for fishlegs, serious question what’s the best rock to lick
Salt is objectively the best. Melanterite is sweet, but also very metallic and has a bitterness to it. Not bad, but probably depends on individual taste preferences. -Fishlegs
But it's such a unique combination of flavors! -Tuffnut
Probably shouldn't be licking rocks, anyways. We don't always know what minerals make up the rocks and it could make us sick. -Fishlegs
Live a little. Meatlug eats rocks all the time. -Tuffnut
as promised, the owlfly (family Ascalaphidae) I found in Singapore!
if you’re familiar with antlions, these work similarly, except instead of building a pit they rely on camouflage to hide from predators and ambush prey. a beautiful combination of lichen-y fringes and wickedly sharp mandibles.
it blended in perfectly with the mossy rope railing, even tucking back its mandibles at a 270° angle so that they lay hidden beneath the head.
it was one of several successful “oh-wait-was-that-a-bug-let’s-go-back-and-check” moments I had, and was glad I doubled back to see it for what it was! my first owlfly, now I’ve got to find an adult, which are dragonfly-like aerial predators
For my final ever knitting/crochet project I completed a little baby Talita from @jayrockin's comic Runaway to the Stars as a gift for my husband. I'm so pleased with how she worked out!
something short and simple i did in blender, 'animated' introduction of Carrot,,,,,its tough learning that you belong to a different species
