Wait. Turn around, you woolly...

And the alder is opening up.

We will get woolly mammoths back.

By the way, the aphid tries to escape.

As you can see, there's an aphid fly there.

If you ask me, Divination's a very woolly discipline.

And here is the stream, and the aspen and the alder and the willow.

In the 1950s, a small organism appeared in Richmond, Virginia, called the Hemlock woolly adelgid.

This is the visual result of a dead aphid encompassing inside, a developing parasitoid that, after a few minutes, you see halfway out.

logs together with a birch withe, and then, with a longer birch or alder which had a hook at the end, dragged them across.

And after a few days, depending upon temperature, the egg will hatch and the larva of this parasite will eat the aphid from the inside.

She stands vis à vis in front of the victim at the right hand side, bending its abdomen and inserting a single egg into the body fluids of the aphid.

She kicks and bites and secretes different liquids, but nothing will happen, in fact only the egg of the parasitoid will be inserted into the body fluids of the aphid.

Then they present all of the stuff that they've developed to their teammates, to the rest of the company, in this wild and woolly all hands meeting at the end of the day.

We have now discovered that there is a multi directional transfer of nutrients between plants, mitigated by the mcyelium so the mycelium is the mother that is giving nutrients from alder and birch trees to hemlocks, cedars and Douglas firs.

You can do the same thing, as the costs come down, for the Carolina parakeet, for the great auk, for the heath hen, for the ivory billed woodpecker, for the Eskimo curlew, for the Caribbean monk seal, for the woolly mammoth.
