Rare not my photos but I had to talk about this guy because they're one of the most interesting crickets I've seen.

Triaenogryllacris triaena

Is a kind of Gryllacrididae, also known as "Raspy crickets" or "Leaf roller crickets". These crickets are notable because they're one of the few Orthoptera that produce silk, they roll up leaves or debris and line the enclosure with silk produced from glands in their mouth to use as shelter. There are some species of Gryllacrididae native to the US, but this species in particular is found in Colombia. I don't know why he has a red dot on his forehead but that's their natural coloration!

Happy pride month to nonbinary people!! Every single enban and enby, out for one day or out for all your life, and those yet to be out, have a great pride! Enbiness is something to be celebrated, leaving the binary behind and living your own life is beautiful and should be celebrated!! Genderqueers, neuters, inverts, androgynes and bi-genders fought for our ability to be able to be a united nonbinary community today, and that fight cannot die, or be washed in any capitalistic or liberal manner. Nonbinary pride is revolutionary!! Nonbinary celebration and love is revolutionary and something to be proud of!!! Happy pride fellow enben!!

Had a very lovely surprise today! One of my stick insect eggs FINALLY hatched! I’ve had the eggs for a little over 8 months now and just about gave up on them— I’m so glad I didn’t! Hopefully more hatch soon. The last photo is of the parents. 💚

Decided to read Brideshead Revisited for the first time and

1. This is the gayest book I have ever read. This is not subtext common to the time period, this is Evelyn Waugh slamming us against a window going LOOK AT HOW FUCKING GAY THESE DUDES ARE, LOOK, LOOK AT THE GAYS

2. Anthony Blanche is amazing. I can hear exactly how he speaks in my head perfectly. One of my best friends was very much the American Anthony Blanche and reading him telling Charles a story about pretending to be a girl friend of his on the phone with an older man made me go text my friend.

3. I suddenly have a burning need to know when exactly the term "invert" or "inverted" as a casual way of referencing homosexuality fell out of favor

4. Sebastian having a wildly religious family that he avoids whenever possible despite having a connection to and love for them he cannot shake off is such a deeply relatable feeling

5. Seriously. I was led to believe this book had "queer subtext" but I have yet to find any text that isn't the time period equivalent of shouting GAY from a rooftop.

i don't know who you are but I saw entomologist and objectum and I hit follow.

can you tell me a fact about bugs :)

YES!!!!! phausis reticulata "blue ghost firefly" is a species of firefly that looks a pretty normal green close-up, but when seen from far away, their glow looks blue, hence the name!! they also have a steady glow, unlike other species who have a blinking glow as a mating ritual.

there aren't really any non-photoshopped images of the blue glow, but here are some regular photos of them

When I'm not experiencing excruciating existential dread or playing with plants I draw bugs. This is a juvenile Ellipsidion australe cockroach native to Eastern Australia and they're super sweet and pretty.

Then I turned him into a sticker because no one stopped me 🕺
