       This survey is easy! So is supporting invertebrate conservation. https://xerces.org/

       My most toxic trait is that it annoys me when conservation focuses on "cute" animals like large mammals. Whenever I have that feeling I send ten bucks to xerces as it's more constructive than being a grouch about pandas.

       @Stegosaurus If we cannot be free of spite we must find it a higher purpose.

       @futurebird Texas horned lizards, which rely almost entirely on declining red harvester ants as their food source, might send you a thank you note if they could.

       @futurebird i think i remember someone coining the term "charismatic megafauna" specifically to describe organizations using tigers and polarbears to market conservation efforts.

       @futurebird Actually not only delightful but even delicious.😮 In this case most likely a female #mulita, is it has "the mark of #Waicano", which is, if you look closely at the left flank when it's sharp and exposed, the scratches left of his teeth. When ever it was save, from the view point of not being seriously hurt, and always if it were females, @bitpickup released those fellaws when elWaica brought them to #laTapera, or where ever out there in the open he catched one.(btw, the distance to this tyrano saurus rex, from ant points of view I guess, was like 2 to 5 meters while filming. As you can see it caught "wind" but didn't't figure out the camera man)
