Ok mastodon, here is a hard truth: Never quote or comment on something without citing the item in question.

Basically don't be like the #climate deniers who just say the data for their graph is on NOAA. Or like the #lgbtq haters who cite spurious heath stats from "The WHO". Or anything like that, we need to do better by showing where, when, how, and why. With sources.

Because, how can we trust what you know until we know how you know?

To be a predator of a social species such as ants or humans you must not raise alarm. A hoverfly, tricks ants into keeping their larvae. It grows to a monstrous size, discretely feeding on ant larvae. The ants are unable to see it as a threat. Larvae simply disappear.

With our excellent vision the deception is obvious. But, what is also obvious is that the creatures that take advantage of humans would be just as invisible.

Sometimes... people just go missing? Right?

Woah! Hold on. That lab equipment was in perfect working order when I was done with it. Don't put that blame on this gen Xer.
