when i get my hands on Liam O'Brien i'm making him pay all my therapy bills
like. LIKE. look at his face. the sudden surprise as jester invades his space and proceeds to RUTHLESSLY unravel and acknowledge his pain after the traumatic events of the day, the way he's so carefully tucked away all emotions and tried to move on without worrying the group. look how quickly the layers all crumble away, how emotional and vulnerable and small he looks, how for a second we see Caleb Widogast without all his layers. if i had any power at all to do so i would give this man a thousand oscars and then ask for a milion dollars to compensate for the emotional damage he has wrought me
I was coming back in after a disappointing night at the lights last week, and came across this glorious chonkbeast on some Virginia creeper growing under my porch. This is a Pandora sphinx moth caterpillar (Eumorpha pandorus). Look at its squishy little donut feeties!!
These gorgeous insects are a prime example of why you shouldn't touch strangers. Coming into contact with the larvae of these fascinating moths can leave you with sharp, brittle spikes in your skin that administer a poison that causes itchy welts all over your skin. But besides the horrors, they really are quite lovely! These moths can be found across Mozambique, South Africa, Tanzania and Zimbabwe, and usually show up in Spring, though they tend to flourish in mid-summer. These insects don't have much information about them, but their colors speak volumes!
At a glance, you might think you can easily distinguish a butterfly from a moth. But take a closer look. There are colorful moths and day-flying moths that can throw you for a loop! Next time you come across a member of the Order Lepidoptera, use these tips from Insectarium host Dr. Jessica L Ware.
