homunculus facts¡

homunculi can dry out and go dormant if we don,t get a fresh supply of the potion regularly• like tadpole shrimp¡

homunculi take double damage from dragon type attacks' but are immune to poison type attacks•

i discovered this week that the power was inside me all along¡ i,m not sure which power' but it sure was there•

a homunculus a day keeps the doctor away•

fossil evidence from the early cenozoic indicates that homunculi from that time still has five distinct digits• adaptations for cursorial locomotion would later reduce this in some groups•

there is mold growing in my little drawer in the lab• it speaks to me of doom•

squonch•

Cleantra of Eden's Clan

Mysterious and guarded! A close-grown hedge made manifest! One wonders what lies beneath the foliage, below the leaves, behind the brambles? Like any good thicket, Cleantra's appearance beckons to the curious -- what's hiding in there? A creature? Many creatures? You won't know until you've looked, but what price the knowledge?

100/10, a very spooky (probably possessed) (probably plant) tundra

This is.. well kinda literally me.. when I am very angry, furious "I'm gonna kill someone" rage, I get so overwhelmed with feelings that I start crying and I hate when people come to me then and say "awww don't be sad..."

I am NOT sad I am so freaking furious that my eyes are leaking !

So for everyone who have the same problem and hate it, here a funny song for all of us. Trying to hold in those ranging, frustrating tears ~

*raises hand* You are in good company. I am in a full-blown rage crier and not afraid to admit it. Whilst I find nothing wrong with it, it is so incredibly frustrating because many become so dismissive or even downright condescending whenever tears are involved.

Fuck off! These tears are my liquid rage!--it's a mood.

Crank this shit and drown them the fuck out.

Stickbugs are adorable and fascinating but I also love that their Order is called Phasmatodea, aka Phasmids. The name refers to their ability to seemingly vanish (by just being hella good at camouflage).

There's debate over whether to call them phasmatodeans or phasmids. I'm on the "phasmids" side because (1) it fits the naming conventions well enough, (2) it's easier to say and write which makes it more accessible, and (3) "phasmid" is cool as hell

also if you're gonna call em phasmatodeans you might as well go with phasmatodes because literally nematodes ain't called nematodeans like come on

#orcspeak #also stickbug eggs look like little pots #also the stealth skill in biology is called ''crypsis'' which is fuckin badass

playing neopets in the year of our lord 2022 is fun and cringe. look at my kids!!!

Day 11 of the 30 Days of Weevils art challenge brings us the lovely Peridinetus cretaceus!

As a part of the Flower Weevil subfamily, this weevil is noted for its very round appearance and long rostrum. The large black-and-white spots on its body create an optical illusion when seen in the wild: the black markings make the weevil's contour difficult to identify, thereby blending it into dark backgrounds as a form of crypsis!

Do you find corn snakes have more personality than some other species?

Hey friend!

Well... Hmm. I don't know that I'd say more personality. I'd say more of the personality traits I personally gravitate towards.

All snakes have personalities and individual preferences and avoidances. I've worked professionally with large snakes, small snakes, and venomous snakes and no two of the same species were exactly alike in terms of temperament. The old belief that a ball python is a living "pet rock" has been dispelled by simply giving these animals appropriate enclosures. Most of the animals we consider "less intelligent" or "primal" by human standards lead rich inner lives that we just can't anthropomorphize into something personally relatable.

North American ratsnakes are generalist hunters, not ambush predators, and they are often secondary or tertiary consumers in their food webs, meaning they're both predator and prey. They are active and curious, sometimes verging on anxious. They want to know what's going on, who's nearby, what they're doing. Is it food? Is it danger?

They tend to rely on crypsis and threat displays for defense, meaning they do not benefit in nature by being overtly aggressive. This makes them a great candidate for captive keeping. The corn snakes we keep in captivity have been selectively bred for tameness and calmness along with color expression over many generations, amplifying their natural proclivity for being pretty chill with humans.

The more time you spend learning about and interacting with an animal, the better you know that animal, right? I gravitated towards corn snakes because of their variety of color morphs and ease of keeping and I've kept corn snakes for 15 years or more, both professionally and as a hobby. Maybe I like the snakes in genus Pantherophis best because I've spent the most time with them and I know their expressions and behaviors well enough to be able to read them.

I'm sure if you were to ask an alternate universe version of me who kept Burmese pythons the same question, I'd give roughly the same answer.
