[pleistocene-pride]

 The Lesser Fruit Fly (Drosophila melanogaster), also known as the vinegar fly, the pomace fly, the common fruit fly, or simply the fruit fly, is a species of fly in the family Drosophilidae which was originally endemic to Africa but has since spread to every continent on earth with the sole exception of Antarctica as well as nearly every island on earth. They are found in a wide variety of habitats and are only really limited due to temperature and availability of water. As the name implies, the fruit flies feed primarily on fruit as well as vegetables, and the leaves, flowers, and stems of various plants. They are themselves eaten by a wide variety of other insects, arachnids, crustaceans, fish, carnivorous plants, amphibians, birds, reptiles, and small mammals. The fruit fly is normally a yellow brown (tan) color, and is only about 3 mm in length and 2 mm in width. The shape of the common fruit fly's body is what one would normally imagine for a species of the order Diptera. It has a rounded head with large, red, compound eyes; three smaller simple eyes, and short antennae. Its mouth has developed for sopping up liquids, and has a chitinous exoskeleton comprised of three main body segments, a single pair of wings, and three pairs of segmented legs. The female is slightly larger than the male. There are black stripes on the dorsal surface of its abdomen, which can be used to determine the sex of an individual, with males having darker stripes. Reproduction in Drosophila is rapid and year round. A single pair of flies can produce hundreds of offspring within a couple of weeks, and the offspring become sexually mature within one week. The female lays dozens of eggs at a time which she places on fruit, these soon hatch into fly larvae (maggots), which instantly start consuming the fruit on which they were laid. Under ideal conditions a lesser fruit fly may live 3-4 months.

Sometimes you need to protest against meaningless negativity in your life. And sometimes that protest is telling youtube not to recommend channels that phrase their titles as, "STOP KILLING your storebought BASIL" when they could just as easily phrase their title as, "HOW TO keep storebought BASIL ALIVE"

It's a small thing, but I always do it because it makes me feel less like the entire planet sucks.

Opened a pot of cold cream to moisturize my face and there were three--count 'em, THREE--dead fruit flies embalmed in my lotion. They spontaneously generated under a sealed lid, overnight. I Need To Buy The World's Smallest Gun

"Tarn Anon"

*Transmission straight into Hashtag*

So you are the Terrans that Shockwave has informed us about he was correct, you are inferior. Do not think your fleshlings bond with Megatron will save you and your doomed brood, we will find you and we will terminate you. And just to give you a taste of what you will face.

*Forcibly uploads all the photos of the DJDs past victims*

Hashtag: Oh! A new as-

*Alert going off*

Whoosh!

Hashtag: hu-? Wha- where’d it go? I didn’t accidentally delete it did I??

Tarantulas: Tarn.

Tarantulas: I do not appreciate you threatening my assistant and their siblings. Let alone with want to kill them, or your attempts to traumatize them.

Tarantulas: keep your grimy claws off my little sparks.

Megatron: Tarn. We speak once more.

Megatron: I appreciate your dedication to your assignment from past leaders of the faction, but please remain within your field.

Megatron: As I have detailed to you and your lot, I am very different from my predecessors, and sparklings - such as the Terrans - are very strictly off limits to you all. We went over this with Silver, and Hot Rod.

Megatron: And even so, recall, they are to follow us up one day, when we eventually die off, Tarn. Because we will. No one is immortal.

Megatron: And they are young. Innocent, naive- impressionable. If you want to sway them over -

Megatron: - which is very possible, they have plenty of Decepticon influence, and Nightshade and Thrash both show interest in the Decepticons, who knows the decisions their siblings may make in their stead -

Megatron: Don’t try to scare them away. Yes?

Megatron: And do not take this as either one or the other - this is both your first warning, and my advice in an attempt to help you, if you want to bring the little ones in.

Megatron: The only order I have for you further regarding this matter, is either if you cannot tone yourself down a touch to mind your own, or if you are so keen on getting closer to them you sweeten up a little. I know you can, Tarn.

Megatron: Megatron, out.

Tarantulas: and for the record, nearly all of these messages from you to them, will be directed back to me. So it will be either coordinate with myself and Megatron, or leave. my. littlesparks. ALONE.

Hashtag: that sucks. It must have been deleted by accident somehow…

Tarantulas: do not fret, child. I’m sure a simple apology will be enough for whoever it was.

Hashtag: Whoever you were, I’m sorry! I think tumblr ate it! >A<'

Hashtag: maybe try again later? <:)

My office has a ton of potted plants but one of them has bred fruit flies and they keep flying around my head. It doesn't matter how many I kill, there's an abundance of them 😭

welp, I finally mentioned the checklist of info we've made for the project managers to make sure they send tasks with enough info, and apparently I appeared "too frustrated" while doing so. at least I got to rant to my boss about how we've tried so many times to ask them to do this and they just ignore us.

[itsevanffsbutspam]
