Octopus by Ulisse Aldrovandi, Animali, vol 4,16th century. Watercolor. Collection: Universita di Bologna. #art #octopus #animals #collections

An overcast day, but a sense of wide-open freedom against a backdrop of ancient glacial stone, scarred & roughly hewn into ground & hills.
A splash of whiskey in the flask of coffee & a thick wedge of birthday gingerbread by the clapper bridge over Austwick Beck. Another turn around the sun!

Oh for the love of #flies it’s #TaxonomyTuesday

These amazing females are Clitelloxenia assmuthi & these #Phorids are termitophilous - they live with, & some feed on, termites

This is one of the 190 recorded termitophilous & other termite-associated Phorids - one of the most ecologically diverse family of animals on the planet!

Out and about for #SilentSunday

Hawa Mahal - which means the breezy palace, in #Jaipur - the Pink City of India. There are almost 1000 windows here apparently. #FensterFreitag #WindowFriday

Born #onthisday in Wisconsin in 1868, the US photographer and ethnologist Edward S. Curtis. Here's his circa 1914 series depicting the ceremonial dress and masks of the Kwakwaka’wakw, an indigenous people of the Pacific Northwest Coast — https://buff.ly/39BjsLO #photography

teeny tiny morning on the foreshore. the usual pins, anglets, and anlage seals. and oh I do like finding a bit of lead type. imagine a lazy typesetter surreptitiously tossing type into the river rather than dissing it back into the case. #mudlarking

found on the Thames foreshore this morning: a beautiful bone die with crisp carved dot-in-circle pips, typical of dice of the Roman period, 100-200 AD. #mudlarking

So today this very exciting thing happened. For the first time in my life I found some hair ice. I don’t even know what hashtag to use!!! It’s caused by a fungi so adding those tags 😉

My first foray into #mosstodon ! This is in the #rspb Insh Marches near Kingussie #scotland. Sadly no little #birds flew in or out but boy is there a lot of moss!

I don’t prefer realistic depictions of #Cryptids — in my mind, they’re best embodied by amateurish ink sketches on yellow photocopied paper. Gene Duplantier’s depiction of #Mothman is just… perfection. I especially love that it looks like a modified Great Horned Owl!
