#happy Canada Day

[lunar-dyke]

Another year, another fuck Canada day. Instead of spending money on colonial festivities, support indigenous people today! I am two-spirited and Wetʼsuwetʼen.

I currently live off a minimal disability pension that usually doesn't cover my expenses for the month. I have medication I haven't taken for two months because it isn't covered, and I have heavy debts I've taken on to continue to afford groceries, essentials, and rent.

I am going to school this fall to hopefully work in a position that will allow me to have full-time hours despite my disability, but I need to financially survive until the end of the semester next spring.

Happy Canada Day!

What stories do you think of when you look at this picture?

Coralina Locust Nymph - Dissosteira carolina

It gets more difficult every year to offer up a red-colored insect in celebration of Canada Day. Of course, there are several familiar and iconic insects to pick (such as the Milkweed Beetle featured 2 weeks ago), but maybe that's too easy. As it happens, I wasn't sure what to upload, but mother nature seemed to hear my oddly specific problem and answered. Moreover, she answered in way let allowed the blog to continue showcasing insects from some of the more neglected insect order. As such, what do I find among the pine bushes while weeding the patio stones? A very conspicuous Orthopteran walking and climbing among the needles! I couldn't tell you how it got there, but I'm happy to have found it. Sure, it's a brick brownish-red color rather than a brilliant saturated red, but it will do, and what a beautiful specimen it is. While that brick-red coloration might be out of place in a verdant environment, it is intended to be used in a sandy, stone-filled environment in order to camouflage against the ground and more lithic elements.

Crypsis and remaining motionless are the best options this young Grasshopper nymph has to survive since its wings haven't grown yet. Upon arriving into adulthood, this specie will be capable of hurling itself long distances and then using its dark, yellow-bordered wings to truly fly. As such, this individual was at great risk up in the pine bushes, so I picked him up and placed him in the grass below, and then it scampered away quickly. While photographing this nymph, I noticed a few things like I'd like to bring to your attention. There are dark stripes/blotches on the inner hindleg of this Grasshopper (best seen in Pictures 1 and 5). As well, if you look at the pronotum (thoracic plates) of this jumping insect, take note of the notch in the pronotum. Apparently this notch is characteristic of this specie and helps differentiate it from other mottled and gravelly Grasshoppers, and yet, it's such an obvious thing to see. Combine these 2 observations and we for sure have a young Carolina Locust identified. Nevertheless, how it wound up in a pine bush, I'll never know.

Pictures were taken on June 30, 2024 with a Google Pixel 4. Happy (day after) Canada Day! Have a great adventure!
