I'll let you know when I'm ready for the end of life, the universes and everything.
I didn't talk about 42.
But in a way you replied.
Tschüß.

"Nah"…when?

Nah. Not yet.

Serious question:
Do you want me to destroy all?
Parallel universive included?

Happy weekend to you too!

You'd be the only one here that gives a fat rat's ass about my butterflies so I didn't take any photos or videos of them hatching this year to post on the site. I don't need pictures or videos to remind me of this yearly miracle because I live with it constantly.
Thank you for your much appreciated interest and support. You're great!

In fact, I do care about your butterflies. 🧡​🧡🧡
Although making it a scientific project you would need to count your monarch survivors. ​
It's always nice how you try to cheer me up!
You should be a little careful, because I also attended several courses on how to deal pedagogically with angry people and immediately notice when someone talks to me like I'm a sick dog.
So, I gave back the favour and just bumped your thread with your monarch photos.

OP NZer 2023
Yep, many people already called me an
"evil dragon"
and that's anything else than a comliment here.
Perhaps because of historical reasons… ​​​​​

…or just because my eyes are green.
Relax, I'm not angry right now (laughing ), and sincerely and with sympathy wish you:
Happy Weekend!

Hey, please post some new photos of your fosterlings. Ideally, a video of your monarchs hatching. ​ ​

I hate the whole idea of 'whaling', but that sure was an interesting symbiotic relationship between Orcas and humans - ruined by the humans who couldn't keep quiet about it. Old Thom swimming with dolphins is amazing too because Orcas eat dolphins. You post some really interesting stuff!
Btw. I've 'grown' about 35 monarch butterflies this Spring. I brought the caterpillars inside as soon as I found them to save them from the wasps. Only 4 chrysalises left now and one of them will pop today.

Well, the whalers from Eden carelessly didn't give Old Tom his share of the catch (whale tongue) and in the ensuing
'argument'
even broke 1-2 of his teeth, which led to his death 7 years later. This finally broke the pact
"Law of Tongue"
and humans never hunted alongside orcas again.
The monarchs are good news! And a cute GIF. 🧡

Ok ok, after producing countless bad cat videos (only one ear or fleeting shadows to see ),
I dignify good animal videos even more, means, I don't really expect an NZer monarch video.

Old Thom is not to be confused with late Old Tom.

Eden Old Tom Museum
Old Tom (ca. 1895 – September 17, 1930) was known to whalers in the port of Eden, New South Wales, on the southeast coast of Australia. Old Tom measured 22 feet (6.7 m) and weighed 6 tons, with a 3.33 feet (1 m) skull and teeth about 5.31 inches (13.4 cm) long.
That makes Old Tom a smaller male orca, and at age 35 he even died untimely.
Orcas can become 50-90 years old.
By (carelessly) betraying Old Tom, the people of Eden expelled themselves from Paradise.
People broke the
Law of Tongue
…so sad, and so meaningful.
Bye-bye!

The Killer Whales of Eden, told by Family and Eyewitnesses.
This was a segment of an experimental, very unfinished rough 2002 edit from a Documentary I started with colleague Matthew Duchesne that eventually led to the ABC doco "Killers in Eden". Key to the projects was whaling descendant Rene Davidson who helped me with family introductions in the 1980s and mid 1990s.
In my language a
"Killer Whale"
or Orca is a
"Sword Whale"
. ️​​
Because the orca dorsal fin looks like a large sword, especially male dorsal fins.

Good morning, Dane, you old Tommy! ​
Do you just expand your knowledge or ask for the next slap?

This made me think of Beowolf.
Yah, good idea…there are similarities (no joke).
Please watch the video, food for thought.
