Blue felt lichen - Pectenia plumbea. Not looking particularly blue, or felty, but that's okay. ^_^

#2234 - Sticta sp. - Moon Lichen

Also known as Spotted Felt Lichens.

Little puzzling - one seems like Sticta fuliginosa or that morphodreme, at least, and the other seems close to S. limbata. Best to limit the ID to genus for now.

Sticta includes over 100 species of leafy lichens, mostly found in the tropics growing on bark, wood, or mossy rock. Most are brown or black on the upper side, and have a densely furry underside. Species with cyanobacterial symbionts are an important source of fixed nitrogen in rainforest ecosystems. Most species smell of seafood.

Two species - S. dufournii or the blue-green algal morphotype S. canariensis - are sensitive and accurate evidence that a forest has existed without being clear-cut since early medieval times.

Working on Not a Lot o' Axolotls

I'm about to post a set of pillows up for sale in the NaLoA Zazzle shop and call it a day, but I was thinking about eventually adding notebooks, iPhone cases, etc.

At the same time, I don't want to put too much effort into products no one will buy, especially if I'm donating all of the royalties from this shop to the World Wildlife Fund. Charity is good and all, but I'll probably end up giving more of my earnings from Squiggles and Squirrels to the WWF than what I've made so far with NaLoA, so I'd much rather work on S&S whatnot.

At this point, only T-shirts and mugs have been selling from NaLoA, so before I design hats or plates or something else that won't sell, I have this question:

Are there any particular products you'd like to see Not a Lot of Axolotls designs on?
