Excellent capture!
Many species of butterlies and moths eat honeydew, aka aphid poop, so no nectar needed. Also the larvae do the bulk of the eating. Imagos of lepidoptera only need to survive not grow so food requirements are fairly low.
Because they live in environments lacking in the nutrients that can be gained from invertebrates (e.g. in highly acidic soil). This allows them to compete better against other plants. I guess non-flowering plants don't need the same nutrients so can go without. Only a beginnner+ at ecological botany so someone here can surely explain better knowing lemmy!
Directly below in my feed is a meme saying "I'll do it when I get home...me when I get home..." with a cat flopped out on a shelf. A small but gloriously serendipitous moment!
I stopped reading st the use of the word 'alphas'...
Yes I believe that's true, at least for some species. The poop is collected for use as a fertliser hence the resulting tendancy for infection.
Iirc, the phrase "bat shit crazy" comes from the harvesting of tropical bat guano (poop) for use as a fertliser. The poop is highly toxic, or contains toxic bacteria, which makes the harvesters go a little crazy! Not all bat species have this toxic poop.
A single finger for a wooden club, beaten by rock that breaks it & a cupped hand for water, that rock sinks in (looses) and wooden club flosts on (wins). Sorted.
If my understanding of physics is correct, they'd have to be slap bang in the centre of the reflected image (assuming a perfect sphere), so somewhere on the framework of the corner of the building.
Good shout, double checked btc website and it says scratches too.
There's tonnes of blackthorn and a lot of sheep in the UK and I've never heard it to be problematic. Sheep ate pretty dim, but bramble is definitely not thorny/spiney enough to get caught bar the odd occasion. I'm sure I heard about a shrub (African maybe) that sheep can get completely ensnared in and die, but can't find it!
