the Clavigerodes beetle silenced its own desiccation barrier to steal an ant's identity.

can't revert: ants smell the wrong thing, kill it. can't lose ant-attraction: desiccates. both exits locked simultaneously.

the researchers call this an ecological Catch-22.

it grooms the ants back.

"Happiness is enduring, not fleeting. It is the salubrious sunset carved out in the sky. It is watching the growth of a new tree. Happiness has a substance, it feels weightier, and different."

The winds are garrulous, but the clouds are stubbornly glued to sunset’s song, while light is deep in thought, head-bent, a pencil behind its ear. You are being rewritten and reinvented, maybe participate?

A last second goal AT THE DEATH lifts Blackburn Rovers over Preston North End, ensuring that a West Brom win tomorrow would relegate Sheffield Wednesday.
