  1. #InverteFest Directly from my #wunderkammer! A veritable #bookworm in all phases of life. This Helluo librorum was found in a French private #library and prepared by a #museum employee.

    The larvae are exceptionally shy of light. Studies by the Page Institute for Global Lignine Research show: Imagines are extremely rare, they only develop with adequate reading. Feeding alternative: #Brain #orchids.

  2. On our window, this afternoon. Possibly an early hatching wasp, emerging from either our potted Christmas tree, or from outside—temperatures have been rather high, as in early Spring. Alas its fate is likely sealed by the absence of flowering plants.
