Tumblr is super big on the "I didn't say it was good, I said I liked it" but really need to discover the value in its opposite of "I didn't say it was bad, I said I hated it".

You can acknowledge that something is good, great, a masterpiece even, and just straight-up not enjoy it.

Will there ever come a day where I do not learn of some fascinating new variety of Beast that lives and breathes on Earth? I hope not. ANYWAY.

I have noticed that North American Rodents tend to be… overachievers. I suppose if one of my Aunts had a PhD in Hydrogeologic Engineering (Beavers) and my Uncle was a Master-class Plumber and Drainage expert (Pocket Gophers) I might feel some pressure to contribute a bit. Course, those guys are big. Not everybody has the body mass to go hauling trees and dirt.

Of course, even the smaller Mice lineages manage to impress in their own ways. From the Pack Rats: with their elaborate houses and trade deals; to the Deer Mice: quick as a ghost.

But, Today’s Beastie is:

GRASSHOPPER MOUSE

They’re hunters!

They principally eat insects: centipedes, scorpions, crickets, spiders, flies, etc.

They have, notably, evolved an immunity to the painful sting of the Bark Scorpion, on which they regularly feed.

This appears to have had the side effect of raising their general pain tolerance.

They stalk their prey like a cat!

They “howl” like a tiny wolf!

Behold! The mighty Hunter! (Of Scorpions)

I love them!

Bug Crossing 🐛

I got the idea for this piece on a sunny day a while ago after seeing a beetle in the park struggle to get across the hot tarmac path, just a silly visual to explore the question of how much we should be mindful of the wildlife we share a habitat with - they live here too!
