people always talk about how pretty the cherry blossoms are or the browning autumn leaves in the north hemisphere but no one appreciates the humble Ipê of Brazil

she does literally so much for us, and for what? Y'all don't give her her due respect.

We call them lapachos in Argentina, and there's nothing prettier than seeing one on the road, tall and pink above all other trees.

Fun fact: Green forester moths (Adscita statices) aren't always green— on cool nights they become a rusty orange, then change back to blue-green in the morning.

This color change is possible due to the unique structure of some specialized wing scales:

The layers of tiny air pockets in these scales absorb water vapor from dewy night air, changing the way the light refracts:

Their color change reverses as the wing scales dry out in the sun:

Golf is an extremely effeminate game. Its a non-contact low-exertion activity played on a perfectly manicured little picnic lawn and between individual actions you sit in a dainty car and get driven to the next spot so you arent blemished by the act of walking under the sun. If elderly men ever realized this it would be cataclysmic
