One of the cooler bots to follow here is Biodiversity Illustrations (@biodiversitypix). I've seen plants and creatures of all kinds, usually in beautiful color. The attached image comes from its most recent post: https://botsin.space/@biodiversitypix/111025234552979528 The only thing the bot doesn't do is offer hashtags. #NaturalHistory #NaturalHistoryArt #shellfish

Happy #WhoopingCraneDay!
Here is “The Hooping Crane” in George Edwards’ A Natural History of Birds Pt. 3, 1750.
Yes, he illustrated it perching on an enlarged side view of its own giant beak. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

For #AudubonDay + #InternationalFlamingoDay: Pl.431 American Flamingo, 1838. Audubon insisted on illustrating every bird in The Birds of America life-size, including this one, but even using the largest paper available he still had to cheat the pose a bit to make it fit, swooping the neck down in a U-shape.

Went to the natural history museum in Oxford today. Sadly they told me I wasn't allowed to paint there (to avoid staining the historic floor).

This is a sketch I made once of Sinustrombus sinuatus, a lovely indopacific gastropod
