Well, nevertheless, my Hierodule is still eating well and has already postponed the fifth ooteka, so everything is still ahead

And yet, yes, in amber there is mold, insects overgrow, and with black streaks in the form of clearly bacterial slime, it's not epoxy, it's not toxic, but in general it's all strange, because it's not exactly what you can imagine how it happened that so MUCH oleoresin suddenly became buried and passed fossilized, did not collapse and preserved insects, and in general, so far, no analog of conifers in modern times does not give so much oleoresin.
There are a lot of secrets, not so much on the topic of the fossils themselves, but on the topic of where so much amber came from, and why it was preserved, there are scientific articles

, but everything is at the stage of la la la la

Green frogs do not sleep soundly, as soon as it warms up, they climb out. if it freezes , they fall asleep again.

For a long time mantises live only in the dreams of Pan Stepovoi. But in reality - like almost all insects of a temperate climate-from spring to autumn. Well, in some cases, in artificial conditions, you can stretch up to a year. This includes larval instars, and adults are not the longest phase in their life cycles.

And when Venice arrives, we sail away. In general, this whole year is a continuous roller coaster with some precipitation with an amplitude of 1-2 months. And the saddest thing is that all the "rainy seasons" did not fall at all at those periods of the year when they would have been of maximum benefit, but on the contrary. So there will be no more locusts, alas.

Panov's photos of birds are especially sanctioned this time. Without tears, you can only look at lazorevka and then not for long.

We have a temporary spring again. Honey, the snow has started to melt. And in the beam in general with most of the area of the northern slope descended. But there are practically no insects there, except for winter mosquitoes. All-tiki very much inhibits their slush. But on the walls of buildings, where everything has dried out and warmed up, insect activity is significant. But there are no polists among them, because this time their winter shelters have not yet been flooded. Everywhere, both in the gully and in the city, is full of flying spiders - such a belated "Indian summer". With the birds this time it was worse than the day before yesterday: no puffs, no kinglets. It looks like all sorts of interesting small birds fly mainly in cloudy and foggy weather. And in sunny weather, apparently, they sit out somewhere fearing feathered predators. Although the kinglets are not particularly hooked, they need to eat every minute. So they just flew by.
But I saw in one short excursion all the representatives of the Vranov family of the local fauna: as many as 6 species. For zimnyakov still no...

In Panov's apartment, of course, there will be no winter (although with these gas graters, who knows

), but in nature there is already winter

, although some mole rats do not agree yet - black earth molehills on white snow look very extravagant. I found in one place five kilograms of oyster mushrooms, one bush

, but, alas, they are already fse

Something SFS began to drive a blizzard. Yesterday, according to the forecast, the whole day was supposed to be sunny for us, but in fact the sun shone for two hours at most, and in the afternoon it didn't show up at all. And today it should have been overcast all day, but in fact the sun is shining

right now, I don't know if I'll have time to walk somewhere, find someone and take a picture until it hides, but it's worth a try. And in General. of course, yes, the season of hunting for the sun has begun...

P.S. I typed this post at noon, but it didn't go anywhere. Please note that the sun shone for up to 3 days, then it was overcast. It was fashionable to take a lot of interesting photos if not for one "but": I forgot to put the camera's batteries on charge in the evening. So at first I spent an hour charging one at 25%, licking my lips at the view from the window. Then I spent an hour and a half in nature fighting for survivability. As a result, I still made some test shots, but I'll post them a little later in another topic. Because the positive anomaly ended here. And there wasn't much of it. Here last year I remember the December lizard

, however, it was quick, we do not keep others in Donetsk.

Alex, have you become a cryophile? ) And just recently I wrote that we have a "paradise" here in winter, although I wrote about the same thing that you don't like right now)
Although, exactly this December and in fact and according to forecasts is just great! Clearly, there is no strong dirt, you can ride a bike, it's warm! This morning -0C was, the frost was beautiful, and in the afternoon again approx. +10 and clear, and even "clouds of good weather" float across the sky )
So in general, get ready, now we can grow pineapples in winter and you will have it like we used to have a "paradise winter climate", +2, overcast, slush))
And if the mountains in the north-east were to be filled up as high as Chomolugma, then we would have subtropics! And lo and behold, no "Europe" would blow out to you, there would be a native poskonnaya winter based on the racial-Russian poet Pushkin's "frost and sun"... September to July

Now is the time, I don't know what to consider disinfo, and what accidentally leaked the truth.
The air density is different at -50 and +1, and the oxygen concentration varies accordingly.
I understand that the deer plague during the thaw could have occurred as a result of hunting by Gazprom's top managers in mild weather.
However, after watching a lot of scientists, their work, and listening to their revelations under vodka, I came to the conclusion that modern science is most often fake. And yes, I am a family man, my wife supplemented my knowledge in this regard very harmoniously. Our data matched.

I bought some feed cockroaches over the weekend. It remains to multiply them and find someone to feed them.
And we have a thaw, less and less snow. Winter won't be
