My son & I just completed the incredible Evolution Tour 2025 hosted and led by the amazing @scibugs.bsky.social and @statedclearly.bsky.social. We experienced and learned a ton, met some awesome new friends, and got to play a small part in protecting our precious Amazon rainforest. #EvoTour2025 🪲🐜🐛
A black butterfly with faint iridescent blue near the wing edges and small red-orange spots rests on a green plant bud, its wings partially open against a softly blurred forest background. A small beetle with a shiny black body marked by pale yellow spots and a yellow-orange thorax stands on the edge of a bright green leaf, with fine antennae extending forward. A white, fuzzy, oval-shaped caterpillar hangs vertically from a thin green stem, surrounded by large green leaves and dark forest ground beneath. A peacock katydid (Pterochroza ocellata) with wings spread wide displays large, eye-like patterns in pink, black, and turquoise tones, standing on leaf litter on the forest floor, the rear of its body facing the camera.

Thanks so much Sam! Yes - the amazing @anna-orridge.bsky.social has her debut novella Phengaris out with us next month, and it's available for preorder now!

Featuring:

🪲 Bug horror
👾 Hallucinatory fever-dream cosmic weirdness
🧠 Cronenbergesque body oddity

Promo image for Phengaris, featuring: 1. Book cover, with a central design showing a butterfly constructed out of scrap metal 2. Blurb from the BFS' Lauren McMenemy that reads: "Gorgeously dark and dreamy in the best way, Phengaris twists folklore and magic into a tale of the very real impact loss can have on us at formative ages. Definitely not one for the faint of heart, nor those with entomophobia. I'll never look at a bug the same way again"
