I was possessed by a crafty spirit bleached some shirts the night before we left (and slept 2.5 hrs that night). Mine is the life is a dream album. My dad's is the classic deathbat.

My main purpose when I was in San Fran this weekend was to eat as much fish as possible and wow did I really accomplish my goals 😊

-a bowl of raw tuna with fried wonton chips 1000/10, would eat with a spoon
-fried fish tacos 8/10
-seared ahi tuna bowl 10/10
-raw tuna on top of fried rice 100/10

I have now classified 50! praying mantis (mostly just down to genus).

I have so many pics like this so I can measure the ratio of the little plate between their eyes (the lower frons).

but it's the spines on their forearm that will haunt me in my dreams. The anteroventral tibial spines >:(

I'm learning how to ID 100 different plant families and this is one of my favorite assignments in my degree so far

am I doing too much for it? absolutely. I love it

I'm probably gonna get a lil silly and make a deck of these flashcards for insects too in the summer

man today would be such an amazing day if I didn't have an exam, five hours of lab classes, a disgusting amount of chemistry homework and a final paper first draft due at midnight.
the sun is out, shrimp and green beans for breakfast and just look at my perfect coffee?
too badd

the bees in my head make lists.

I love a good Organizing Nest

I do adore Klei's art vibe (at least from this and don't starve)

obviously this will be hung in the Gamer Zone above my computer so I can remember every time I start a colony it's always for her 💖
