Welcome to Bluesky, newbies. If you're following me I hope you love Bugs.

Enjoy a Baby Mantis March 🖤

Found another Attidops nickersoni this afternoon, and he's such a perky lump 🥹
I've only seen 4 of these tiny stripy children. Babies. 🤎

Small dark jumping spider whose face is all big eyes, peering up at you from a bit of pine bark Top view of the tiny creature, he's stubby and dark brown with 2 horizontal yellow stripes on his abdomen

I mean
Weird long pale creature with maybe a tiny red eyespot? Waving the abdomen around like a tail Closer shot of the creature's head, showing the tiny red spot, and small stubby antennae

i don't think ted needed to say all this but it's very cool he did!

I don't believe I've ever seen Ted Levine speak so candidly about his regrets of portraying Buffalo Bill in THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS. He and some of the crew on the film were asked about the film's cultural transphobia by The Hollywood Reporter.

www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...
Levine did not have concerns while making the movie but has developed a fuller understanding of the trans experience in the ensuing decades. "It's just over time and having gotten aware and worked with trans folks, and understanding a bit more about the culture and the reality of the meaning of gender.", says the actor, "It's unfortunate that the film vilified that, and it's fucking wrong. And you can quote me on that.".

I've got so many more scorp skins right now ready to be put in things 😍

Experimenting with things: scorpion ghost earring
(time for me to get my ears pierced, in other words 👀)

(No scorpions were harmed in this process, as always, these are simply their old exoskeletons I find under tree bark)
Black heart-shaped earring in the palm of my hand The earring under uv light, showing two baby scorpion exuviae embedded in the resin, tails curled in the "lobes" of the heart

This man is built with singular purpose (finding ladies from great distances)
Small orange wasp male who's basically a small battery powering a set of antennae longer than his body, a pair of wings, and a packet of genetic material. Anything else is more or less vestigial

Little an't man, being a long derpy creature this afternoon ❤️
(Synemosyna formica, ant mimic jumping spider, of course)
#EmotionalSupportSpood
Little red ant-like jumping spider, big eyes peering over his big boxing glove-like sub-adult palps. His face is 99% eye pair Top view of the little man on a palmetto frond, waving his 1st leg pair like antennae. He's very long and looks like an ant

Tomorrow is the beginning of the Year of the Horse.

Unfortunately this is the Horse.
Bojack Horseman. Basically a human man body and the head of a brown horse with a white forehead diamond patch and muzzle. He’s wearing a blue sweater under a gray sport coat as he sits at a desk in a wood paneled office with a bottle of whisky and two filled tumblers in front of him and another bottle visible on a side table behind him. Hanging on the wall behind him is a horseman parody of a famous David Hockney swimming pool painting.

A pair of slender leptogaster robberflies, attached ass to ass as flies often so for bug sex; the female is clutching an oak twig, while the male is free-floating upside behind her, legs flailing

Look I know I said Boneyard Beach wasn't named so because of all the boning going on, but I'd like to amend that statement

I have no idea how many worms are present in this orgy, diversifying the gene pool in the tide pool
#BugSex
Tangle of various long thin pale worms, looking very much like entrails spilled on a rock (sorry, I don't know how else to describe it) Close shot of the worm orgy. Eggs and sperm are visible through their skin

I love how male leptogaster robberflies don't even pretend to be in charge of sexy time. Just dangling off the end of the female. They saw the life cycle of those male anglerfish on a documentary and thought hey that's not half bad.
🌿 🪰 #BugSex
Two slender brown robberflies with a damselfly-ish body plan; female at rest on a dried stalk, male attached to her, ass to ass, just hanging there, legs flailing. Trees and blue sky visible above Closer view of the pair, from the side. Leptogaster have ridiculously long hind legs
