Making centipede & millipede sparklecare patient OCs. Still so hung up on the fact that apparently no insect anthries exist on spinch, but since Doom and Mood exist, other arthropods like arachnids and myriapods do, but we NEVER saw them or even hybrids besides those two. I shouldn’t be as annoyed about it as I am, but I am. I love centipedes. Justice for centipedes. Could’ve had centipedes but no, we need incest

gosh, I wish I had a picture, but I saw this really cute mud dauber wasp(?) today! It was thin waisted and collecting mud so…
But the interesting thing is that it was like, squeaking? Do you know what that could be besides a wasp hard at work?
I have heard it and it's definitely a thing that they do and I've seen it talked about, but I've never seen a good explanation for exactly how they make the noise (a sort of squeaking/buzzing, but not the buzzing of their wings) or why they do it. It's usually while they're busy collecting or depositing mud. Mud daubers are solitary, so I can't imagine it's for communication with other wasps. If anyone can find a trusted scientific source talking about it, I'd love to know the answer!

EVIL MARK, EVIL MARK, EVIL MARK!!! I want to be coherent about this season but please picture me foaming at the mouth and running on the walls. S2 being what if Mark's just like his Dad? Insanity. I love this show. Anyways, AU where an Evil!Mark tries to make Our!Mark worse, and Our!Mark tries to make the other better. Something something confronting your idea of the worst version of oneself. Plus, tweaked black and yellow costume because I saw it and immediately went murder hornet lookin' ass and knew I had to draw it. Evil ass Mark. Horrible. I think he should be dragged kicking and screaming into redemption.
#mark and the fact he is fighting for this fucking life to avoid the Many Bad Endings???? im pacing. getting out the red string.#when the season is about who you are and what you could become. when trying to be good is an active choice and a struggle.#RAHHHHHHHHHHH#chewing on the bars of my enclosure...when every mark is evil OUR mark is the outlier. the exception. the OTHER. RAHHHH#dog poetry being mark poetry because how often can you kick a dog before it starts snarling before you raise your hand?#how often can you beat it before it rips into you without mercy? when it bites not at your hand but at your neck?#when does violence for survival and violence for vengeance start and end? when your opponent is down and you keep drawing blood?#circling and pacing and losing my mind over this btw if you care#anyways self vs self gets me going crazy. did you know i loved the end of atsv? because it shows.#i think o!mark would lose his fucking mind at what evil wasp looking mark has done + this mf wasp would LOATHE mark's kindness#they both see the other as the WORST version of themselves and they can't stand it. They can't shatter the mirror but they think they can--#--change the reflection.#evil mark seeing mark and seeing what he USED to be#mark seeing what he COULD be#CAN U SEE THE VISION??????#digital art#invincible rotating in my mind#invincible fanart#fanart#mark my beloved#mark grayson fanart#mark grayson#invincible s2#invincible show#mark like hello this is my secret twin and he is NOTHING like me hahahaha anyways wanna debate about having mORALS and LIFE#mark grayson vs the urge not to accept every responsibility as his own#he's batman coded that way#ok im done yapping#if this happened in the comics in any way shape or form dont tell me JACK SHIT or i will PUMMEL YOU with my SHOES

Dasymutilla vestita, a species of velvet ant, in southern New Mexico, US. Despite their name, velvet ants are actually wasps. The females, like the one in this picture, don't have wings and can inflict an extremely painful sting. However, they're non aggressive and will only sting in self defense. Males have wings and cannot sting.

