A sequence of the amazing solifug digging behaviour:
1- Turning a rock 5 times bigger and 20 times heavier;
2- For one the most powerful chelicerae in the animal kingdom biting a sandy rock is like having a muffin for breakfast;
3- The bitten rock is them passed under the body and pushed away through the back legs;
4- Shooing in more rock;
5- and shooing and using the suctorial ability of the palps to grab "small" rocks;
6- And them using the chelicerae as a shovel and pushing the rocky remains out;
Raina and I take a moment to be cheesy after a morning of digging out the foundation. About halfway done! (thanks to Tessa and Jojo)
Heather took some great pictures of James during a BBQ on Sunday. I thought I'd try out some "reverse orton" photoshopping and while I was playing around with a texture layer, I accidentally came across this tint.
I'll try to come up with a couple more variations...
this place is a big place where digging for moclay is made for commercial purpose and the moclay is being used for cat-strey and for tiles inside the fireplace...
We are allowed to walk there and look for fossils and when we were there nobody were working...but trucks use to drive in and out on working days....
We buried a large amount of toy dinosaurs and creepy crawlies in this sand box and provided shovels for the kids to dig. Anything they dug up, they kept. Made for an interesting and slightly different party game :)
The West Tower, West Range and East Tower at Helmsley Castle, built in the early 12th century by Walter Espec. The castle was strengthened and modernised throughout the Middle Ages but during the Civil War its defences were dismantled. The path on the left is part of the earthworks walk. The structure is in the care of English Heritage.
Let's hope the hunt lasts til this evening for another night of even more wacky digging in the dark.
I was sort of in awe of the little guys as they were digging, so I took some footage of them. Hope you enjoy it is much as I seem to!

When I was a kid and someone would dig a hole the saying always was that they were, "digging to China." I'm not sure where the saying came from. All Alice found was more sand, heh.
