@whywhitby : “Would you like some sugar?"

First response thumping against his simplest of minds is 'would I like what, honey?' - but that's not a good glove here. And so he thinks, just a little longer, about what would make for a better joke. ( Sugar. Sugar is sweet. The question is sweet. He's got it now! )

With a smile and the cup extended, Scott parts curved lips to speak. "That would be pretty sweet, yeah." He sounds a little proud of himself, though he wonders if - in its unusual subtlety before the heaps of puns he's thrown Whitby's way - that instant of thought would amount to little beyond his own recognition.

Either way, he is content. Looking over the trail of ants on his knee and begging them softly, with his communicator, not to take the sugar away and run. ( Samanta is eager to threaten that she will, eventually. )

"You know, I was wondering when to bring this up - but I figured, hell, let's be spontaneous. Whitby, do you feel like joining an insanely awesome security company I know about?"

Rant about your favorite insects and why you like them

Tag someone so I can invade their ask box

@strwbrryluvsick might like an ask!

I typed out. Paragraphs unto paragraphs unto paragraps. And it got deleted. Hsisbsjdbs so much pain

For the sake of my mental health I'll keep to a handful of bullet points, if that's fine!!

Ants

Dracula ants

- often nearly or completely blind

- endemic to Madagascar

- fastest recorded movement in the animal kingdom!! At 90 meters per second/200mph, which they reach in just 0.00015 seconds!

- they don't eat any food! They hunt and feed their larvae and pupae, whose blood (haemolymph) they then drink

Trapjaw ants (my absolute favs)

- they look like they have a beartrap on their face!! :3

- this jaw, when triggered by a super sensitive hair on their face, snaps shut at 63 meters per second, 170-ish mph - second fastest movement in the animal kingdom

- they can use their jaw against heavier objects/surfaces as to launch themselves!! Leap large distances and such!!

- in the same way, their jaws also act as catapults! They can shoot intruders out of their nests!!

- their larvae are spiked, stick to walls, and are very active and agressive

Wasps

Mud dauber

- they're very pretty! Look at em!! So dainty

- build their nests out of mud and dirt

- and since they are parasitic wasps... they paralyse their prey and drag it into their nest. Where they then lay their eggs inside of the nest or inside of the paralysed but still alive prey, and then sealing the nest closed

- reported/speculated to have caused mutliple deadly airplane accidents

Tarantula hawks

- look at that colour scheme! Beautiful!!

- also a parasitic wasp. But their prey are tarantulas.

- in Fallout New Vegas. One of the multiple reasons I got into insects. They're traumatising in that game, though.

- one of the most painful stings of any insect, descibed as "Blinding, fierce and shockingly electric"

Velvet ant (aka cowkiller)

- doesn't have the venom to kill a cow. Obviously. (venom less toxic than that of honeybees.) But the sting is so painful that people thought that it was. Which is super cool and funny

- also dubbed 'the indestructible insect' due to their plethora of defense mechanisms (venomous sting, aposematic colouring (<- warning bright colours), stridulatory organ (<-making sounds (squeaks)), alarm secretion, tough and durable exoskeleton)

- most of simulated conflicts with natural predators resulted in survival of the ant and avoidance by predator (while some are stated to allegedly have killed their natural predator)

- mate in the air. Aren't winged. The males just kinda... taxi them up there

Polyneoptera

Angel insects

- even just the name???

- translucent, cute, small little things

- usually completely blind and flightless, when faced with an unfavourable environment or situation, they produce offspring with fully functioning eyes and wings as to disperse and produce new colonies, where future generations will be also wingless

- (similar to ants a little) (in that point above) (but the spontaneity of if is so cool and unique)

Webspinners

- so cute

- they spin the finest/thinnest silk of any animal! At around 65 nanometers in diameter, if is also waterproof! And, while insects have only 1 silk gland (,if they even have one), they have 300 of em!!

- their nests are called Galleries. Need I say more?

- also their males can't consume food can fly and die quickly. Kinda cool

Ice crawlers

- extremophile.

- like. Extremely.

- preferred temperature of 1 to 4 degrees celsius. More than 5 degrees higher? Death. Too much lower? Death (by ice forming inside their bodies)

- they live on glaciers and stuff!!!

I had an honourable mentions section typed out but it got deleted (again) so much pain. At least the rest of the answer stayed tho

Anyway! Thanks for the ask!!!

tricks or treats or colombos

your columbo is: a mood, for this week

[mansand]

Hello! Just wanted to mention spoecifically how much I absolutely adore your drawing of an ant mimicking spider and the carpenter ant. i absolutely adore it and show it to everyone (and link back to you). It is such an amazing depiction and so clever and I love the details. I just adore it. Thank you!

Ahhh hehe thank you.. A lot of these ant commissions were moreso character design commissions in a way, so I had to think about what im drawing and how they characteristics would transfer over if they were bug gjinka'd. bugjinka if you will. I think a lot of ant mimicking spiders would be the equivalent of like a bum that doesn't work and the company just keeps them around because they do the bare minimum or steal someone else's work and pass it off as their own. And then there's the other kind that have their own agenda and want to weaken an ant union or dissolve it.
