It’s time for the Inklet of the week!! (And don’t forget the Kickstarter for all the Inklets is still running!) Today, however, is official birthday of Caught In The Act, a lil sci fi heist story that I wrote for a course a year or so ago. I thought, when I started writing this, that
This week’s Inklet is one I wrote for a course a couple of years ago, based on an article I read about the decline of the insect population. I’d been expecting to write in response to one of the other articles we’d been given, but as I sat down to write, the insect population one

A group of divers were out, well, diving, and stumbled (metaphorically, because stumbling while swimming is hard?) across a tiny lil octopus. Said octopussum had had a tiny lapse in judgement, and was attempting to use a plastic cup as a shell. The divers felt sorry for it, and spent a significant part of their

So cute, so adorable <3 …Okay, so this one in particular is more creepy, slimy, and like something out of a horror film, especially with the sound effects and music the film crew have added :’D But still. Pretty cool lil fella. Hit play to see the only octopus officially adapted to both land and

Random biology this week, since I feel like we haven’t done that in a while. Today, we’re talking about this critter: In most of Australia, we call them Slater beetles or Slater bugs, but they have a whole host of names around the world – often riffing on the ‘bug’ theme. HOWEVER. I just discovered
