Thought I'd test my reflexes today, Barn Swallows were flying low over the saltmarsh on the Duddon Estuary. Pleased to get this juvenile feeding up before the long journey South.

A little squid-man pearl diver based on early @cephalopods and @ammonites. I'd like to incorporate him into a @shadowdark campaign.

Greetings, chordate comrades. #InverteFest is officially here. 

We invite you to nerd out about invertebrates for an entire week on whichever platform you're on. Feel free to reupload this image to spread the word!

Can't find critters in the wild?
Show us:
- Your pet snail
- Your Vivillon collection
- That scifi book about sentient clams
- Your OC based on a parasitic nematode
- That game where you played as a crab with a sword

Feel free to come up with your own idea, we don't gatekeep fun!

Jumping spiders are illegally cute.

some male jumping spider pat the female on the head ever so carefully during a mating dance. Just little pats. (sp Maratus tasmanicus, photo by J. Otto flickr.com/photos/59431731@N05)

This species cares for their young.

(2nd photo from peacockspider.org/maratus-jact)

Also, that's what they look like when they are little.

(well they are always little)

@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.
