Exploring the concrete jungle: Urban soil animals and World Soil Day - A Chaos of Delight Discover the remarkable and beautiful tiny soil animals surviving and thriving in our urban landscapes, this World Soil Day.

Here is my latest blog post for WSD 2025- healthy soils for healthy cities…

Happy World Soil Day!

And no springtails or mites either!

They’re not rumours. Krauss really is an odious, unpleasant creep who supports child abusers.

Me neither. He’s a creepy creep, and supporter of abusers. Fuck that.

And just to add- I hadn’t realised what a creep you are and have been to women, over and over again. Seriously, you’re just another one of them ‘getting away with it’ because of your connections and money. No pre-order from me.

Thanks so much for your latest YouTube post. I hadn’t quite realised just how bad Krauss is. I’ll be removing him from my website. I can surely quote instead from living people that aren’t completely repulsive fucks

Your continued support of Epstein is shameful and disgusting. You may well be a great physicist and I have used quotes from you in my science communication. I will be removing them and any support of you from here on in.

Seriously, what the fuck?!

You were the perfect guest on QI! Awesome job!

Just watched all three episodes. Wow. A genuinely clever, thoughtful series and she is superb in this.

A lovely Dicyrtoma fusca var. 1 sitting on a mushroom with a whole load of guttation.

I haven’t been posting on here very much recently, but thought I’d post this photo of a Dicyrtoma fusca springtail. What a beauty…

How spicy are the birds?

Fucks sake. Another shameful, despicable decision by the fascistic orange shitheap in chief.

Fantastic

I regularly shoot at x8 and above of animals under 1mm. And genuinely, you just don’t really need 100 photo stacks. They look artificial and weird. The whole joy is to capture something real. A few photos stacked is wonderful but needs to be done sensitively.

It’s the sort of place that people with no taste, sense or aesthetics would want.

As of last week it started to rain, finally, so I’m back!
I went out today and found this Tetranychus species of spider mite, complete with webbing, which you can just make out in the background. A stunningly beautiful colour. I can still take photos, which is a relief.

Amazing

Grifts, surely?

That looks genuinely fantastic.

Always

Thank you for what you did

I hadn’t realised until this year, that they are extremely edible.

Very, very jealous! That’s awesome

Love these- I grew up with his sketchbook of birds, completely inspiring bird artist

Thanks so much!
