If you are a SeaweedPhreak then you'll need to toast Lily Newton today. It's her 125th birthday.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lily_Newton
I don't think she is well known outside the UK but her book is in the possession of every Phycologist I know.
A few green seaweeds then, easy to exploit and photograph but not easy to describe and annotate in fine detail - THAT is what her book is about, fine detail.
Published in 1931 and getting rare.
EDIT 27/01/19 - reordered pictures.

Asian Lady Beetle (Harmonia axyridis)Observer
cmeckermanDescription
I remember finding these asian lady beetles in my garage. They had started being a problem the year before but started to occur in large numbers this year. This was after the crop harvest so that all started getting into their hibernation groups. There were two groups of them in the garage and they were behind and under boards.

Green goo sitting in stagnant pools on Mount Desert Rock. It bubbles and smells bad - I about like sour sulfur. Covers the tops of the pools but does not continue past the surface of the water. Any ideas?!
