Sunday Spinelessness - 2012
Alright, it's time to break out from the post-thesis/ Christmas holiday / summertime lethargy that this blog, and its writer, have sunk into and get properly started with 2012.
Following tradition*, I'll start the year with further proof that the lol-fauna of science blogs is entirely more diverse than that of any other corner of the internet. A nymph of the New Zealand praying mantis (Orthodera novaezealandiae or whē) eyeing up the photographer from an anemone leaf in my parents' garden (thanks to Rafael maia (@hylopsar) for the idea).
*Well, it's happened twice now.

Sunday Spinelessness - You don't know the trouble you're in
A scene from the garden. On the left, the New Zealand Praying Mantis Orthodera novaezealandiae. On the right, a hover-fly that doesn't know how much trouble it's in.
(for those interested in the final result: the hover-fly flew off; the mantis lunged, but missed)
