The Giants Causeway should definitely be on your bucket list. The ancient rock formations are truly beautiful. Hopefully the sun will shine for you when you go! I got the full Irish special with torrential rain and cold winds, but that did nothing to dampen the beauty of the place.
Shy and I have made some collaborative pins!**NOW ON PREORDER** Hard enamel pins based off our Ocs Aba and Emri in their witch forms. Each comes with decorative backing card, including the witch’s symbolism/themes. Wachholda : A wandering witch who hunts for her lost head. Though clever, her impatience robs her of her goals. She often wears her lantern where her head should be, in desperation to feel whole. Eikthyrn : A mourning witch born out of loss and loneliness. Seated in a labyrinth of his own making, the maze lures in what he longs for and deters what he doesn’t. Surrounding flowers drink from his tears, expanding the maze.
Sea urchins have modified mouth parts on the underside of their bodies called an Aristotle’s lantern. The lantern is made up of tooth-like plates that scrape up bits of food like algae, as seen here.
We specifically don’t scrub the algae in this habitat for the urchins, and I see them on the walls all the time, presumably getting a tasty meal. But I had never seen it in action before last week! Invertebrates are such cool little aliens!
