Thank you for the fun Microscopy Monday! We chatted amber science and preservation while identifying 30 myo ants, midges, water, and more! Thank you @oldmansethus.bsky.social @d_tector008 @goblingaimz.bsky.social @rachelbanner @KenseiXero for the raids! We passed the love to @ultrasaurus.ca !

Yes, I’ve read about this project and the artefacts were lost on the ice patch during reindeer hunting and then buried by accumulated snow. Reindeer head to the ice patch during the summer months to avoid irritating midges lower down the mountains

Back to Spurn. Visible Migration is a joy and here's a Wheater preparing to fly. Ended the day at Beacon Ponds... pleased to see Bar-tailed Godwit and Sanderling; two more to add to my year list. Had to leave at 8pm to escape the midges 🦟 #birding

Hi there. I’m Old World Dome Sheetweaver. If you’re like me, you might still yearn for the old country back in Europe. The culture, the pace of life, the tasty midges. If so, let’s chat. I’d love to share a web hammock and reminisce
