Look, all you science-types classifying “bugs” with your “science names”. Just stop it. The truth is out there. Those are fairies and you know it.

Jeweled flower mantis? That’s a fairy.

Lace bug? Nice try, government. FAIRY.

Satin moth? FUCK YOU. FAIRY.

I love libraries SO much. If any of you see my book at your library can you please take a picture of it for me??? I haven't had the chance to hang out at a library properly for a few years so when we moved back to NZ it was on my priority list haha. The number of books that I take out at a time is definitely an exaggeration HAHA but I do often take out a few very heavy ones at the same time and it feels like a workout to bring them home. Searching through books always feels like an exciting treasure hunt.
