Picture of the day

The oak eggar (Lasiocampa quercus) is a common moth in the family Lasiocampidae found in Europe and northern and western parts of Asia. The larvae feed on a wide variety of plant species, low down, including blackthorn, hawthorn, viburnum, dogwood, ivy and ling, but are not known to feed on oak. They can be infected by baculoviruses, which change their behaviour and cause them to climb out of the protection of low scrub and leave them open to predation, facilitating the spread of infection. Oak eggar larvae eventually pupate on the ground inside a silken cocoon, the exterior of which is hard and yellowish, and resembles an acorn, from which the common name "oak eggar" is derived. This oak eggar larva in the form of a fourth-instar caterpillar, with a body length of 53 millimetres (2.1 inches), was photographed on a branch in Keila, Estonia. The photograph was focus-stacked from 59 separate images.Photograph credit: Ivar Leidus

iff vs. if

Hi there, I just wanted to let you know while it's a very good thing you're watching out for spelling mistakes, "iff" is actually the correct word in articles like unfoldable cardinal - it's a word used mainly by mathematicians that means "if and only if". ^^ -- Schneelocke (cheeks clone) [[]] 15:09, 26 Dec 2004 (UTC)

A 2001 edit

Hello, I'm going through usernames in the August 2001 database dump, trying to match them up to edits from that time where possible. I've found an edit under your username that I was able to import. I hope that was you ... if you're sure it wasn't, I could have the edit re-attributed. Graham87 (talk) 08:52, 25 January 2025 (UTC)

Hi. Yes, that would have probably been one of my very first edits after seeing the original wikipedia announcement on Slashdot, I think it was. I do remember making it. Sillydragon (talk) 18:33, 25 January 2025 (UTC)
