It's #Easter Sunday! 🌱

No cute bunnies or lambs in my files, I'm afraid. But I do have a *lot* of queer chickens. 🥚🏳️‍🌈🐤 :transgender: 🐔

Here's a domestic hen with male plumage, described in the Memoirs of the Wernerian Natural History Society in 1821.

Happy #InternationalWomensDay! 👩‍🔬💜

Working on my forthcoming book, finding out about English suffragist and naturalist Lydia Ernestine Becker was a revelation. In 1869, she made an inclusive, science-based case for women's rights. Just awesome! 🤩

Happy #ValentinesDay! 🐌❤️🐌

Delightful, if fanciful, depiction of garden snails exchanging love darts. By English artist Frederick Polydore Nodder and published in the Naturalist’s Miscellany in 1790. [The darts don’t propel through the air as the image depicts but are fired on contact.]

'all nature is perverse & will not do as I wish it'
- Charles Darwin, 7 May 1855

Poor ol' Chas.

It's #DarwinDay! 🦋🐵🐟

Here's an unsung hero in Darwin's queer menagerie, Serranus cabrilla. It proved that vertebrate species could be hermaphrodite. That made Chas happy!

This lovely fish will have a starring role in my book . . . 🏳️‍🌈 📚
