@cold-blooded-candy submitted: Found several of these big chunky friends out in the Peak District and immediately thought of your blog!
Okay well we don’t have these here in the US so this is WILD to me. It looks like someone embroidered it. I deeply love these dudes. They’re oak eggar moth caterpillars! Adults look like this:

Cuarenta Casas is an archaeological in the northern Mexican state of Chihuahua. Construction of the site is attributed to the Mogollon culture.
Located in Vallecito in the municipality of Casas Grandes, Chihuahua, Forty Houses is believed to be the southernmost site related to the period of Mogollon influence. The site consists of a series of cliff dwellings built in natural caves in the cliffs of Huapoca Canyon. The best known is the Cueva de las Ventanas(Cave of the Windows). Early Spanish explorers named the site Cuarenta Casas (forty houses) based on their speculation of the total number of structures. The area consists of five main cave communities: Cueva del Puente, Cueva de la Serpiente, Nido del Aguila and Cueva Grande.

First Fossilized Lungs Found in Dinosaur-Era Bird
The earliest fossilized lungs have been found in an ancestral bird species. About 120 million years ago, the Archaeorhynchus spathula lived in what is today China alongside dinosaurs, before dying in a volcanic eruption. The newfound fossil is unusual for its preserved feathers and considerable soft tissue, which show that this primitive bird’s lungs closely resemble those found in living birds.
Modern birds have hyper-efficient lungs. Flying is a tough workout, and hyper-efficient lungs process oxygen quickly and with less effort, so that birds’ muscles can get enough oxygen during flight to keep going. This new fossil suggests such specialized lungs evolved earlier than previously thought.

The BPP developed more that 60 Serve the People programs, including efforts to provide free clothing and shoes, medical services —including drug and alcohol awareness, —legal aid education, and what was thought to be some of the first true early childhood education programs in the nation, preceding Head Start.
