I sneezed last night, like actually sneezed. I usually try to hide it when it's happening because otherwise-

-the peanut gallery will have opinions

As you may recall, our researcher Henry had taken in some larvae he found disturbing his garden. At the time of discovery, they were estimated to be about 1-2 weeks old. He continues to provide them much love and affection, among other necessities, as they approach the ripe ol' age of 5 weeks since discovery (so about 7 weeks old).

Glad to say they have been very slowly growing from their diet of fruits and other divine nectars. They are also starting to learn that they like this new lifestyle and can be a bit too pampered at times.

My mom showed me an in-progress picture of an amigurumi Phoenix she’s making. We call it The Larvae

Someone is learning to ask for pets

I need you all to know that the birds are spoiled (I know you know but you don't KNOW). I need you to know that I have little glass "bowl" leftover from some fancy bitch(tm) pudding I got a few years ago, and every night the birds jump up to their roost for bed, and I fill the bowl with Very cold water, and I hold my phone's flashlight up to the bowl, and they all clamor to drink from the Super Special Glowing Water Bowl. They HAVE water, they could drink water before going to bed. But they don't. And I can't use other bowls, they might or might not drink from them, and it's usually not. They want their magical little bedtime drinkies from this specific bowl.

Unfortunately this is the best video I could get for you, using a flashlight instead of my phone, but I hope we can bring a little whimsy to your dashboard tonight.

(Bug and the Larvae would also like to remind you to go get some water and drink it from your most special glass with them, because you deserve fancy little bedtime drinkies, too)
