Be afraid…

Actually, I'm not sure you should be scared: this is rather cute:


It's Dorit Hockman's photograph of black mastiff bat embryos and it's going to adorn my Christmas cards this year. The photo came 20th in the Nikon Microphotography competition: you can be astonished by the other 19 on the Guardian's website. The bats remind me of the weeping angels in Doctor Who, or something out of Terry Pratchett. 

Now, who wants to donate towards some more lenses for me so I can enter next year?
