Hey entomologists- do any insects overwinter in milkweed or catmint stems? Does anyone know which plants we should be leaving as they stand & which we can leaf pile? I know some insects hibernate in the stalks but idk which ones 🤔 My back yard I’m leaving everything but the front is complicated.

My reaction to this post and most of the replies to it:

What could possibly go wrong? apnews.com/article/cdc-... Cool, cool, cool-cool-cool. (And yeah, yeah, this stuff is probably all around us, all the time, and we're blissfully ignorant to its presence...but...woof, nonetheless.)

Wait. Where'd everyone go?

If you're an Earth Science educator in MN, this is a good one-day conference for you to consider attending:

Yeah, it's cute, but what they don't show is the injury to the fingers that was caused by being bitten by a wild cyclist. 😞

We had SO much fun tonight, with over 35 guests attending! Such great conversation, artwork, and laughs, all around. Will post pics this weekend, but for now, we're gearing up for more fun as @stcloudstate.bsky.social Family Day is tomorrow! 😀👍

Have you ever been so tired at work after a very long day of, well, work, that you've considered just crawling under your desk and sleeping there instead of going home? No? Just me? 'K.

Know where it's NOT raining tonight? In the SCSU Planetarium, in the Wick Science Building's basement at @stcloudstate.bsky.social! Come join us for our Statewide Star Party; the fun starts at 6:30 PM. 🤩👍 Hope to see you under the stars as we learn all about this year's theme, AURORAS!

Y'know...Good for him for taking a creative approach.

Heads-up: Our Statewide Star party will be in FULL SWING on 19 September, beginning at 6:30 PM, but due to low sign-up numbers for the 18th of September, we have had to cancel our Statewide Star Party for the 18th. Still room for signing up for the 19th's fun events: [email protected]

Gosh, I enjoy looking at various satellite products, especially for distinguishing clouds at night. You can find out more about this product (Night Microphysics) here: www.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/GOES/sector_...

Wait, is T.L.C. getting rebooted?

If you're cold, they're cold...Bring them inside!

As a reminder, our annual "Statewide Star Party" will be held on 18 and 19 September (this coming week!) from 6:30-9:00 PM each night. It's FREE and open to everyone, but we do ask that you reserve your spot(s) by dropping us an email at [email protected]. Come join us for the fun!

@gailsimone.bsky.social, as a heads-up to you and yer followers, the Red Cross is currently doin' a crossover with Snoopy. Blood, platelets, plasma, etc. are always in short supply, but now's an especially great time for folks to roll up a sleeve: www.redcrossblood.org/local-homepa...

Can't unsee. Tried to, for sure, but can't.

Just saw an ad for a hair care product and said, "OMG, it's @jortsthecat.bsky.social's 'honk honk HEE honk-honk' song!!!" Then the other person in the room with me looked at me like I had lost what remains of my mind. (For reference, here's the commercial: www.ispot.tv/ad/18Ly/garn...)
