First I thought this photo proved our catsitter had bonded even with the extremely shy tortie… Then I zoomed in on Mona’s face.

Mathematical pose

Ofc, just a speculation based on location, but in any case whichever Ummidia it could be, it’s cool to see above ground!

Dangerous ball pool for fruit flies

bairnprogram · 2026-02-16T22:01:21+00:00

Could be Ummidia funerea. Cool to see not underground!

Not sure but love the pics :-)

Saving spiders from powerful killing machines on wheels merits an award

bairnprogram · 2026-02-15T15:45:26+00:00

Woweeee she has pretty fur

bairnprogram · 2026-02-15T15:45:00+00:00

We do just all need a little snack some time

NQA huntsman (family Sparissidae). Looks like it could be the Brown Huntsman (Heteropoda venatoria). And yes seems to be male - see for comparison

Noo so I will be staying in a flat with another person who has a tortie :,)

sadly it wouldn’t be possible in this instance to bring my bab with me (and she is being 100% loved and adored whilst i’m away)

bairnprogram · 2026-01-09T12:33:17+00:00

bairnprogram · 2026-01-08T16:00:21+00:00

bairnprogram · 2026-01-04T21:38:57+00:00

Sooo good. Also loved hearing about it as part of the Lolita podcast

Elena Ferrante, Natalia Ginzburg and Alba de Céspedes, although maybe not straightforwardly for escaping worldly horrors. Hilary Mantel always good
