One of my favourite display cases in the new #Insectarium of #Montréal . The #beetles are so beautiful!
It took countless hours by the #entomology technicians to pin the specimens and to create this masterpiece. The other display cases are just as impressive :)

Kirby's 1802 book titled Monographia Apum Angliae (A Monograph of the #Bees in England), attributes the name of the bee to the Rev. Goodenough with the following Latin explanation:
A viro Reverendo S. Goodenough, LL. D. Ca¬nonico Windsoriensi, Botanico summo tum et in Entomologia lynceo, nomen suum haec Apis mutuatur.
…roughly translated as:
This bee is named after the Reverend Samuel Goodenough, LL. D. Canon of Windsor, Chief Botanist of the time and in #entomology very sharp-sighted.

F&S werkten er zelf een jaar of vijf #DWDD (NRC, di, 22-11-22)

Behalve een kritische noot over de #stikstof special van @nrc_nl past ook een compliment. De portretten van de boswachters zijn zeer verhelderend en, belangrijker, er staat ook een goed stuk in over de gezondheidseffecten. Dat krijgt nog veel te weinig aandacht.

Sommige mensen wens je toe dat de airco uitvalt

Figured I should explain this here in case folk are wondering why my finger is often in my photos - I have scale bars tattooed on my index fingers, the lines and dots are 5mm apart and they’re super useful for quick field photos 😅 Demonstrated here with some gorgeous crinoidal limestone from Fife 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

The strange magic fountain pen.

A reservoir connected by wormhole to a bizarre improbable planet, a long forgotten world with a hidden history, the planet covered almost entirely in a sea of useable writing ink.

The air is still on the ink planet, the surface of the seas like obsidian traced with rivulets of starlight.

When the water caps or ripples it catches the light of a distant sun: blue-black dark waves stain the ancient shores.

You can write forever when you draw from an ocean.
