punkpaleo, Traces in the desert
Two scratch circles caused by tiny grasses have been swirled into orange sand. Above the scratch circles is a tiny pair of bird tracks with a particularly wide middle toe, and to the left is a scale bar in inches and centimeters. The scratch circle closest to the scale bar is roughly 8 centimeters in diameter.
An arthropod trackway, likely made by a beetle, cuts through orange sand in the center of the image, starting at the top right. Above the trackway is the base of a wild buckwheat plant, and to the left is a scale bar in centimeters and inches. The trackway is roughly a centimeter wide, and it's long enough that it goes out of frame at both the top and the bottom of the image.
Multiple bird tracks of varying sizes are impressed in bright orange sand alongside an arthropod trackway, likely made by a millipede. The author's finger pins down a scale bar in centimeters and inches at the bottom right of the image. The largest bird tracks are roughly centimeters long, and the millipede trackway is roughly half a centimeter wide.
