lies:
In which I see if I can make you nauseous with video of a green leaf beetle (Trirhabda flavolimbata) crawling around on a mostly-defoliated coyote brush plant (Baccharis pilularis) at the Carpinteria salt marsh. The beetles have been having an outbreak at the marsh for the last few months.
I think they’re cute, but even if you agree about that there’s still a chance of nausea due to my extremely poor cinematography, especially after I mounted the macro attachment to the iPhone and things got really shaky.
You can read more about these cute beetles (including blessedly stationary images) in the post I made earlier today.
