It’s another slow motion video 😁 I saved this stink bug from my cat’s water bowl on the balcony and he was drying his wings for a while and testing them out. Plus sound! 😁

Wow, another great video! I so rarely see stink bugs with their wings extended. And the fluttery noises! Wonderful, thank you so much for sharing 🖤

Today I found this beautiful fungus beetle (Gibbifer californicus) while walking on campus. I saw a purple speck flying and HAD to know what sort of bug it was.

Why did Billie Eilish have to make me say, quite seriously, 'spider containment chamber in her mouth hole' while disputing with a friend about whether or not the tarantula stunt in her recent video was real or not? Because that's the only possible way I can imagine it would be safe for either of them. Old world Tarantulas would probably be too jittery, new world Tarantulas could give her throat a bristle coating, and I don't see that working out well for either of them.

I had to look up the video you're talking about and watching it gave me so much anxiety cause I was so worried the tarantulas would fall off of her fksjfjfk. I dont know if it was real, but its definitely not the first time I've seen someone put a tarantula in their mouth. But it really just doesnt seem safe for anyone, can you imagine tarantula hairs in your throat? Hell noo

Would you be ok with me reblogging your beautiful spider pics to my ‘horror’ blog? I personally adore Ts and find them super cute but I thought it better to avoid arachnophobia as that blog is for everything not conventionally cute and pastel. Wanted to make sure because I can see how someone putting your pets on a horror/edgy blog could be seen as offensive!

Absolutely! Ty I appreciate you asking 💖💖
