Ancient word of the day: Hedgehog
The ancient word for today is hedgehog Erinaceus europaeus. In the Middle Ages, writers didn’t make reference to hedgehogs, but to urchins. This term for the spiky diminuitive animal is still favoured in some English dialects. We still have the lingering remnants of this etymology in the form of sea urchin, which is literally a sea hedgehog.
The word urchin came to England with the Norman invasion and was derived from the Latin word ericius. Before the Norman conquest, the animal was known by the Anglo-Saxon name Igl.
Other names
Furze-pig – Devon
Hotchi-witchi – Romani
Hodmedods – Norfolk
Ouriço cacheiro – crafty pig
Detail of a miniature of hedgehogs sticking fallen fruit to their quills and carrying it back to their burrow; from the Rochester Bestiary, England (Rochester?), c. 1230, Royal MS 12 F. xiii, f. 45r.
or porco espinho’ – spiky pig in Portuguese”Thorns shall grow in their palaces, nettles & thistles in their strongholds … there shall the hedgehog build, dig, be there at home and bring forth his young ones.” Taverner’s Isiah 34, 1539.
Detail of a miniature of the hedgehog reproaching the goat for his vanity; from Ulrich von Pottenstein, Spiegel der Weisheit, Austria (Salzburg), c. 1430, Egerton MS 1121, f. 44v.The hedgehog was a symbol of Christian humility
The Speculum sapientiae, or Mirror of Wisdom is an ancient tale of beasts in Latin. In one tale, a passing goat sees its reflection in a pond and declares himself very handsome indeed. A hedgehog trundles along afterwards and reproaches the goat telling him that profound humility, not vain boasting are what makes animals truly noble.
Detail of a miniature of a hedgehog; from Jean de Wavrin, Recueil des croniques d’Engleterre, vol. 1, Netherlands (Bruges), 1471-1483, Royal MS 15 E. iv, f. 180r.Read more: The British Library Digitised Manusripts

One of our spiky friends paid us another visit. He was making a horrendous mess of things 😅
Also, he got startled when I moved, so he sat still to assess the danger level. I reflexively said "sorry" which caused him to actually run away. Whoops. 🫣

Oh wow. As if this evening's grasshopper wildlife wasn't enough, on the way back from a late night stroll around the block I found this lovely wonderful hedgehog snuffling away on the front lawn under my pear trees. I *LOVE* hedgehogs. What a beauty - snuffle away, eat my fallen proto-pears and anything else takes your fancy, welcome to the garden! :)

First encounter with a (non-dead) wild #hedgehog at an age of 8.5

First, they take your food. Then they take your cave, and shit in your bed.
And Lenny, my cat? He's just looking instead of defending. 🤷♂️

New neighbor moved in... 😍 Seconds earlier they were furiously scratching themselves, the little leg still out...

It’s been a while I’ve seen a #hedgehog in my garden (two years ago I think) but I heard something shuffle in front of the house and there it was, freezing as soon as it noticed me 😬
Go eat all the 🐌 boi.

Petite visite du soir.
Pour le moment, on en a dénombré 4 différents (facile, ils étaient à 20 cm les uns des autres), mais on soupçonne qu'il y en ait deux de plus également.
Notre jardin, c'est la boîte de nuit et le supermarché pour eux, on a le droit aux accouplements mais aucun n'a décidé de s'y installer pour hiberner (malgré la cabane à hérissons qui reste vide depuis des années, enfin, les araignées l'aiment bien, elles). -
Dave, the #hedgehog 🦔 who visits my garden, has just turned up for his dinner.
In the dark, it's a very audible experience.
Crackling footsteps across the dry, parched grass, followed by the crunching of teeth on hedgehog biscuits. He's a hungry lad.
If you have wildlife that visits you, don't forget to also put out some fresh water daily in these hot summer conditions. Dave says thank you 🙂

This guy casually rocked up and started munching, two feet away from where I'm sitting. At this rate he'll be on my lap begging for scritches by next week 🤣
He runs off when I make big or sudden moves but he also comes back within a minute or so. Lil weirdo 😅

💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🦔🔬 Researchers collected 189 #hedgehog feces samples across the #UK and found #microplastics in 19% of them.
To trace the source, they tested nearly 40 brands of pet food at different price points and found #plastic in 29 of 38 products, with value-priced foods containing the most. Dry food had more plastic per gram, but because #animals eat larger portions of wet food, a large #dog could ingest over 300 microplastic particles per day.
