Tumblr media Tumblr media
Saturnia pavonia, the small emperor moth, is a moth of the family Saturniidae. It was first described by Carl Linnaeus in his 1758 10th edition of Systema Naturae. Sometimes, the incorrect genus name Pavonia is still used for this species. This moth occurs throughout the Palearctic region and is the only member of its family to be found in the British Isles, where it is usually called simply the emperor moth.

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

BUG OF THE DAY
BotD 12 - 04/02/24 It's not tomorrow yet!!
This is the Southern African Slug moth!
Tumblr media
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.
Learn more about butterflies in Insectarium on the PBS Terra YouTube channel.

Happy International Asexuality Awareness Day! 💜♠️
Asexuality was never something that I seriously considered myself having, but a couple of weeks ago, things sort of just fell into place for me. I feel that in a lot of circles in my life both past and present, sexual attraction, while not an enforced or demanded, has felt like an expected thing. Whether in a focused or more casual sense, I think there's a general atmosphere of sexual attraction being a typical development in life, which of course it is - but not for everyone!
And so for the longest time, I waited for the moment when things would click for me as well; where I would have the same level of enthusiasm and excitement that I saw in others. But I've found that my strongest feelings of intimacy could thrive in something other than sexual attraction, and I've found happiness in that. I never once put these things together through the lens of asexuality, but I think the build-up of experiences throughout my life has meant that it's been easy to do so now.
If I could describe it, it would be like coming to a well-placed reveal at the end of a novel or film - Nothing about the details or events up until the reveal have changed, only now they feel so much more significant for being in this new light.
I wanted to do a little drawing to celebrate this realisation, as well as a celebration of every other ace out there, however you identify! 😊
