Recording palms in the wind at 176KHz 24bit, ir order to drastically pitch them down later and then use the slowed down transients for #percussion works. Soothing already, few flute-sounding birds calling along.. #mauritius @contemporaryMusic group

There is a species of water beetle that regularly gets swallowed whole by frogs. And while there’s a lot of things you can do to keep from being eaten, once you’re inside a frog, your options are severely limited. Generally you get digested. But this <br />particular species of beetle said “You know, I bet there’s another way.” And it started walking. In fact, it walked through the frog’s digestive tract and out the back end. This is 100% true, you can look it up. 19 out of 20 of these beetles will <br />simply walk out of the frog, unharmed. It usually takes them about an hour, although one beetle speed-ran the frog in five minutes, which I’m sure was very exciting for the frog. The moral of this story, if there is one, is that no matter how dark the <br />situation, there is always a way through. And there’s always a light at the end of the frog.

Surprises in the garden: a peppered moth, Biston betularia. It appears just like a piece of a branch of a birch tree.

Wings? Hm. I may be mistaken, but I believe that "spinning" is what we refer to in Swedish. As in spinning yarn.

Spannen (Dutch) might point to the max messure of the wings. Spinner is used for Sailboats but Spinnen is a spider or an insect that is spinning a cocoon :-)
