This is what the emerald ash borer larvae tunnelling looks like beneath the bark of an infested tree.

2024, quilted jacquard weaving, cotton batting, thread

illustration-turned-weaving-turned-quilt, inspired by elm bark beetle feeding galleries in fallen elm trees I often see on my hikes. They are responsible for spreading the fungus that causes dutch elm disease. I traced the pattern with my free motion foot to quilt, and the puffiness of the shapes turned almost topographical in the process.

Sky will bonk chain members in the head with his scarab. It is inevitable. The bonk comes for all.

Sky can't pilot it well enough to directly pickpocket, but it can often be seen with legend's hat in its jaws. Not for long though as sheerow has given legend more than enough practice at wrangling his possessions back from airborne bastards.

i desperately wish gw2 had more food-centric lore. i think about asura food more than is probably particularly reasonable. they're sort of implied to like molecular gastronomy in the lvl500 chef quests which is fitting and makes sense, but surely not every asura is eating bespoke Pea Spheres day in and day out right? i think my favorite angle on them is a sort of 50s-80s american-esque food style where there's a huge emphasis on things being Convenient and Scientific, so you'd get a lot of absolute slop tv dinners and canned items that have labels boasting how they were nutritionally fortified and contained your day's complete vitamin intakes and so on. a lot of jellied things. i do also fully believe they would have + eat soylent.

O maior gorgulho da América do Norte, o gorgulho da palmeira (palmetto weevil). Rhyncophorus cruentatus é um inseto nativo da Flórida, mas foi encontrado até o sul do Texas, a oeste, e na Carolina do Sul , ao norte. é mais ativo no final da primavera e no início do verão.

Os gorgulhos da palmeira acasalam na base dos galhos da palmeira, onde as fêmeas depositam seus ovos. As larvas então comem a palmeira, matando-a. Depois que as larvas se transformam em gorgulhos adultos, os danos podem ser vistos, mas a essa altura, é considerado tarde demais para a árvore.
