(MSN) Michael Skvarla, director of Penn State University’s Insect Identification Lab, found a mysterious large insect outside the Fayetteville super chain’s building – an experience he remembers “vividly.”
“I saw this huge insect on the side of the building,” he said in a press release from Penn State. “I thought it looked interesting, so I put it in my hand and did the rest of my shopping with it between my fingers. I got home, mounted it, and promptly forgot about it for almost a decade.”
Little did he know that years later, the giant flying bug was a “super-rare” Jurassic-era insect.
A zoom call lesson The scientist originally thought the bug he plucked from the Walmart’s exterior was an antlion. According to the Missouri Department of Conservation, the insects have:
Fragile, drab damselflies Elongated bodies Four intricately veined wings mottled with browns and black Clubbed or curved antennae about as long as the combined head and thorax Enter the fall of 2020: Skvarla was teaching an online course on insect biodiversity and evolution and, during a Zoom call, he realized it wasn’t what he originally thought.
The insect, he learned, was a true conversation piece…

WATCH: Biden Greeted by Chants of “FJB” in the UK
(Trending Politics) How loved is President Joe Biden internationally? So loved that, when he visited Great Britain for the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II, the crowd greeted him with the “f*** Joe Biden” chant that has become ubiquitous in the United States.
And that wasn’t the only humiliating moment for Biden at the funeral. In addition to the FJB chants that greeted the President and “Dr.” Jill, as they drove in “The Beast,” the massive presidential limo, the Bidens, were also seated 14 rows back during the ceremony and, because they arrived late, had to wait outside the chapel as the ceremony went forward….

Massachusetts Dems react after DeSantis transports migrants into ritzy Martha’s Vineyard: ‘Evil and inhumane’
One local representative called the action ‘evil and inhumane’ but said the migrants were taken care of
(FOX) Lawmakers in Massachusetts were tasked with caring for dozens of migrants Wednesday after Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis sent two planes full of migrants to Martha’s Vineyard, a ritzy island located in Dukes County.
On Wednesday, Democratic lawmakers voiced their criticism online after they were forced to act swiftly to provide them shelter, food, blankets and other necessities to the 50 migrants who now reside in their state.
Rep. Dylan Fernandes, a local lawmaker who represents Martha’s Vineyard as well as Falmouth, Nantucket and Gosnold, said on social media that he was part of the logistical effort to welcome the migrants, which he claimed DeSantis sent "to gain cheap political points."
"Pulling into Martha’s Vineyard right now. An island that welcomes immigrants and is stronger and more vibrant because of them," he wrote in a series of tweets… (Sure they do. Welcome to Diversity! – DD) Read the rest

(Armstrong Economics) The US Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) has been at its lowest level since, ironically, 1984. The reservoirs are composed of four underground sites constructed from salt domes on the Gulf Coasts of Louisiana and Texas. The White House began extracting oil from the emergency reserves to combat rising gas prices. Politicians simply hope that the problem can be patched up for as long as they can remain in power.
In August, the US extracted 18 million barrels of crude. The stockpile now sits at only 450 million, reaching a nearly 40-year low. Additionally, the White House under Biden has been selling off the remaining reserves to foreign refiners. China received nearly a million barrels of oil to a subsidiary of Sinopec, a company that previously received BILLIONS in investments from an equity firm operated by none other than Hunter Biden. In fact, Biden has sold off nearly a quarter of oil reserves this year alone. Is he deliberately trying to create a crisis to spark the Great Reset?
Russia is not to blame for rising gas prices, as a gallon cost a mere $2.28 in December 2020. A year later, after Biden implemented disastrous green policies, the price rose to $3.40. Biden panicked once gas hit $5 in June and began to pull from the reserves to make it seem as if he had a grip on the problem…Read the rest
