(Dryinidae, the pincer wasps, are wasps with grabby hands: little folded "nutcracker" claws on their 1st leg pair. For wasp reasons. They're also ant mimics, and females have zero (0) wings)

u should talk abt the saw shark!!!

You got it!

Common sawshark (Pristiophorus cirratus)

Size: Up to 112 cm (44in)

Range & Habitat: Common sawsharks can be found in the Indian Ocean and southern Australian waters. They can be found in open water as well as along coastal areas.

Other: One of 9 species of sawshark, the common or longnose sawshark is identifiable by thier protruding snout, edged with teeth, and two barbels coming off of it. They are relatively small and typically eats crustaceans it finds on the seafloor, then smacks with its snout to eat.

It is also important to note that sawsharks in general are different from sawfish! Sawfish are not sharks at all, but a family of rays. You can distinguish one from the other because the sharks have gills on the side of their bodies while the sawfish have their gills on the bottom. Also, the sawfish tend to be larger. Here's a largetooth sawfish, which can grow to 7.5 meters (25 feet), for comparison.

I took some time out after a few weeks of medical mayhem. And coming back to regular work today is, well, whew.

& All of that feels so small compared to just about everything in the world right now.

My brain is reeling.

So have some nice insects anyway while I try to get back to this place 🙃💚
