I've tried to get shots of lacewings, they're very pretty beasts -- but it's a pain, they're small and made up of delicate detail. One of these days ...
Off topic, but it might be amusing to some of you to see this insanity:

What is this, a lame joke?

If so, they have their parody infesting Amazon. Not that this isn't unheard of.

On giving GALILEO WAS WRONG a check on Amazon.com, I couldn't help wondering if it was a Loki troll. However, Robert Sungenis has a Wikipedia page (OK, that doesn't rule out the con job angle) that describes him as not merely a geocentrist but also a borderline antisemite -- which side of the border he's on is arguable.
What got me puzzled was that "Sungenis" sounds like a modification of "Subgenius", but all details I can find on a quick inspection suggest he is for (using the term loosely) real.

Bandwidth limit to the GALILEO WAS WRONG site has been overloaded. I suspect this one's gone viral ... I keep hoping that was the intent.
Lacewing flies are such voracious predators that the female lays each egg on a separate stalk. It helps to prevent the first-hatched young from eating the others.

Just for the record, this photo is a holdover from last year's contest. We will post honorable mentions from the 2010 contest beginning next week.
