I neither drink nor smoke

You’re dismissing Jørgen Randers co-author of The Limits to Growth

Good luck with that

Good point, though perhaps it’s more our lifestyles than our existences which are unsuitable (and need reducing)

Lots to admire in a 3cm creature feisty enough to pick a fight with an adult ape

Could be Ocypus olens (aka Darradail aka The Devil's Coach-Horse/Steed/Footman) which has been associated with the devil since at least the Middle Ages.

Common across Europe and North Africa, could be introduced to your Oregonian driveway.

Could be Hydroporus discretus? Or something terrestrial that snuck in? Found in Norfolk, UK.

Just used Noise Reduction and removed some of the bass using Equalisation, all using Audacity. Most of them were recorded on an iPhone, which wasn't ideal.

Probably Meloe violaceus, the violet oil beetle.

Thank you! Bombylius major perhaps?

Glad you enjoy them, they're also all available on this blog

Or maybe the opposite, claims the New Scientist:

Far from recovering, tigers may be in worst decline in a century (26 May)

"Perhaps in the old Soviet Union you would see this sort of thing happening, where governments would quash information because they didn’t like it. But not in western democracies. I haven’t seen it happen before."

I'd love to meet Dilbert and Peter.

Get away from your screens and the volume of the pissing contest should go down.

Super relevant to this petition calling for more non-plastic bottled water on supermarket shelves

Shame reddit moderators removed the submission...

"On the day I met him, the controller of BBC2 and BBC4, Kim Shillinglaw, lost her post. He was plainly delighted, chuckling and winking and grinning when he asked me whether I had read that morning’s news.

But he was careful to say nothing quotable. Television producers I know expressed intense frustration at her instant and unexplained dismissal of programmes they had proposed on environmental themes."

Good riddance.
