Shaky footage but here's a few seconds of a Bristly Millipede (Polyxenus lagurus) gliding across a lichen covered wall at Hethel church today.
I finally have something worth posting here! A new paper on wormsI never expected to see fossilised! Juracanthocephalus is the first body fossil of Acanthocephala and remarkably provides links with rotifers and other gnathiferans.

Thrilled to finally share our new paper on giant scorpions from the Early Devonian!

Can never decide whether itโs cooler that fleas are parasitic scorpionflies or that termites are eusocial cockroaches.
