people in the woods

Here’s my little thylacine figurines! I’ve just finished stringing a bunch. Theyre kind of BJDs (they’re smaller than the more articulated BJD thylas I posted the other day). I’ve just listed a few on my website: www.palaeoplushies.com

your primal instincts are not bathed in blood- they are layered in people telling stories to each other around a fire over and over and putting devices together through trial and error over and over and reaching for someone and something every moment of the way

This beautiful flower mantis was found in Nkutu Valley on Sunday. Experts said she looked like a pregnant female as you could see her broadening frilled edged belly beginning to extend sideways. She loves to hunt bees that visit the flowers of herbs such as purple and rose pelargonium, she sits at flowers and catches bees with her camouflage.

GETS you
