		<description>There's never been a question of ant-blogging at the Stoa, Ben, and Tuesday Elephant Blogging is now a well-established tradition here (with elephant seals counting as elephants for the purposes... et cetera). 

What you want is Worm-Blogging, and all I can say is, "Maybe". The basic problem is that if I lift the lid off, they start to escape, so I don't really want to have the lid off while I set up a camera, etc. The other problem is that unless I shine bright lights into the wormery, or use flash, the pictures will be crappy, and I don't think the little darlings like bright light. (An inference from the fact that the wormery itself doesn't let a huge amount of light in.) 

So my instincts say that there won't be any Worm-Blogging at the Stoa, and that you'll have to stay content with cats and the occasional elephant. There's tapir blogging over &lt;a href="http://stillworldsapart.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;, of course (as you know), and if you really want some Wormery-Blogging, try over &lt;a href="http://www.wildburro.co.uk/index.php?s=wormery" rel="nofollow"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;, though do note it's a story with an unhappy ending ("Wormageddon!")</description>

		<description>Lovely. I don't usually approve of kings, and I'm sure Sylvain Maréchal wouldn't like it, but I think that Babar is a king worth making an exception for.</description>
