hello my dears... last post for a while now... angelic yellow tussock (Euproctis lutea)

so the way it positions its legs just reminds me so much of an angel... like the front legs above its head like its waving, middle legs out front like a hug, and then the back legs straight down like actual human legs

the tinniest and fluffiest tussock ive seen... it looked like a piece of dirt on the wall... only sprouting legs and eyes on closer inspection

also... i have an important announcement to make... im going to be gone for a while but ill be back

due to certain unavoidable changes in my life i wont be posting as frequently...

but i plan on collabing with some other big names on tumblr and returning with even better shots... so please continuing following me and staying tuned <3
