I and the Bird #125 is on Twin Cities Naturalist. Kirk reads the latitude numbers and leads us from 37° South, in Australia, to 50° North, in Germany. (I'm there, at 49° North.)
The Moth and Me #11. Ted, of Beetles in the Bush, brings us fifteen beautiful moths. Well, thirteen, and two bag moths. None of mine, unfortunately; the moths just aren't showing up around here yet. Except for the tiny Indian Meal moths that I'm feeding to a spider.
House of Herps #6, appropriately on Philly Herping. Snakes, turtles, lizards, mudpuppies, and did I mention snakes? Rattlers!
And the newest of the carnivals; An Inordinate Fondness #4. A road trip, searching for beetles, Jason driving.
Thousands of miles and ...
"Did everyone go to the bathroom? I don’t want to have to stop in fifteen minutes."
... only three bathroom breaks. And no time for lunch. The beetles were fun, though.
Let it rain!
Interesting links, but I must be slow. Why are they called carnivals? It really blew last night, but our flight down to Vancouver on Pacific Coastal was surprisingly not too bumpy. I don't think I can say the same for the people who took the ferry across from Comox. It looked like rock and roll to me. - Margy
ReplyDeleteI have no idea why they're called that. Wikipedia defines a carnival as "a public celebration or parade combining some elements of a circus, mask and public street party."
ReplyDeleteIt might be related to the idea of a parade. Of blog posts, this time, instead of costumed dancers.
Guess that makes sense - thanks for the info. - Margy
