   A tiny little bug was hanging out on my calipers. Small but fearsome looking.

     I'm going to have to move mastodon instances. That usually presages the service grinding to a halt for a couple of days.

     @botvolution When we do media training for faculty members at work, one of the things we tell them is that if they are making an important point, they should state it three times. I applaud you for practicing that

     @botvolution There's definitely a strong resemblance. I would have thought the same, except ladybug larvae are always bright orange and black around here

     You're probably better placed to know your local arthropods than I am.
