Welcome to Nature Underfoot. A blog that considers the smaller organisms that are intimately associated with human beings. They are the winners of the Anthropocene, but they get little respect. We're talking about nature that occupies the crack in the sidewalk, and climbs and oozes into our homes - nature underfoot.

Pavement ants come in from the cold
Searching for slugs is a satisfying enterprise on a wet day.
We've carried pillbugs around the world. But, how well do we know these remarkable creatures?
Why write a blog about small, commonplace living things?
