Lessons from my dog that I should probably apply to myself: When she is acting out, it means she needs a snack, exercise, mental stimulation or a nap.

Today's coffee-break sketch. I was doodling a Mandarin orange segment and was struck by how similar the forms are to beetle larvae! As usual, drawn with a Traveler's Co. fountain pen with Platinum sepia and carbon ink on a Lochby pocket notebook. #PenAndInk #drawing #sketch #traditionalArt

Current work goals: fixing issues of neglect in the invertebrate wet collection by sorting out dehydrated specimens to be stored safely in their present state, replacing deteriorated and poor-quality vessels, topping off or completely replacing ethanol, and adding thermal data labels to every jar.

After being in charge of organizing and unpacking all of it, the invertebrate wet collection is now my happy place.
