I just learned (from microbiologist boyfriend) about this Japanese scholarly journal called "Genes to Cells" which does these incredible cover images inspired by classic Japanese art. The mitosis with cats!!!!

Moths in genus Calyptra have a particular hunger.

A hunger... for BLOOD!

The 'vampire moths' have specialized mouth-parts for puncturing fruit and drinking the juice, but the males, in order to obtain nutrients needed for reproduction, will also pierce mammals (including humans) & drink OUR juice.

Image from Zaspel et al. (2007), "Image of Calyptra thalictri feeding on human thumb (VK); frontal view (Vial 4)."
"Another Blood Feeder? Experimental Feeding of a Fruit-Piercing Moth Species on Human Blood in the Primorye Territory of Far Eastern Russia (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae: Calpinae)"

I know some cats and dogs get favourite toys and make it eat with them, but I think it's interesting the cat recognises the snake toy having a face

If you know basic kabbalah it's actually not too hard to make a golem out of a labubu. Don't recommend it though. They have a pre-existing body-dharma. As soon as they wake they run straight for the sea. V hard to counter. Lost the first one. No idea what it's doing out there. Moved like lightning.
