Gave Raven, our Widow Jumper, a Wax moth today.
After chasing it enthusiastically round its enclosure said moth was caught.
Now it can’t decide where to actually park itself to eat such a huuuge meal.
LED lights cause an annoying flashing on the video but it’s still fun to watch.

Making the colours work wasn’t quite as easy as I’d hoped, but as it’s only my second attempt with colour and my 10th? ever piece of lace I’m happy with it.

Predicted cold weather means I’ve received a birthday present early.
A little colony of Porcellio hoffmannseggi, a.k.a. the Titan Isopod.
Here’s one of the males - likely not fully grown as they can reach up to 4cm making them possibly the largest terrestrial isopods on Earth.
Gods I love my wife.

Being so diddy, it’s hard to get decent pictures or video of Xiǎo Huā.
But here’s some ok video of it chomping on some fruit flies.
The one that trundled past has been got now too.
