Mélusine for #MerMay!

This hand-printed Art Deco-inspired lino block print illustrates Mélusine at her bath, spied through a keyhole. Mélusine was the legendary half-fairy ancestor of the House of Lusignan and royals including the Plantagenets, whose lower half became a serpent when she bathed. She married a nobleman but insisted he must never observe her in the bath; of course he did, and she left him. 🧵

Linocut in an Art Deco inspired style of Mélusine in her bath, spied through a keyhole. Outside the keyhole is gold with a pattern of white lines. Inside is blue with an arc at the top with the word “Mélusine” and then she sits in a round tub running her fingers through her hair with her serpent lower half spilling out.

#FolkloreSunday: `A fisherman was floundering off the #Breton coast, sighting, through the evening mist, a white-clad #fairy-woman beckoning him ashore. Anxious to avoid the treacherous rocks that skirted the coast, the fisherman tried to tack away from the shoreline but was helpless against the power of the waves. His small boat was quickly engulfed and was smashed against the walls of a cave where he lost consciousness. He awoke the following morning to find himself in a smart new boat filled with clean tackle and a great catch of fish.`

May I introduce myself? I'm Phymatocerra aterrima, the Solomon's seal #sawfly. My larvae are extreme gourmets: they can eat only leaves of #SolomonsSeal and #LilyOfTheValley. If you kill the habitats of these plants, we can't survive. Therefore, we love the #forests of #VosgesDuNord and our photographer's wild #garden.
It's #fairy: #Polygonatum multiflorum is the fairy tale's key 'Springwurz' that opens all doors - perhaps also the magic viper's cave under the elder tree? #NatureMatchCuts

Macro of Phymatocera aterrima living exclusively on Salomon's seal or Convallaria. It's black (in the sunshine blueish-metallic black) and has 4 crumpled looking wings. The richness of biodiversity depends often on how many different food plants exist for extremely specialised animals like this wasp. Their larvae need leaves of this small spectrum of plants.
Leaves of Polygonatum multiflorum in the shadow. Very small black fly-like insects sitting on two leaves.
