I MADE THE THINGGG
This song has been stuck in my head the moment the episode launched. So naturally, I covered it! (cool™)
How is byler nation doing 😭
day 2
The final three of Ben's original set of SpecEvo aliens, with a brand new alien in Amorpho! Ben unlocks him during the first Limax invasion via Xylene and Tetrax putting in a life form lock code for Limax DNA. Ben infiltrated the Limax fleet for a month and defeated them from within. This would be his last major adventure before the Malware incident would force him to seek out Azmuth's assistance in removing the Omnitrix. For four years, Ben lived a normal life... then, a new threat arrived that forced Ben back to work...
🐌 SNAIL (Limax) "The snail’s secret is that even the greatest treasures in the world can be reached… if you give yourself enough time."
Snail A symbol of paradox—both burdened and blessed.
It carries the weight of the world: Cowardice, the clinging to what is fleeting,Desire that clouds the soul, False paths dressed in truth, And the slow-burning ache of unspoken suffering.
Yet within it, too, lies patience. A sacred stillness. The strength to withdraw, The wisdom of restraint, The art of moving slowly—deliberately—through life.
Those whose journeys are inward. Not all motion is movement. Not all slowness is weakness.
Symbolic meaning: To meet the snail—whether in dream or in waking—is to be reminded: You are extraordinary in your own quiet way. Be gentle. Be mindful. Be aware of your steps. Carry yourself with care, for the sacred walks beside you.

Day 26 of posting cute creatures we found on our field trip:
Ash slug (Limax cinereoniger) is the largest slug in Europe and, according to the Guinness book of records, the longest terrestrial slug in the world. Despite its formidable size of up to 30cm (!) this slug is not a pest. It lives only in ancient forests, far away from human settlements and feeds on lichen, moss and fungi. The colors of ash slug vary from this light grey to black, but it always has light colored keel on its back.
The internet has nicknamed this slug “glubby” because if you pick it up it curls up in its defensive pose and produces sticky mucus which makes it look very… well, glubby:
