Los Centrocnemidinae son una subfamilia de insectos con abdomen amplio, cuerpo plano y espinoso, hasta el punto que a veces hay ninfas que parecen infectadas por hongos, pero no, solo tienen púas y prolongaciones largas por todo el cuerpo. Viven siempre sobre las cortezas de los árboles, donde se camuflan. Este ejemplar es un Neocentrocnemis palawanica de Filipinas. 📷Albert Kang #insectos #insects

Are #Abortion Bans Across America Causing Deaths? The States That Passed Them Are Doing Little to Find Out.
—

The same political leaders who enacted abortion bans oversee the state committees that review maternal deaths. These committees haven’t tracked the laws’ impacts, and most haven’t finished examining cases from the year the bans went into effect.

putin’s Ukraine obsession began 20 years ago with the Orange Revolution

By Peter Dickinson

"putin’s desire to crush #Ukraine first began to take shape two decades ago as he watched the Ukrainian people defy their own authoritarian rulers and demand a democratic future."

Putin’s Ukraine obsession began 20 years ago with the Orange Revolution - Atlantic Council
