Who doesn’t love a spider fungus story on a Friday? Ignoring The Last of Us nonsense it’s still pretty cool.

@JohnAltringham I was at my son’s secondary school today giving a talk for British science week about my path from GCSEs to career in scientific journal publishing. I was asked by the head of science to give a couple of highlights from my Biology degree at Leeds university. Couldn’t resist talking about a bat project I did at Malham Tarn over a couple of days, Late 1990s. Happy times.
Painterly morning at Corfe Castle...

The grave of Edward and Sarah Scholefield in Wardsend Cemetery, Hillsborough, Sheffield. Resembling something of a lost world and the home of a juicy ressurectionist scandal, Wardsend is one of my very favourite graveyards.
For many years I’ve had 2 historical electrotype plates I use to teach the history of stereotyping & electrotyping, but I’ve never actually pulled an impression of them—so today while listening in on a meeting I inked them up on the proofing press & just like that the pages appear, however many decades—a century plus?—since they were first printed
A moorland puddle, or an entrance to the underworld...
This is a trapdoor spider from the Foulden Maar fossil site in New Zealand. Spiders are incredibly rare as fossils but every now and then we get fantastic specimens (you can even see hairs on its legs!)

Very pleased with this #print of the #simurgh, I had a lot of fun with the border and the integument of the simurgh. I think I'll do a cormorant or dinosaur in this style next.

@newghoststories Big fan of Machen. #HillofDreams
#BOTD Arthur Machen. An author and occultist, Machen is a hugely influential figure in the development of weird fiction and folk horror. Stephen King described his story The Great God Pan as "Maybe the best [horror story] in the English language." Other works include The Three Imposters and The Bowmen, which created the legend of the Angel of Mons. #horror #arthurmachen #weirdfiction #folkhorror
Good to see that the #beavers are thriving on the #RiverOtter in #Devon. Lots of signs of activity like this. Hopefully I’ll even get to see the elusive creatures one day.
