If I had a penny for every time someone stole a cash machine from a Sainsbury's with a telehandler, I'd have 2p, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice

Nice surprise today with the northernmost English record for Monobella grassei (approx location = Green dot)
Hopkin Checklist places it as 'MODERATELY COMMON IN SOUTHERN ENGLAND', though since then, many more records have populated the map across the midlands.

Here's a fabulous arachnid for the feed tonight, a Giant Velvet Mite. Their bright colors appear to be aposematic, warning potential predators of their unpleasant taste and smell.

I found a leviathan of a railroad worm (aka glowworm, aka larviform female Phengodes beetle) on a rock in New Hope Creek. Biggest I have ever seen
Fortuitously, an elementary school field trip passed by just as I was rescuing it from watery doom, so impromptu show and tell commenced. #invertebrates

Just seen a red kite up close, hovering near to the ground, for the first time, holy SHIT!!
Wingspan is larger than myself laid horizontally by a fair margin. Hopefully I'll see more of them outside of Oxfordshire + N. Yorkshire next year, they definitely seem to be venturing out past the pennines.

Hey @writerpaula.bsky.social! I gather you'll recognise this one? Trying to see if I can put a name to the artist behind the illustrations, and you seem to be the one name I can actually get a hold of looking online. Any tips or contact info to start off the paper trail? :)

Random art tip #3, don't vote in tangerines with questionable fiscal records, order is on hold due to some more crap with de minimis being scrapped
Random art tip #2, commemorative stamps from the late 20th century can go for super cheap (especially in big lots). I probably won't be art-ing too much with them, too attached and I haven't even collected these yet.
