#bugs

Three times we rescue a tiny bat from our pool. First time, box to dry out in, water to drink, arrange for a vertical so #manbat can take off. He took off, got lost in the garden. Try again with box. He seems to have dried off and left. Nope: found him in the pool twenty minutes ago. Rescue, back to box... I go in pool to cool down: what this? the bat. Rescue third, time back in the box. Looks like he can climb out of the box on his own now. Bats in our backyard are common, swooping from tree to tree, searching for #bugs to eat. EAT THOSE BUGS. Never had to rescue one like that.

Playing with networked ladybugs in today's #inkyDays drawing. Here's an in-progress shot. The rest is now posted on my Patreon and Ko-fi: https://www.patreon.com/KristinHenry/posts/inkydays-july-162664874 https://ko-fi.com/Post/InkyDays-July-2026-N1J522FKWC #ink #drawing #art #wip #ladybug #bugs #SciArt

The first Monarch caterpillar made a chrysalis on a leaf, which is not ideal since it can wilt. I have read up on things and carefully detached it from the leaf by the silk and then tied some floss around the black stem, the cremaster, and rehung it in a better spot. Before, I admired its absolutely stunning beauty. It is amazing to me what nature is capable of. There is gold on there 😍 This is like jewelry. #bugs

"What’s important in landscaping with #insects in mind, or 'entoscaping,' is considering insects early and often when you visit the #garden store. "With a few pots or window boxes, even a balcony can be converted into a cozy insect oasis." #rewilding #ecology #gardening #plants #bugs #bees #nativeplants https://www.rewildingmag.com/how-and-why-to-welcome-insects-to-your-garden/

Any entomologists know what these are? Some sort of gnat-ish thingy is the best I've got. They all came out tonight and it's one huge orgy at the bug light. There are so many that it's hard to get close to take a photo since they fly into my nose and eyes. Blech. This is where I really wish I had a proper macro lens, especially since lots of these little fellers are differentiated by small details like wing venation. But maybe they're well known enough that someone can ID them? Location is Southern Humboldt County, CA. #entomology #bugs #BugLightReport Since I'm finding this quite fun, I might use the Bug Light Report hashtag on all these posts the way I do Lizard Report. That way anyone who gets tired of daily lizard and bug pics can mute the hashtag.

Freaking heck, lots of rain followed by a week in the 90s and both the hostas and the dragon flies are downright Jurassic! Gimme back my beer! 🍺 #itsAlwaysStoutSeason #hostas #dragonFly #heat #bugs #beer

More stuff is happening at the little "bee hotel". Today, a wasp came and closed the hole in the one tube that a Sweat Bee opened. I am not sure what this wasp is. And now there are two working on one of the tubes I got from Bee Cups. I am also not sure what these are, bug people, speak up! Can anyone identify for me? (I slowed things down a bit for better viewing.) #bugs

Big butterfly on a sunflower. Good morning everyone ☕️ #gardening #bugs

Ok you three, is this really appropriate behavior for the middle of campus? (hard to tell the scale from the photos but these are the local "large" beetles, probably a good 2.5 cm long) #Bugs #Beetles

NOTUS: The Federal Government’s Insect-Defense Agency Is Infested With Bed Bugs "...The bugs were found in the building that houses the Animal and Plant Inspection Service, the agency responsible for containing and mitigating the spread of invasive pests in the U.S. The irony, one USDA employee said, “was lost on no one.”..." https://www.notus.org/policy/usda-bed-bugs-infestation #aphis #infestation #usda #bugs

Blessed May Eve and/or start of Beltane! May the light time of the year bring you warmth and serenity. Let our spirits flourish with the flowers. 💚 #pagan #witch #butterfly #Bloomscrolling #nature #bugs

Found the culprit! It was the max_id parameter in /api/v1/timeline/api/v1/timelines/home endpoint.

The code inside Tokodon is as follows:

// maintimelinemodel.cpp

if (!fromId.isEmpty() && !query.hasQueryItem(QStringLiteral("max_id"))) {
        // TODO: this is an *upper bound* so it always is one less than the last post we read
        // is this really how it's supposed to work wrt read markers?
        query.addQueryItem(QStringLiteral("max_id"), fromId);
    }

This code can be searched via max_id keyword. You need to comment out the query.addQueryItem line and Tokodon will work just fine.

I think this is a BUG for the following reasons:

1. max_id invalidation failure
2. Lack of retry logic w/o this query item when we know API response (data variable) is empty.
3. When user logged out, all such data should be deleted as well. A full logout from the app should've reset this data.

A part of me thinks this info was sent by Mastodon server as part of my account info.

This was a fun bug to track though :)
