Silly plant nerd, she/ve/they pronouns, will probably post art and cool bugs, current obsessions include cats, snakes, Omori, Deltarune, and others to be included

[cactuskat12]

Just a thought, is headspace in Omori considered dream core? I feel like it should

[cactuskat12]

Got some fairly liminal photos awhile ago, thought they might be worth sharing

Can’t wait for another hot girl summer! Hot girl as in I will be like a baked bean dying of heat stroke, yet still refusing to shed my cosy blankets.

Fish are friends, not fries!

I scream this into the microphone, attempting to annoy those who know anything about the terminology of young fish

I wish I could research bugs without the first few websites being pest control! Bugs are friends. All bugs are friends.

All of my friends that work at wildlife rehab centers have had to untangle animals from this stuff, or had animals brought in that died in it. This is especially nasty for small owl species.

Why would you put fake spiderwebs outside your home anyways? Do what my family does and use them as indoor decorations, it's easier to clean up that way and it makes the living room look cool.

Good to know for us animal lovers, if you’re going to use them please keep it to decir inside the house, not out!

Does Decorative Spider Webbing Pose a Danger to Wildlife?

The classic Halloween decor can be a silent threat to furry friends if displayed unsafely.

"As autumn advances, leaves begin to fall from trees and a chill runs through the air, making it increasingly clear the spooky season is upon us. But as people decorate for Halloween, they may be setting up a trick rather than a treat for surrounding critters: That fake spider webbing commonly seen across the country every October is just as effective at trapping critters as a real web is.

Kathryn Dudeck, the wildlife director at Georgia's Chattahoochee Nature Center, told Snopes via phone that fake spider webbing, normally made out of a synthetic, fiber-like polyester, is similar to tightly woven fiberglass.

"The webbing actually adheres to the skin of a toad," she said. "For raptors and songbirds, it sticks to their feathers and then settles in between them, almost like velcro." ...

Dudeck said that animals most at risk with fake cobwebs are small birds, including hummingbirds and small owls, bats and reptiles, like toads...

The danger of fake webs doesn’t immediately go away after Halloween, either. A 2019 article from the Australian Broadcasting Corporation explains that if not properly disposed of, birds might use the material to build their nests. In a worst-case scenario, the webbing could catch and trap any chicks in the nest. The solution to all of this is fairly easy: stop using fake webs outside.

Instead, consider moving the webbing indoors, perhaps behind a window so it’s still visible. If you are set on creating a web outdoors, Dudeck recommended making one out of rope and ensuring you've left ample space between strands to mitigate the risk to wildlife."

The average age in the Vatican is around 60, however many claim that unborn Georg is an outlier and should not be counted.

I can’t stop drawing hollow knight characters at the moment, so here is Hornet on Wplace
