I'm now quite a ways into DARWIN AND THE QUEER ORIGINS OF LIFE @rossbrooks.co.uk Really enjoying it. We've come through a wave of "penguins can be gay!" writing that has left many young people excited about queer biology, but with few real weapons to face the world about it. This book will help!!

Beautiful plate, grim subject: parasitic castration of bees by Stylops, a genus of twisted-wing parasites. It accompanies French zoologist Jean Pérez's 1886 description of the phenomenon. 🐝🗃️ Source: Biodiversity Heritage Library #histbio #histsci #hstm #sts #nature #bees @biodivlibrary.bsky.social

Lovely plate showing two gynandromorph large yeoman butterflies (Cirrochroa aoris). One is shown from above (top) and beneath (centre). From an 1880 article by English entomologist J.O. Westwood in the Transactions of the Entomological Society of London. 🌈🦋🗃️ @biodivlibrary.bsky.social #histsci #sts
