I wonder if anyone can help explain to me what was happening in this puddle in my garden?

Some kind of water skippers, possibly a moth (?) and those green-y yellow things.

What were they? And what was trying to consume what else? Looks so fucking hectic in there!

Sorry for the terrible quality, obviously, the things were very small, my phone is relatively cheap and my hand is only so steady. The focus improves from where it is at the start.

Funny, I was getting an error that I wasn't able to decipher from my own {nasapower} package. I found a SO thread about the same message from last year, <stackoverflow.com/questions/78>. That really didn't help me debug it, but it was the top hit when I searched and it tells me others have had the same problem but no one opened an Issue.

I've since fixed it and pushed an update so the error message works as intended now, <github.com/ropensci/nasapower/>. Releasing to CRAN shortly.

19/04/2025 - We were heading for a hill but the first stop was so nice we stayed. A slow stroll in Aberdeenshire, looking at lovely stuff. Saw my first swallow this year. Tall trees, nice bugs and wonderful flowers and fungi.

Pick of the day was Tongues of Fire (last photo). A really interesting fungus. Here on its primary host, Juniper. It releases spores from its orange spore tubes, which ride the wind to find its secondary host, Hawthorn, then back to Juniper.

For anyone on mastodon.social, be aware that mutuals are currently showing as followed only, this is on the hover over cards, the "following" list on your profile, and on the mutuals profile pages. None are shown as mutuals. As far as I can tell, the only place it shows the correct information is on the "Follows and followers" section of your "edit profile" section. This may cause problems. I have reported it to staff. #fedihelp #bugs #mastodonsocial
