Our Rhino!
The European rhinoceros beetle, named for the horn-like projection on its head, can grow to an impressive length of 60–100 mm, with its size largely dependent on the quality and abundance of its food. These beetles thrive in wood, with their large larvae commonly found in rotting wood stumps. Interestingly, when disturbed, these beetles produce a distinct hissing sound that many find surprisingly loud for such a small creature...

Stupidly early start today but I've managed to finalise our updated antibiotic guidance before clinic, which is a huge weight off my mind.

Overheard in passing in the lab just now:

"...then you strip naked and dance around the fire six times widdershins..."

Today was an exciting day for me when I woke up! First time I've ever been able to document a molt and it seems to have gone smoothly as well. Even have a fully intact molt for the jar 💚 🦂: Pandinopsis dictator- Dictator Scorpion #Bugs #arthropods #arachnids #buglife #scorpion #invertebrates

I try so hard and work to the best of my ability. I've been trying hard to stress less, rest more, and be a good adult, and it's paying off #student #buglife

It's always a good day when you have a clinical situation that doesn't seem to have been reported anywhere in the medical literature, ever.

Ciemon - G4BFG Nov 30, 2025

Haven't activated a Parks On The Air site for far too long. And since the last time bugs have become part of the kit to pack.
Took a while to re-adjust it but my CW was good enough to complete the activation.
