I hope this is something that brings you delight today. A few months ago someone asked me for advice on designing homes for their solar punk story. This little guy came to mind.

Introducing the bagworm moth, family Psychidae. In its caterpillar/larvae stage, it starts to build a tower on their back. They can make their homes not just out of twigs, but also sand, soil, or lichen. The unique "cases" are important for identifying the species.

Native to North America, bagworm moths serve an ecological role of defoliators. Yep, they eat up all the leafies. Thus, they get a bad reputation, like bark beetles (who make some very beautiful tunnels to look at), because they're considered pests where the natural ecosystem has not been allowed to adapt.

Bagworm moth species, of which there are over 1000, also contain many where the female moths do not have wings, and the eggshells are hard enough to remain intact even if digested (to support dispersal).

Here's a video of a bagworm moth coming out to eat https://piped.kavin.rocks/watch?v=oPb6sCba_js

> The PSP's web browser is - charitably - pathetic. It is slow, frequently runs out of memory, and can only open 3 tabs at a time... But the GOV.UK pages are written in simple HTML. They are designed to be lightweight and will work even on rubbish browsers. They have to. This is for everyone...
> Are you developing public services? Or a system that people might access when they're in desperate need of help? Plain HTML works. A small bit of simple CSS will make look decent. JavaScript is probably unnecessary - but can be used to progressively enhance stuff. Add alt text to images so people paying per MB can understand what the images are for (and, you know, accessibility).

Today I went into the woods and I saw a lot of mushrooms. So it's a good day thank you.

I also saw a lot of trametes gibbosa, turkeytail, schyzophyllum commune, and potentially king Alfred's cakes.
