In 3rd grade (1989 or so), my G&T class were given an assignment to each do a presentation on an animal whose name started with a letter assigned by the teacher. There were only like 9 of us but I ended up with X. (In retrospect I figure this was because our teacher knew I was an incorrigible animal nerd who loved a challenge.)

So I hit the books—yes, the actual physical books—and in the encyclopedia volume containing X I struck gold: I learned of the existence of Xenopeltis unicolor, the sunbeam snake, and it instantly became my favorite reptile.

It still is today.

And as of earlier this month, I have realized yet another childhood dream and obtained a sunbeam snake of my very own.

This is Aurora. She's very docile. Her scales feel kind of like pleather. And photos do not do justice to how intense and vibrant her iridescence is in person.

I am a happy Wyrm.

December 15, 2024 - Tickell's Thrush (Turdus unicolor) Found in parts of Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, and Pakistan, these thrushes live in mountain forests. They eat earthworms, insects, and fruit, foraging on the ground, sometimes in loose flocks. Breeding between April and August, they probably raise two broods a year, building deep cup-shaped nests from fibers, moss, ferns, roots, dry stems and leaves, rootlets or horsehair, and sometimes mud in trees, bushes, or holes in banks. Females lay clutches of three to five eggs.

Conifer Bark Beetles (Boros unicolor), larvae, taken February 26, 2025, in Georgia, US

I spent like two hours running around peeling the bark off of fallen pine trunks and found tons of these bad boys. I had no idea that they existed or what they were until I found them, but they're kind of epic! They remind me of if a beetle and an earwig had a child, but a termite became involved somewhere along the way. Just a weird mixture of morphological traits, though they're perfectly adapted for life under pine bark!

You can see the individual in the video almost snag the smaller insect as a snack. I came across one shortly after this eating a potworm!
