Yes, all spiders originated from a puddle in Oxford.

Is it a bit too tin-foil-hat of me to think that measures like this are in anticipation of the societal collapse that's likely when the impacts of climate breakdown (food running out etc) are truly felt?

What a surprise that the very worst parties represent the largest pro-war contingents. I'm shocked.

All spiderlings are born with a large appendix, but quickly shed it due to peer pressure.

Beetles have been around since before flowers
They were already thriving 100 million years before the first bloom. When flowers finally evolved, beetles were among the first pollinators.

Great point! I stuck some googly eyes on my microwave and it's now sentient, so I completely understand where you're coming from.

It's criminal watching how fatigued everyone is when so many on the bench have barely played. Arteta's use of 'the deepest squad in the league' is abysmal.

I can see why - I'd loce to draw one in the future. I'm a sucker for any kind of insect mimicry.

Living in a world where awful people make terrible decisions based on nonsense is quite tiring, isn't it?

This time last year I was enjoying the incredible wildlife Cancun had to offer. I still think about that holiday most days!

Polka dot wasp Syntomeida epilais showing a moth with wings outstretched.  The wings are metallic black with green and blue highlights.  There are 5 large white spots of each set of wings, and also on the furry body.  The terminal abdominal segments are a striking rusty scarlet.  Legs are black with white tarsi, and the tips of the black antennae are also white.  Watercolour #sciart #naturalscienceillustration completed by hand.

This is the Polka dot wasp #moth #Syntomeida epilais, also known as the #Oleander moth (on which its yellow caterpillars with their long black setae feed voraciously). Completed for the National Trust of #Montserrat, & UKOTCF. It's used in a colouring book, in a section about patterns in nature.

Reform win a seat: The true Volk have spoken and we all must listen.

Greens win a seat: Early reports that Muslims may have β€˜voted’ (an ancient Islamic practice designed to steal elections). How severely should the franchise be limited in response?

100%! I'm still livvid that they let you brick your device with no ability to revert.

For context, the iPad was about 7 years old, and the new OS was likely a bridge too far.

What a month. 0 sales, plus I updated the OS on my iPad and it kept crashing so much that I had to buy a new one. I am very, very lucky that slowly drawing bugs is merely a hobby.

Folks, I have a solution: no-one is allowed to hold power once they reach 50. Decisions need to be made by young people who will live through the consequences, not deranged old men who only care about their legacy.
