hi so i switch what i wanna read so fast that basically every libby book i borrow goes unread or i end up returning it early idk what's wrong w me but i'm only in the mood for reading a specific book for like an hour before i'm craving something completely different. does anyone have any tips to manage this bcz i actually cannot finish ANYTHING tysm 😭

If anyone is as curious about the Aphids as I am, I found a neat little video that shows real-life Oleander Aphids (among other types), and the way they reproduce, their predators, the way ants feed from their honeydew, and even the life cycle of the parasitoid wasps that are used to kill them. Huge warning for anyone who's afraid of bugs because everything is in 4K and zoomed in 😂, but it's very interesting to see all we read about in real life! Link to the video

Edit: It also shows how Aphids grow their wings!

Here, though rarely seen, queen bumble bees dig themselves down into cozy beds of fluffy soil and earthy dead vegetation. They remain groggy and inactive throughout winter, like hibernating bears. Pumped full of their own biochemical antifreeze, they withstand repeated freezing and thawing and the massive pressure of heavy snowpack. Some bee researchers believe that bumble bee queens select cool, north-facing slopes, the last places to warm in spring. This lets them remain in hibernation until the aboveground world has flowers ready for them.

I am constantly amazed by how intelligent and efficient bees are! I have a question, though: do all bees go into the soil to wait for winter to be over? And why is the queen bumblebee alone? I always assumed that the other bees accompanied queen bees at all times, and that they stayed in their hive for the winter, or is it that bumblebees act differently? Or maybe this is the usual procedure for all bees, and I wasn't aware.

Happy Friday, fellow fiction fans! (I love alliteration).

Drop the first line or two of the book you're currently reading, and let fellow Boundlings try to guess the title and author. If no one gets it by the end of the day, come back and reveal the answer!

A few friendly guidelines: • Keep it to the first line or two only (no spoilers!) • Don’t include the title or author right away • Feel free to add a hint later if people get stuck

Hello friends 💗 I have been thinking about this for a while... LOL. We've all heard about reading in the bath, but now i come to you with this concept: reading in the shower. With the rise of cellphones and ereaders, I think it is actually possible to do this. Now my question is... has anyone read in the shower? How did you do it? If you haven't, how would you go about reading in the shower? Would you even WANT to read in the shower?!

My kobo is ALLEGEDLY waterproof (I don't want to test that 🥹) and my phone says it's waterproof (is it bad i care less about my phone than my kobo?) So technically i guess I could bring them into the shower??? But then how to page turn? A remote isn't waterproof... so how would one go about this...
