Hi guys👋
Have you ever wondered why termites infest houses that aren't made of wood?❗️
I was published a new article in the Facebook fan page about this topic. If you want to know the answer why is it happened.

Decrypting cryptogams vs cryptograms. 🔍
Cryptogams include mosses, hornworts, liverworts, ferns, fungi, lichens, slime moulds and algae. Their shared lack of seeds meant their way of reproducing was a mystery to early botanists, who lumped them together in a group.
Now we know most cryptogams do share a common feature: they reproduce via microscopic spores.
Telling species apart is our specialty. The cryptogam collection of the Australian National Herbarium has 300,000 specimens identified by expert botanists. We’re now bringing them to the world, thanks to digitisation.

Daily Facts® : An octopus is incredibly small during its larval stage, often measuring just a few millimeters.
These tiny creatures drift in the ocean currents, blending into their surroundings with remarkable camouflage.
As they grow, they undergo significant changes, eventually developing into the intelligent and complex beings we recognize.
This early stage is crucial for their survival, as it helps them avoid predators and find food.
Understanding the larval stage of octopuses provides valuable insights into their life cycle and behavior.

How to Solve Grey/Yellow Drosophila Crossing Problem
Drosophila melanogaster is a species of fly \(the taxonomic order Diptera\) in the family Drosophilidae. The species is known generally as the common fruit fly or vinegar fly. Starting with Charles W. Woodworth's proposal of the use of this species as a model organism, D. melanogaster continues to be widely used for biological research in studies of genetics, physiology, microbial pathogenesis, and life history evolution. It is typically used because it is an animal species that is easy to care for, has four pairs of chromosomes, breeds quickly, and lays many eggs. D. melanogaster is a common pest in homes, restaurants, and other occupied places where food is served.
Flies belonging to the family Tephritidae are also called "fruit flies". This can cause confusion, especially in Australia and South Africa, where the Mediterranean fruit fly Ceratitis capitata is an economic pest.

As it's that time of the year again: here I explain why, when, and how to treat against varroa mites. I wrote it with the change in strategy in Australia in mind (from eradication to control). But it's valid all over the world and may be a good reminder for some.

Because, you know what? The biology of honey bees or varroa mites doesn't change just because you're living in Germany or Australia. The expression of it may be different - when the peak of development happens and when the resources are abundant, for instance. But the biology is a general underlying principle.

🌖🔭 Observing the Solar Eclipse Together 🔭🌔
In the spirit of shared discovery and wonder, we will take a moment from our daily routines to witness this celestial event! Here are some engaging facts to enhance your viewing experience.
1. Speedy Shadow: The shadow of the Moon moves across the Earth at speeds exceeding 1,700 km/h (about 1,056 mph) during a total solar eclipse.
2. Historical Practices: Ancient cultures once made noise with pots and pans to scare off what they imagined was a giant beast consuming the Sun. While we're not suggesting you do the same, feel free to snack loudly in solidarity!
3. Rarity and Wonder: Total solar eclipses are rare and wondrous events, appearing in any given location on Earth only once every 360 to 410 years, on average.
4. A Sudden Chill: You might notice a slight drop in temperature during the eclipse, by about 10°F.
5. Animal Behavior: The animal kingdom often reacts to the eclipse as if it were suddenly night, with some nocturnal creatures becoming more active. It's a reminder of how deeply connected we are to the natural world.
🌔 We hope you enjoy this remarkable celestial event. Happy Eclipse Watching! 🌖
