ecosystems function.

That’s why protecting habitat matters.

Healthy wetlands give amphibians and dragonflies places to reproduce. Native plants provide food and shelter for insects, birds, and other wildlife. Reducing unnecessary chemical use gives beneficial species a better chance to survive and continue doing what they have evolved to do.

Nature already has its own pest-control network.

Sometimes the best thing we can do is protect the habitat that allows that network to keep working.”

🦇 Bats, and flight, began in Europe

A fossil and genome study finds bats, and powered flight in mammals, probably arose in Europe in the late Palaeocene, not Africa or North America as long assumed.

The bats and others to visit one banana flower in our Thailand garden during one night (plus early morning). Most people cut the flower off by this stage to encourage larger bananas but I say let the wildlife drink nectar!🦇

Find of the day : a Noctule 🦇 wing in the street! Pretty cool.
They're Vienna's biggest bats, and they're pretty common overall.
The photo is slightly 'gory', since it's really just a wing. And not in super good shape even.

#Ireland: Tracing Bat Origins to Europe

A major new study suggests bats first evolved in Europe about 65 million years ago, with their unique genomes offering clues about longevity, immunity, and cancer resistance.