My 16-month-old son *insists* on flipping through an Indonesian amphibian fieldguide every evening. I think I have peaked as a parent 🥲
#amphibians#frogs#parenting#herpetology#science#the whole book is in Indonesian#so I cannot read it at all except the latin names and measurements#but the photos and layout are amongst the best of any fieldguide I have ever seen#it's basically the ideal book for babies#maximum frog#personal#we have taught him to put out his hand to receive animals to look at#and now when he finds something he holds out his hand and indicates I should put it on there#which is great and all#but he also does this for wasps and bees#and is very upset when he does not get the sharp insects#we are working on it

Every time you drop new lore I get a new idea that I can't figure out how/have the motivation to craft a full story out of lmao
Been thinking about those people asking if Cellie or Luna would notice if somepony lands on them, and I couldn't help but thinking about a pony escaping some sort of abusive situation and flying to the one place they couldn't imagine anypony following them- a goddess.
Would the goddess care? I imagine Luna most definitely would, but Celestia? Maybe, on a sort of vague level, in that she cares about the well being of all creatures. Or maybe she would on a much deeper level than anticipated, seeing as she knows all too well what comes from that sort of thing.
Just wanted to stop by to say thank you for the brain food, I just adore how your universe is coming along! Your worldbuilding is exquisite.
Celestia would not notice you for a while. She may get a vague sense of someone seeking sanctuary, so she would feel protective. If you stay more than a few sunsets she would realize your significance and check you out. She won't ask you about your day or anything, and caring about your story is a little difficult for her. But if your abuser shows up, well... They shouldn't have been so close to a goddess' feet.
The others would care much more, and want to know your whole story and give you comfort. Luna would protect your dreams, Cadance would protect you physically, and Twilight would connect you to a support network to help you get your life back and stay safe.
#alicorn lore#ssg celestia#ssg alicorns#ssg gods#yeah celestia gets over the whole 'killing people' thing eventually#even the most sensitive of insect lovers walk on grass#though I try not to#and when i'm moving something from the woods into my home or into water#i pick off all the bugs first so they will be ok#except ants#they get squished if i find them inside#outside i leave them alone#if an ant bites me i squish it but if a wasp or lacewing bites me i let them go#i dunno i guess even cosmic monsters have a threshhold of what we care about

Fun note of the specific pronoun situation with the translation errors between Wasp and Bugnish: under normal circumstances, Jayde would get automatically assigned he/him in Bugnish, since she uses the standard "non-queen social bug" pronouns that roughly 95% of the Wasp Hive do, which get translated to drone pronouns in Bugnish due to a roughly century-old miscommunication. She gets assigned worker pronouns in Bugnish specifically because those are what Kabbu defaults to with social bugs, and other people picked it up from him during introductions. This Will Be A Point Of Confusion For Her Whenever She Asks About It.
#we speak#headcanons#conlang#anyways. fun fact the house's pronouns get jiggled around a lot more than it/its vi and they/them kabbu. jayde is a he now#hes still a worker this is just how bugnish has settled on translating wild swamplands pronouns#for related reasons “nonsocial bug” when translated from Wasp to Bugnish will become worker pronouns#queen is still queen though#we still need to work out what neopronouns we want to sub in for queen pronouns. or if we want to sub worker for a neopronoun#unfortunately we can't just write in conlang and expect people to understand it#our translation setup to english is still very weird#whenever we get to let zbt-159 interact with out of colony bugnish speakers they might get she/herred just because#yknow. we are already translating workergender as she/her.#bug fables#theres enough language barrier and weird interpretation that character pronouns will change from perspective to perspective#she/her in wasp pov because wasp kingdom socialbuggender is still technically a worker gender#he/him in everyone else's pov because the wasp queen's drones and generals use the same pronouns and some scribes got very confused#it prioritizes drone because that's Technically the higher rank and thus the one to use to avoid offence from guests#but drones don't realistically have much station so it's sort of like calling the entire wasp kingdom except for the queen manwhores

no for real, just go outside and touch some bugs and you’ll be desensitized to them in no time. i took an entomology class in college and therefore had to handle lots of buggos for a few months. i wasn’t phobic or anything but did get mild heebie jeebies from bugs touching me and by the end of the semester i could handle bugs without a problem. just touch some bugs bro, you’ll feel better.
