Max and I spent much of Easter Sunday working on the final bits of issue 8 of The Amateur Naturalist, which will be out in a couple of weeks unless something horrible happens.It includes a jolly good article from Maxy on out-of-place arachnids and to tease him I put this 19th century illustration of the well known nursery rhyme as the header.
He had a fit!
To placate the lad I removed it, but found the image so peculiar that I felt bound to share it with everyone out in Bloggoland. Not just peculiar but mildly disturbing.















In November Sahar Dimus, our guide on four CFZ Sumatra expeditions, died of liver failure leaving a widow Lucy and four Children. On the 2nd November, Dezyama D. Sangma, wife of our friend and colleague Dipu Marak, our collaborator on the 2010 Indian expedition died, leaving her grieving husband and two small children.

I believe this is from Father Goose illustrated by W.W.Denslow and written by L.Frank Baum - the team that gave the world The Wonderful Wizzard of Oz.
