- Screwworm imported from Argentina, caught at border inspection in Florida. The interception isn't itself cause for alarm and shows the government is still functioning. Still, it's a demonstration of propagule pressure, and the re-establishment of screwworm here is likely a matter of when, not if.
- (also, that photo is *not* screwworm)
- A&M is now contending with the inevitable first amendment lawsuits stemming from their recent censorship splurge. I hope McCoul prevails.
- Anochetus rugosus, a tough little trap-jaw ant from Borneo. The color makes it look cherry-flavored, but I'd be surprised if this ant even lets you think about it.
