A friend came to join me for lunch! Could you tell me a little about him? We're in Tampa FL!
WEEVIL TIME. It's a broad-nosed weevil in the genus Pachnaeus, probably a blue-green citrus root weevil. As the name implies, the larvae feed on the roots of citrus plants and are only considered a minor pest, as in they don't do a ton of damage.

A dazzling, multicolored cuticle (below)
The shiny chitinous armor of this pseudoscorpion, known unsurprisingly as scissorhands, hides a tiny insectivore. This animal appears frightening, but unlike true scorpions, its stinger is not poisonous.
To the naked eye, this green immigrant leaf weevil appears to have a green cuticle. A closer look reveals that dense, chitinous scales give it color.

Listen to me. galadriel is a prince of the noldor she is like the only one that survives to the time when there is any possibility of being forgiven and going home but she says No thank you. I do not need your charity handouts. and she is rival to feanaro and several thousand years later she would put some silmaril light in a jar for a little freak with ZERO consequences or curses or kinslaying or shipburning, this was literally just a skill issue feanor. it's literally just you. she is literally perfectly quil because tolkien's sexism and his noldo fetish canceled out exactly perfectly to create her. when hamlet says "in thy orisons be all my sins remembered" and i in high school thought he meant "be a living monument to my sins"? she kind of is.
and when she gets to doriath she falls in love with a character who, so far as i can recall, does not have a single speaking line. you tell me there's not something hideously erotically wrong with him that jirt was just too catholic to perceive
