Happy Friday! Here's some more goodies from the naturalist collections of Leiden's Asian Library (without my silly commentary 😉). This is a series of (rather large!) illustrations of antlers and bones that were apparently found in a ditch in Kōzuke (Gunma today) in 1797. #AsiaLibLeiden

🤩 If you of your kids are into spiders, these new Royal Mail stamps beautifully illustrated by the master naturalist & artist Richard Lewington show off some of our finest British arachnids. I’ve added some brief info about each one. We have around 650 spider species here. What’s your favourite? 🧵

📷🍄gonna go back to the park later with my actual camera to take more pics of these gorgeous mushroom #fungifriends#mushrooms#pittsburgh#photography#naturalist

In his fascinating volume about John James Audubon, world-renowned naturalist-writer-illustrator Kenn Kaufman pays homage to the artist but meticulously dissects the man. #SEJournalBookShelfwww.sej.org/publications...
