  1. Getting ready for deep sea month for #InverteFest. Needs more vampire squid I think! Hence, a new vampire squid (Vampyroteuthis infernalis, literally ‘vampire squid from hell’) block. These guys are much less threatening than they appear - they are only 30 cm long and feed on falling detritus or marine snow, not blood.

  2. For #SciArtSeptember day 2: battle, it’s my linocut of 2 dangerous invasive beauties & the battle against their spread in eastern North America, the spotted lanternfly & tree of heaven. The Tree of Heaven (Ailanthus altimissa) is a deciduous tree native to NE China & Taiwan, which was foolishly brought to Europe & NA in the 1700s where it as become known as a noxious weed & invasive plant. 🧵1/n
