I am once again blown away by Mother Nature. I just spent a few minutes looking for insects among the leaves on this hand before realizing that they are ALL insects. Scientists suggest the insects began to mimic the appearance of leaves, flowers, and twigs thanks to random genetic mutations and it has allowed them to hide away in vegetation to escape predators for millions of years. 

(Were you able to find Oakleaf Butterfly, Orchid Mantis, Stick Insect and 2 Leaf Insects in the above photo?)

I won a Silkwing adoptable from a draw-to-enter egg raffle on instagram and I thought heck, why not ship her with my leafwing/silkwing oc Oak?

These are my butterfly lesbian ocs, Oakleaf and Portman. They're two side characters who have half a line of dialogue between them but since they were standing next to each other in that one scene Tui went on twitter and said they were lesbians. This series has gr8 representation
