The flowers of the Sarracenia, also known as North American Pitcher Plants are my absolute favorite. They are so elegant and graceful for a plant that devours insects for a living 🌱

A large Edmontosaurus regalis is giving the side-eye to a young Tyrannosaurus. Rex that's just passing by.

A large mosasaur finds a meal in a Komoksodon kwutchakuth. Named in honour of the K'ómoks people of BC and the word for shark, kwutchakuth, in the Comox language. The diving birds are Maaqwi cascadensis whose fossils were found on Hornby Island here in BC. Ma'aqwi means "water bird" in Coast Salish.

Hello Vancouver iNat users! The China Creek Pollinator Garden is now an iNat project: China Creek Park Pollinator Garden 2025. Which means any observations of insects (and other invertebrates), birds, mammals and plants will be recorded and we can demonstrate the importance of urban green spaces.

There's not much I can do about the state of the world, but one thing I can do is to get people to look at more bugs. I'll be handing out bee-ingo cards while working in the Pollinator Garden once the flowers are up. If you get four in a row you get a sticker.

I'm taking a look at the Rhynie Chert again, so I made a quick size chart of the plants I've already illustrated from it. These plants are some of the earliest land #plants, being from the Early #Devonian. From left to right: Asteroxylon, Horneophyton and Aglaophyton. #paleoart #paleobotany #sciart

Seeing the first spring Bumble Queen with pollen all over her face has helped suppress the existential dread for at least a moment.
