It's a fucking spider. Fucking kill it.

(A good day to you Sir!)

The brood, it grows.

I thought it about time i tidy up the little display i'd made directly under the spider web..

Only to find these monsters beneath the birds nest, and 13 more embedded into the bottom of the moss blanket. I think they might be Cockchafers, but they don't appear to have legs.

The crab seems fine, suprisingly. I suppose anything juicy was cooked out long ago by the sun.

One of the bees was hollowed out, as with the helipcoptor seeds and an unpictured feather 'wick'. I think this is the work of these tiny black creatures that i've seen sctulling across the windowsill at all hours.

I've taken all but my favorite specimines into the garden. It's pretty cold out there but hopefully they'll find a place to survive.

I'll get a belljar soon to help protect any future displays from dust and prospective occupants.

Are you a serial killer? Because your windowsill makes you look like a serial killer.

How does your moss stay so fresh? I would assume it would die. Also have you thought about investing in a plant pot?

I thought the same, so i put it in my bathroom which is often steamy and fairly moist with condensation from the window - It's been going since last autumn i think. It's a shame to have removed it but i don't really want that many grubs in my house.

Pictured gave me the idea - though i'm now wondering if it would become likewise infested.

They were dead when i found them.

I suspect moss mats are probably deeply impractical in reality, highly slimy and your feet end up dirtier than when you started. I think it is one of those ideas that people buy because of the romance of it but turns out to be in reality awful.

They're too interesting to dump but definitely need a dusting.

I sifted the debre for specimines, this is my favorite.

These come close second. The pinned one has a curl in its tail that's quite cute. The other was not quite dead, somehow. I'll confess I did pin it in frustration at it's meek struggle. I feel bad about that.

>>3036
Had I a brush I would have dusted these a bit. I did want some of the environment with the insects but this looks too dirty. Still, the things are interesting. I think they're technically crustaceans? You can see a lot of texture on the shells. And those plate spikes!

>>3037
Then there's this fucking thing. Tucked far behind my mirror; a pile of corpses. It was a shock to find. The black and white beady 'eye's might be fungus growth, but I haven't looked too closely.
To think this is literally a graveyard where a spider dumped carcasses.

Anyway, I had a lot of fun playing with these. The diormic nature of the eariler image with crab and grass is far more pleasing to see and create, probably why the fly was my favorite this time. I went a bit overboard with the crustations bedding. While the moth itself is nice to look at there's no scene involved.

Anyone else like this sort of thing? Even just macro nature shots. I copied a great one of flowers growing out of a decaying animal skull but don't want to disturb the mods too much.

It's always nice when .gs reminds me that I'm not quite as fucked in the head as I thought.

This is a snapshot of a character who hasn't learned to talk apropriately about his interests, yet. Nothing sinister.

Some people are into taxidermy, this seems pretty harmless and artistic in its own way.

>Anyone else like this sort of thing?
No. It’s just you.

It needs work. However, Polly Morgan sells eggs stuffed with hedgehog spines for £700 these days, so keep grinding, grotesquelad.

These are awesome. I think I heard about some of her work - bats in a deer carcas or something.
