Plus: A bonobo tea party with imaginary juice, why older people laugh less, an ocean art installation in Western Australia, and a moth that looks exactly like a broken twig
"I wrote about this research not too long ago, but while hiking along the Portuguese coast, I came across a German hiker who recognized many of the footprints we stumbled upon."
Fascinating! Looking at WildTrack's website now 🐾
So appreciative of scientists and citizens watching for animal species thought extinct and now appearing among us.
Monarch numbers climbing is so encouraging. They receive help along the way from monarch lovers who set up waystations providing: sun, wind shelter, water, milkweed, goldenrod, abd flat stones. We're with you beautiful butterflies.
Europe and China know what's best. Go EV use!
Bonobo Kanzi's story reinforces the evidence that animals enjoy play.
Wonderful news about the Monarch butterflies! I love the illustration introducing today’s DNB. Even the tiny
Buff-tip moth is pictured!
The bonobo story of the tea party was fun to read about…
I find it very depressing that our government could be using as much as 2.3m barrels of oil per day (as measured in 2025) compared to saving those by switching to EVs. 47 has a mis-guided passion
for fossil fuels. That and his “war of choice” involving oil consumption worldwide is going backwards…
The Brits have always had a wonderful sense of ‘humour’! I enjoyed reading about it today. The sunflower 🌻 Ocean
I've seen plenty of what I think are Monarch butterflies on our farm in South Australia. Hopefully they are on their way back as we closer to winter ❤️
I'm off on a long-ish walk - won't see butterflies but I'm hoping for the birds to be out in force. Other wildlife would be lovely too, but I think I'm too late for beavers and deer.
Love tracking animal footprints and remember WildTracks - fascinating.
EV - another area the US are being left behind.
That Ocean Odyssey installation is beautiful - people are so creative.
I love moths. There very underrated. I'm now wondering how they are related to butterflies. Probably not that closely. Don't time for that rabbit hole - got a train to catch.
I love being an ‘elder.’ My body maybe slowing and I walk in a room and absolutely wonder what I am looking for, but give me a chance and I will ‘dry wit,’ wisecrack, and have a quick comeback politely(of course) with anyone.
Wonderful subjects today. Some made one think. Others were informative. Still others were reflections of beauty. And thanks for closing the day with things other than the reality we live in. 😊👍🏻✍️

Odyssey was simply beautiful😊
Agree on the British sense of humor. I grew up with that. I'd like to single out the Scottish sense of humor. That's wicked.
Tg my miaower likes my jokes.
And she's a tough audience, typical Glaswegian.
This made me laugh.
😽🏴
Good news
Fabulous, thank you

this is so wonderful to hear. I visited the Butterfly Museum in Phoenix, Arizona a few yrs ago. it was an awesome experience!
What a lovely post to wake up to.

Thanks for this.
All that you share is inspiring! You are inspiring! Thank you. 🙏🏼
I hope some of those wonderful Monarchs find their way to where I live. Haven’t seen one in a couple years.
Those Moths! Fascinating!
Thank you for another great Daybreak Notes and Beans.
Looking forward to the travel stories.

I am so happy about the Monarchs! I was worried about them.

Butterflies leaving the US? 😗
