I am actually desperate to get my hands on a LEGO Gryllus model 🦗🤩

[Dennis Sun @Mezarque]

A tad late for #InverteFest, but I submitted a set of my arthropod Lego designs to @LEGOIdeas!

My set idea "Arthropod Model Organisms" features models for a fruit fly, amphipod crustacean, red flour beetle, and two-spotted cricket.

@NHM_London Really loved this display when I saw it earlier in the year, and it also made a good photo backdrop at the silent disco too 😎

Yesterday I sent off a review for a manuscript that I had been invited to review about 24 hours previously 🥳. This is a height of academic proficiency that I'll likely never surpass 😅

[Adam Bent @Bentycakes]

@curt194 It was certainly a good midweek pick-me-up! I'm looking forward to some of these new switch port/collections, and thinking I should finally get round to playing Xenoblade 😅

Wishing all my family, friends and followers the best of starts to 2022🥳. I hope this year brings you lots of joy and prosperity😄

[Adam Bent @Bentycakes]

@liamsims I'm convinced you only come and visit to get a picture with the dog...😅

Getting my first non-PhD manuscript published is a lovely way to end the year🎄🎁! Check it out here (it's still all about crickets I'm not sorry to say 🦗)
