#Wolfspider

#can't decide if I think Taylor would actually figure herself out now that she's free from all that pressure #or if she just... never figures out that she actually likes girls because nobody she meets will be Rachel again #'pfft I can't be into her I felt more strongly about Rachel'

Sundancer: is it my imagination, or when you came, did you throw back your head and howl at the moon?

Taylor: yes, it's because I was thinking about Rachel

Taylor: (remembers Lisa going "in? In?")

Taylor: (smiling beatifically) in a completely heterosexual way

Sundancer: (looks up)

Love how Taylor just exited the narrative. Truly what our girl deserved. Everyone else is suffering through multiple apocalypses during Ward and Taylor is off somewhere in earth Aleph getting eaten out by Sundancer.

Strange Bedfellows: these unprecedented photos show a leafcutter bee sharing its nest with a wolfspider

I stumbled across these photos while I was looking for information about leafcutter bees, and I just wanted to share them, because they're really remarkable. The images were captured by an amateur photographer named Laurence Sanders, and they depict an unprecedented scene that has garnered the attention of both entomologists and arachnologists.

The photos show a leafcutter bee and a wolfspider living in the same burrow.

The leafcutter bee (Megachile macularis) can be seen fetching freshly-cut leaves, which she'll use to line the inner walls of her nest, while the wolfspider sits at the entryway to the burrow; as the bee approaches, the wolfspider moves aside, allowing her to enter the nest, and then she simply watches as the leaf is positioned along the inner wall.

Once the leaf is in position, the bee and the spider seem to inspect the nest together, sitting side-by-side in the entryway. The leafcutter bee seems strangely at ease in the presence of the wolfspider, which is normally a voracious predator, and the wolfspider seems equally unfazed by the fact that it shares its burrow with an enormous stinging insect.

The man who took these photographs discovered the peculiar scene by accident, and he then captured a series of images over the course of about two days (these are just a few of the photos that were taken). During that two-day period, the bee was seen entering the nest with bits of foliage dozens of times, gradually constructing the walls and brood chambers of its nest, and the spider was clearly occupying the same burrow, but they did not exhibit any signs of aggression toward one another.

The photos have been examined by various entomologists and arachnologists, and those experts seem ubiquitously surprised by the behavior that these images depict. The curator of entomology at Victoria Museum, Dr. Ken Walker, noted that this may be the very first time that this behavior has ever been documented, while Dr. Robert Raven, an arachnid expert at the Queensland Museum, described it as a "bizarre" situation.

This arrangement is completely unheard of, and the photos are truly remarkable.

WORM Bitch Animatic

HEY WORMBLR!!

I made a thing! Thought this song really suited Rachel's character. I imagine she ever was put in charge of making an undersides recruitment video it would go a little something like this. I hope you like it!

Dedication:

This video is dedicated to my sister, who insists on the superiorness of the wolfspider ship. (I’m more a fan of skitter x tattletale myself). But here we are. I guess this is some free wolfspider supremacy propeganda for you girl.

Rachel is initially confused on why Taylor insists on spending time with her...

[henghost]

Can you believe I used to prefer smugbug to wolfspider. Youthful ignorance. That smugbug is more popular in general speaks to a conspiracy against butch women in popular culture. Wolfspider is a blessing to this blighted fandom. Butch woman makes Taylor whimper in like the first chapter they see each other, and then they have a dog-based enemies to lovers arc. I mean come on.

Look, it's old hat by now that kissing her friends sloppy style was actually the least gay way for Taylor to distribute the cure to them. But. The fact that Taylor knew that is irrepressible proof of her queer qualities

Worlds Apart

I like to think Taylor adopted a dog on Aleph, like how Rachel made her memorial next to a bee’s nest. Something to remember the other by, the one who made an effort to really understand them when no one else would or could.

[bug4932]

but who really has the "scary dog gf" privilege in the relationship

[shrimpler]

ive been reading worm ..

edit: girls!

[phlorealcalicanto]

I just read all of Worm in like a month and I kept frantically reaching for the next chapter thinking surely, SURELY this is the one where the tension between Taylor and Rachel reaches a breaking point and they fuck messy style while some unspeakable calamity happens around them. And it just. never happens. (the fucking I mean, the calamities keep happening a bunch)
