The Polyphemus Moth, also known as the TARANTULA WITH WINGS (Antheraea polyphemus). It has to be from Australia, doesn't it?

I have never visited Australia and in all likelihood, having seen that picture, never will!

Just when you thought the Springfield Pet Massacre was a MAGA lie or the title of a really bad horror movie, Miss Sassy goes missing ...



Given the pinhead lady in question, I'm surprised Miss Sassy didn't seek asylum next door with the immigrants.

I'm starting to think that Trump isn't the only village idiot running in this election, looking at you Hillbilly Vance.

Two All Black Legends in the rugby museum early this week. One of them was a guest at my wedding.

Think one of them's Andy Leslie... is the other guy Allan Hewson?

Edit: Not Hewson - must be Bok?? No idea who, though.

Nah, you're right first up. Andy Leslie and Alan Hewson. I googled the image.

It was Hewson - my wife was a workmate with his wife. (I played cricket against him and he was a tosser)

I vaguely remember him playing a game in leggings once, but can't recall where or when. He was that slight you could easily imagine a brisk Welly wind would slice right though him.

Yes, I know it is likely photoshopped, but it made me chuckle.

Utterly magical. Imagine for a moment that the astronauts had never heard of the northern lights or seen any videos taken from the ground. The sights in that video would have been gobsmacking.

seeing the northern lights with the naked eye has been one of the most underwhelming bucket list items ever for me - you basically don't see much until you point a camera at it.

Anyone see Steve last night?

Steve - or to give it its full name, Strong Thermal Emission Velocity Enhancement - is unpredictable and only lasts for a short amount of time.
Little is known about its formation and why it can sometimes appear during an aurora display.
While Steve is only spotted in the presence of an aurora, it is not a normal aurora as scientists suggests it comprises of a fast-moving stream of extremely hot particles called a sub-auroral ion drift, or SAID.

On two occasions in the distant past, I've seen them and I can still recall how magical they were... but they looked nothing like what has been seen lately. But maybe it was to do with it being -30 degrees both times, the kind of temp that makes snow 'crunchy'.
