This is a great time to say you should support the Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation, a very excellent nonprofit.

The first insect-focused conservation group, receiving its first big donation from Edward Gorey who willed that they would keep receiving funds from his estate to this day!

I didn’t know that! And I’m a big fan of Edward Gorey. Thank you for the addition.
