Keep your eyes out for the beautiful cinnabar moth this summer 👀
Often mistaken for a butterfly, the cinnabar moth can be seen flying in the day and night with its striking black and red wings. Look for the two red spots and the long red bar on it's forewings which can distinguish it from the similar burnet moths.
Later in the summer you might be able to see their yellow and black caterpillars feasting on ragwort plants. Their bright colours warn potential predators that they are poisonous and to stay clear.

Better Questions, Better Results
I don’t know the proper etiquette on spoilers, especially for books that have been made into movies, so out of an abundance of caution I will start with this:
<SPOILER WARNING>
Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton
I had seen the movie, but in an effort to build some discipline in my reading skills heading off to college, I thought it may be a good idea to read some books. One of the books I read that summer was Jurassic Park.
If you haven’t read it before, I would encourage you to give it a read – especially if you have enjoyed the movies.
The two things I remember most about the book are:
1. The chapters are super short. This made the book difficult for me to put down as it was so easy to read “one more chapter.”
2. An important plot element around the asking of questions.
This plot element I will share with you today as it shows the importance of the questions you ask.
There was a lot of emphasis put on the security of Jurassic Park, and with regularity, a count was done on the dinosaurs to make sure that none of them had gotten away. When the time came, security would look for a certain number of a particular kind of dinosaur and when that number was achieved the next dinosaur would be counted.
It seemed to be a fine question to ask to make sure all were safe on the island. But it didn’t account for dinosaurs reproducing.
This element amplified the drama of the story.
It also highlights the importance of the questions we ask.
There is a world of difference in asking if you can find 10 raptors and how many raptors can you find.
When the question was changed in the book, there was a huge breakthrough.
The same thing can happen for us as well. When we ask better questions, we can have breakthroughs also. Breakthroughs for ourselves, our teams, our patients, our customers, our business – better questions can benefit everyone!
What are some changes you have made to the questions you ask over the years?

These are baby Large Flower Corals, commonly referred to as Spiny Flower Corals. Despite their name, they are quite small at this early stage in their development. However, they will continue to grow until they cover the plug they're on, at which point they will be transferred to a larger plate! As they expand outward, they will also form additional polyps that resemble their current appearance, ultimately creating a complete coral colony.

The infinitesimal warriors!
-
Skeleton shrimps, the tiny warriors of the sea, are nature's quirky marvels that combine cuteness with scientific fascination. These minuscule crustaceans, measuring a mere few millimeters, boast a transparent exoskeleton resembling a delicate suit of armor. Their elongated bodies, adorned with spindly legs, make them appear like ethereal creatures straight out of a fantasy novel.
-
When it comes to dining, these shrimps are no amateurs. Armed with their tiny yet powerful claws, they expertly snatch microscopic prey from the water column, exhibiting impressive hunting skills. Their diet consists of plankton, detritus, and other small organisms, which they capture with lightning-fast precision.
-
But don't let their diminutive size fool you; skeleton shrimps are fierce fighters. When territorial disputes arise, they engage in epic battles, using their spiky appendages to duel for dominance. These skirmishes are more akin to a graceful dance, as they elegantly maneuver through the water, showcasing their agility and resilience.

Can you see the skeleton shrimp catching a drifting plankton in this video?

Well again an unpredictable week and it is Friday, so it must be Thin Section Thursday....; Anyhow today's offering is fairly spectacular, from the Jurassic of southern Mexico, a strongly compacted oolitic grainstone with very bright luminescent burial cements infilling all remaining porosity. There are small bright rhombs that are associated with ooid-ooid contacts; these may represent dedolomitised early burial dolomite; they pre-date the main calcite phase. Post-dating all phases is a tectonic fracture (likely Miocene? related to Chiapaneco deformation) which again is occluded with luminescent burial cements, although more uniformly so than the pore fills. There is no evidence of early pre-burial cements which is one possible reason for the effects of compaction. The message in this case has to be that some early cements are beneficial in terms of keeping porosity open during compaction.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝗕𝗮𝘀𝗸𝗲𝘁 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿?
A Malaysian fisherman posted a video about a Basket Star.
𝗟𝗼𝗰𝗮𝗹𝘆𝗸𝗿𝘁 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗠𝗮𝗹𝗮𝘆: Baru tahu real live basket star macam mana, serupa macam sotong, tengok dia gerak-gerak jadi geli pulak.
𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗵: Just found out what a real live basket star is like, it's like an octopus, it's funny to watch him move. 😄😂
A basket star is a type of marine animal belonging to the class Ophiuroidea, which includes brittle stars. Basket stars are echinoderms, related to starfish and sea urchins. These creatures are characterized by their intricate and highly branched arms, giving them a basket-like or web-like appearance.
The arms of a basket star are usually long, thin, and highly flexible, often extending in multiple directions. These arms are typically covered with small, pincer-like structures called pedicellariae and tiny tube feet that help the animal move and capture prey. Basket stars are primarily nocturnal, becoming more active during the night.
Basket stars are found in deep-sea environments around the world, often attached to rocks or other substrates. They are filter feeders, using their arms to catch plankton and small particles from the water. While they might look delicate, basket stars are well-adapted to their environment and can exhibit remarkable flexibility in their movements.

The Marmoset Monkey: A tiny titan of the tropical world! ❤️
Weighing in at a mere 140 grams, this pint-sized primate is the smallest monkey in the world, but don't let its size fool you.
With eyes like shining jewels and a fur coat as soft as silk, the adult marmoset exudes a quiet confidence, as if it knows it's the true ruler of the forest.
As it flits from branch to branch, its long tail twitching like a metronome, the marmoset seems to embody the very essence of agility.
Its tiny hands, perfect for grasping and manipulating, are a marvel of evolution, allowing it to extract the sweetest nectar from the deepest flowers, and when it calls out in its high-pitched voice, the forest comes alive with a chorus of responses, a testament to the marmoset's status as a true social butterfly.
But beware: beneath its innocent face and playful demeanor lies a mischievous streak, waiting to be unleashed.
For when the mood strikes, the marmoset can transform into a whirlwind of chaos, darting and weaving through the underbrush with a speed and agility that leaves even the most seasoned observers agog.
It's a reminder that, even in the smallest of packages, a big personality can reside.
