Please appreciate these gay beetles I found in a 1986 paper

#sorry this blog is on life support #i'm moving up in the mealworm industry #my thesis on their welfare was so good my supervisor shared it with a bunch of her colleagues across the world and i'm on cloud 9 :) #anyways now i'm writing a summary of their reproductive behavior so: beetle yaoi #mod poppy

Fishing spider's first visit to the ocean with his friend the tiger beetle! He got bored with his riverside environment and the tales of the ocean from his friend got to his head and there they went ☀️🐟

More Jaime with mantis blades

#it takes a while for him to get used to them (and. you know. not freak out over having an entirely new appendage) but once he does they #-become a pretty usual part of life #I also have a comic in the works of what happens when they finish developing #lots of blood and crying on the bathroom floor #it’s gonna be a good time #jaime reyes #khaji da #blue beetle #my art #sketch #blue beetle 2023 #mantis blades au

@onenicebugperday Bit of an unfortunate update, but not without hope.

A week ago as of posting this, Green Bean Casserole had a pretty severe mismolt. I think they fell and got stuck behind their favorite stick in an awkward position after leaving the exuviae. I only found and assisted them the next morning, but by then their exoskeleton had already hardened up. Thankfully all of their limbs are intact and functional, but, well... The situation is far from ideal, as you’ll see.

At first I was pretty worried they wouldn���t make it; they seemed to be struggling to move around due to the deformity, falling when climbing and generally looking wobbly. I moved them to a different terrarium set up for my flat headed snake Absinthe, both because of the softer substrate and the lack of skinks that might be bold and attempt to take advantage of a weakened mantis. I wasn’t even sure if food would be able to pass through their system, and they had no interest in prey at all, which wasn’t a good sign. However, with some adjustments to the layout of the temporary terrarium I moved them to, they did climb and manage to hang from the lid with some effort. GBC seemed like they were a fighter, and the day after the bad molt they accepted and ate a grasshopper, so I decided to see if I could get them to their next molt and hopefully allow them to recover.

They’ve since adapted to their new shape, and I’ve moved them back to their usual terrarium for easier monitoring and better sun access. They’re climbing and hanging without falling, eating well, and drinking water droplets from the screen lid when I water the terrarium. I’d say they’re about as close to thriving as they could be in this situation! Here’s how they’re looking today. Ignore the escapee grasshopper in the background, its jailbreak was short lived…

I do feel a bit mean for making this comparison, but…

There’s a bit of a resemblance, isn’t there?

#rambling #insects #bugs #praying mantis #mantis #carolina mantis #they’re doing much better than they were #I’m confident they’ll make it to the next molt #really my only worry is whether they’ll be able to successfully complete it with the unusual shape they have #just have to wait and see when the time comes #overall I’d say it’s kinda just business as usual for them: eating bugs and hanging out watching the world below #and getting watered by accident sometimes #the worst that’s happened since the mismolt was being aggressively accosted by a Texas ironclad beetle #which is to say it had climbed onto the lid and slowly meandered up to them #and they responded by trying to smack it away only to end up falling themselves #the beetle was of course unfazed and continued on its way before climbing back down on the other side #life for the cow bugs is slow and simple…

Blue Beetle is my favorite DC film I think???? Where tf did DC pull this from???? How did they have fail after fail and then create this masterpiece????

#it was camp #it had heart #I was sobbing #I was laughing #it’s got an 80s vibe #it’s aware of its own silliness but still manages to stay grounded #jaime reyes #I would give my life for him #blue beetle #fuck the justice league #let Jaime lead this shit #he’s their star

I have always known the beetles I work with can fly, like in theory, but they never have in the two years I’ve been on the project.

So imagine my surprise when I got swarmed by them at 11 in the fucking morning today.

#I was just doing my little tasks #and I opened the lid to their enclosure #to check on them #and BOOM #20-30 flying beetles #who have NEVER done that before #I have never left a lab so quickly in my life #I say lab #it is a shed out back of the science building #science #research scientist #biologist #dermestid beetle #research #insect #insects #entomology #beetles #beetleposting #college #university #biology #text post

made a quick visual of the BDFB life cycle for my experimental design class project. figured it looked nice enough to share here ^^

there's only four stages (egg -> larva -> pupa -> adult), but i decided to make the graphic with more detail bc it's relevant to my project :-)

No Ted story kills me quite in the way L.A.W. #5&6 does

His big old guilt and responsibility complex !!!!! This is why is rebirth origin doesn't really work. The Blue Beetle name being something he chose on a whim? Superheroing being something he just decided to do?? No!! He was given the BB legacy by Dan in his dying breath, and upheld it out of guilt !!

And him finally being able to recognise he didn't need to carry around all that guilt... that he needs to find out who he is other than legacies thrust upon him... oughh (of course, like Vic said, change doesn't occur easily... and the legacy ended up killing him anyways...)

#“can I have my life back now?” ohhhh teddy........ #also. i LIKE ted and vic's friendship :) #ted kord #dan garrett #blue beetle #vic sage #dc comics #someone sedate me im thinking about the middle aged comic man again !!!
