A great deal of #AI is just mixing the #goose feed with #cinnabar and #orpiment in the hope the bird lays golden eggs (as some form of magic / alchemy) , and when it subsequently keels over then serving it up for dinner, so *everyone* who sits at the table gets slowly poisoned..

how about a #MacroMonday #MineralMonday photostack?

this came to me as unlabeled cutting rough, I've tentatively ID'd as Cinnabar on Dolomite & won't be cutting it

Today is day 7 of #30DaysWild. During early morning #hedgewatch, my humans met this #butterfly. It's a cinnabar #moth. It is because of the wonderful red colour, named after the #mineral #cinnabar. Our humans are #geologists and like that a lot 😹😻

From my lunch time walk, a #Cinnabar #Moth clinging to a stalk alongside Bawsey Drain (this picture has been rotated 90 degrees to maximize the presence of the moth).
