Field note: Dust Spike

The air shimmers over the steppe, and the wind carries dust in fine banners.

Today I come across a Dust Spike — tiny · striped · ears · wreath.

A spike puffs up if you approach too fast. Walk slowly and you can watch the spines soften.

If you want to meet one yourself: Steppe. It cannot be caught — only won over.

— from the Wanderer’s notes

The next one appears tomorrow — a new species every day.
