Insects communicate with humanity.

'consent in herbalism' is a discussion topic @sacredrelatives writes about, "plant consent being real."

Germany's capital had a wasp problem; the ants returned for me after I met Antinous at Open Space Arts; spider bound our seagull book that day.

Bugs are not appropriate ontologies for use in museums and galleries since their occurrence is a signification rather than iconography.

Some winged crawly dropped into my shirt on Sandburg Terrace, perhaps to permit my advertising the completion of a new bra.

Plants live without doctors' "nervous systems," the neurology integrating sense for movement. They know us like we do.

Shallots may have once been are no more appropriate really uncooked.

Kankakee Valley Homestead informs me two kinds of funk are parasitic with corn: one is mushroom, another toxic.

Illinois cucumbers are exciting this week and Michigan apricots fine at sample.

bugs lack cognitive-depth-perspective.

Mick Klug's grapes live up to the brand.

without insect life throughout our ecosystem, plants could be merely decorative and/or edible -- not lovable as they are now.

How are spiders tracing our enmeshments by their web?

Katerina Shukshina and Natasha Pickowicz; in Berlin I made a lovely cabbage-decorated savory lunch torte from a Cooking recipe...rumour has it, plants respond to human sound!

Geolocalized to Mallorca, Spain, three hours ago @yasminemei photographs there's a fig labeled "MWARI Palestina"

regarding shallots, farmers place allium like that out to 'cure' saying 'oxidation' draws flavor from the dying root's green into the bulb creating the astringent taste many beware when approaching styles of cooking.

It's possible the bugs will go away from us of their own accord.

My New Zealand kiwi have a date.

I found green beans in the fridge which must have appeared miraculously today since they are from a stand not a big-box outlet and was plating a burrito with my leftovers when Natalia walked in from outside with a Hulken tote-on-wheels of produce including eggplants, apples, and a watermelon. And a large buzzing fly perhaps following her in started circling around my fume of snarky thoughts as they evaporated.

Spectators of a praying mantis disclosed us standing on the anthill with it; on the perimeter I uncovered a stack of plastic cards like the Wisconsin Driver's License and insurance card, all stuck together and corroded by time with a couple ants marching along its edges.

Yesterday I cooked a plant for dinner; its bitterness to taste turned my stomach like a cleanse.

There was a millipede under the pan cover I had sorted away from communal counterspace for once but not the drawers with non-kosher pots requiring washing.

Its president was over my door after a spider latched darkly beyond the bathroom precipice.

Chicago Patchwork Farms documented two wasps pollinating? four hours after @ChrisSullivanAnimation; they say "ICE out of Chicago!!"

Grapes with seeds taste like candy!

It feels like a mosquito bit my left upper jawline while I was photographing vegetal sociality after luxuriating on how the shade meant I could without sunscreen or my hat.

I almost 35mm'ed a wasp on SuperKhanna's plate but my dining companion preferred to kill it.

"These Ants Found a Loophole for a Fundamental Rule of Life"

Two weeks ago I read tomatoes were going out of season but they haven't looked better all summmer than today.

Capsicum and allium were split by the breaking open of Pangaea?

I went to the kitchen inquiring for groundnuts but also needing to wash my hands; Sergey was already in there eating delicatessen with a moth fluttering overhead which he tried to kill and I exacted first with bare hands.

Given the consensus opinion about 'godtalk' being preferable to illiteracy, using the word "ugly" in reference to bugs is harmful.

Today I ended the lives of two spiders who were over my yoga mat where I started doing headstands again.

My ex had fresh lavender sachets (they were harvesting it by hand during mountain hikes) 'to repel moths'; Lavandería is "laundromat." If you were to acquire foodgrade rose petals, steeping them with lavender is okay. The infusion should double as bathwater (make extra), yet with combining into a sparkling water pool? The best prevention for moths is sustainability though I know the legend of Beglitzi and her Chiot seems luxurious to all us who are swept up in the romanticism of such a business-forward modern marriage happening centuries ago! Russian feminist-dystopian television would have me say 'enjoy chamomile responsible.'

Fresh soybeans boil quicker.

Traci Barkley from Sola Gratia Farm in Urbana says most of Illinois' corn and soybean crop isn't "fit for human consumption."

What if carnivorism was a lashing out at insects for using our plants

The banana plant from Smits Farm once recently toppled during a storm from an elevation someone else chose, but is recovering though not getting as much sun: soon it will move indoors.
