a baby house centipede, with just eight tiny legs and its huge mother with a full set of 30 meet for a brief moment.

house centipedes, unlike the more recently derived scolopendromorphs, do not care for their young, and abandon eggs in soil to fend for themselves. this female was in captivity, though, so her eggs hatched in her enclosure; however, she didn’t seem interested in eating her own young.

the little hatchlings might take three or four years to reach their mother’s impressive stature.

@sarnie-for-varney submitted: Not a bug, but it's pretty cold here lately and there are a bunch of frosty spider webs around!

I thought this one was particularly impressive. Look at how closely knitted together it is!

(A rose hip seems to have accidentally fell onto the web 🙈 I'm glad it didn't destroy it! ❤️)

Ohhhh wow what a great web and the rose hip looks like an ornament decorating it. Very Christmassy :)

Today's moth is the Light Crimson Underwing!

At first glance they look very boring, like, yeah. A typical gray/brown moth.

But under the hindwings they have this beautiful crimson pinkish colour!! awawa so pretty :3 :3

This moth flies in Europe and the Black sea region from july to august, so if you're from there keep an eye out next year! They do not pose any threat to agriculture or local plantlife so they're just there to be a treat to the eyes :3
