Speaking of Namib Desert, yesterday I was in a nature museum and saw the Namib beetle, the fog collector beetle! I love nature, and I am seriously thinking of changing careers completely away from technology and getting into a nature-related field, or at least something to use my technology background but spend most of the day with animals and in nature. I just don't know the whats and hows of that change yet. I would definitely take a job even if it's not paying that much in that direction if I found one in a heartbeat! | ||

Fun thing about these beetles is they do their territory call by knocking their abdomen against rocks or hard surfaces making a distinct TokTok sound. As kids we used to have great fun knocking rocks together around sunset to get them to call back. Kinda like beetle bird calls. |
