wild that staff is porting the worst genes (mosaic / breakup) to more breeds when spool / thread, ragged / tear, chevron / arrow, and hawkmoth / sphinxmoth are still limited to a single breed. /lh

in reference to your tag on the butterfly steinspirit, do you have flight rising scrys or dragons for spirit (or any soul eater character) or is it just vibes rn? i'm nosy

OH BOY AM I GLAD YOU ASKED

here is my current spirit fandragon!! he's obsidian/blood/obsidian and i love him very dearly though i wish his eyes were lightning or water instead of shadow. i did the sphinxmoth because i think it looks vaguely like his suit and the thorns because of his scythe form! i almost did warrior for his tertiary but i decided on thorns cause it matches with the red really well. and the spires secondary just pulls it all together imo

and here's a scry i'm workshopping for maka :D obv shes a veilspun like her dad and i had her keep his genes but w different colors and a different tertiary. i think diaphanous works well cause of the wing motif she eventually gets. honestly i dislike the eye color but i can't find another one that would fit better. i'm planning on her being a permababy too

last but not least, here's my scry for stein that i've been breeding towards for the past few months. i originally had him as a mirror so i could give him a cool outfit but imo the augment tertiary is just too good to pass up it looks like stitches and everything. i gave him the wrought + spire because i think it looks vaguely like stitching too lol. still only on my second generation of breeding though..

anyway yes i am wormboytrav on flight rising as well and i love my fan dragons so so much thank you for asking

Week 19 Observations

5.7.25

Vine Sphinx Moth

Eumorpha vitis

Observed at Galveston Island State Park 5.4.25 and 8.24.24. It is native to this area as well as commonly found across Texas, Arizona, Mississippi down to Argentina.

They can fly up to 30 mph making it one of the fastest flying insects. They can hover like a hummingbird when getting nectar. Their tongue, or proboscis, is one of the longest among butterflies and moths, this allows them to reach further for the nectar deep down in tubular flowers.

They are most active at night and are attracted to light.

The caterpillars, or hornworms, can be very destructive to plants especially grapevines. They are not dangerous to humans. They can be pests as caterpillars but also plays an important role in the pollination of grapevines.

5.8.25

Ruby-throated Hummingbird

Archilochus colubris

Observed 5.8.25 at Galveston Island State Park. They are not native to this area though are common during their spring and fall migrations to and from Central America where they winter.

They are the only birds that besides flying forward also have the ability to fly backwards and hover in place. Their wings beat up to 50 times a SECOND allowing them to make precise movements.

To keep up with their high metabolism, they consume their weight in nectar and insects daily. They prefer red or orange, tubular flowers and are attracted to feeders with red nectar. They play a vital part in plant reproduction because they transfer pollen while visiting a hundred flowers per day getting nectar. They see color so well they can also see into the ultraviolet spectrum.

They make a rapid, squeaky chirp, usually when they feel threatened. Their average lifespan is about 4 years.

5.9.25

Coral Bean

Erythrina herbacea

Observed at Galveston Island State Park 5.8.25. It is native, ranging from Texas, along the Gulf of Mexico coasts, to South Carolina.

The bright red, tubular flowers attract hummingbirds and butterflies when it blooms in spring. There are small, curved thorns on the stems and leaves that protect the plant from small animals. The leaves constantly turn towards the sun, a process called phototropism.

The seeds are poisonous but the young leaves and flowers are safe to eat after boiling. Native Americans have used the coral bean for purposes such as for laxatives and to increase perspiration. In Mexico, the seeds have been used to paralyze fish and as a rat poison.

They have the potential to become invasive, rapidly spreading through seed production.

5.10.25

Decollate Snail

Rumina decollata

Observed 5.10.25 at home on Galveston. It’s a nonnative species and was introduced to North America from North Africa for pest control of brown garden snails. They are omnivores and because they eat plants as well as other invertebrates they are prohibited from areas like the Pacific Northwest so protect native snail species.

They are most active at night or during rainy weather and will hide under leaf litter and soil to keep from drying out. They can burrow deep in the soil to survive cold and dry periods.

They mature quickly at about 10 months and start laying eggs. They are hermaphrodites which enables them to self fertilize but they often mate with another snail before laying up to 500 eggs in their lifetime.

The mantle (area of tissue between the body and shell) of the snail secretes layers of calcium carbonate along the opening edge of the shell, growing in length and width as the snail grows. Unlike most snails, it loses the older whorls of the shell giving it the characteristic cone shape.

5.11.25

White Ibis

Eudocimus albus

Observed at Galveston Island State Park5.11.25. Native range includes coastal states from Delaware to Texas and down to Central America and the Caribbean.

Highly social species, feeding, nesting and roosting in flocks.

They use their long, curved bills to probe the ground to find prey such as crustaceans, fish and insects. An adaptable species, living in various wetland habitats and urban areas.

They have unique mating rituals that include bathing, group fighting, and head shaking. They build their nests in trees and both parents care for the young.

Ibis species have fossil records dating back millions of years!

5.12.25

Firewheel

Gaillardia pulchella

Observed on Galveston 5.12.25 (and most other days this spring). Native to southern US, Arizona to Florida and northern Mexico.

In the sunflower family. A good source of pollen for native butterflies and bees.

Thrives in sun and partial shade. Heat and drought tolerant. Is a low maintenance, short lived perennial that can easily spread its seeds to reproduce. Can grow up to 2 ft and found in fields, disturbed areas and along roadsides.

5.13.25

Lilac Chaste Tree

Vitex agnus-castus

Observed at Lafitte’s Cove in Galveston and also at my apartment complex 5.11.25. Nonnative plant, introduced from the Mediterranean area.

If not maintained it could become invasive in warmer climates. Its fragrant flowers attract all kinds of pollinators making it an important ornamental addition to landscapes.

It has been used both for culinary and medicinal purposes. In the kitchen the leaves and fruits have been used for spice or in spice blends. Medically, it has traditionally been used to help with menopause, menstrual and premenstrual issues.
