Hello, hello! It has been some time once again! I have been quite busy, I apologize! My collecting has also been quite slow. Most of my findings have been within my own home!

I have begun keeping a lot of my occlupanids in a binder that has sleeves normally for trading cards! I put them in little slips that I individually stick inside the sleeves and label with the name of said occlupanid!

So far, and unsurprisingly, Palpatophora Utiliformus is the most common variation that I have found. It's subspecies, Utiliformus Grandis, is the second most common!

I must also note we have gone up to three followers on this blog! I am ecstatic!

I know my hobbies and interests are not very... "Normal!" But to know that people enjoy my strange ramblings puts a smile on my face! My boyfriend has been quite happy to see me delighted like this! I am as well, I have quite a lot of fun telling you all about my strange little hobbies! And I hope that you all will continue to enjoy them! Thank you so much!

I am so sorry for my late post! I originally began to plan to make weekly posts about my findings, but I found myself becoming just too busy to make my usual postings! I must also note that I am so excited to have one whole follower, it makes me so, so happy! However, I do have some big updates and fun finds!

As stated in my previous entry, Toxodentidae seems to be the primary species found in the supermarket I call my workplace, as I have discovered three more of these common white Porrectofrontus Mechadeus!

However, I have also found some differently colored Porrectofrontus Mechadeus specimens!

I must stress that the blue specimen (Pictured right) was a find in my own home! It is also much brighter blue in person, but my camera seems to have made the colors struggle to come through. How sad!

Another delightful find from my own home was this yellow Archignathidae (Also called "First Tooth!") that's color was also sadly diminished thanks to my photography! It is such a vivid yellow in person! It's heart shaped teeth simply fascinate and delight me, it is just so adorable! This adorable yellow specimen is, in particular, a member of the subfamily Quadratopalpus ilex! The English Muffins they had found themselves attached to were also quite tasty!

I shall keep my eyes out for more fantastic specimen here soon and should hopefully have another weekly post coming! I hope to update you all soon!

My first proper post! Absolutely superb!

I started this blog to begin journaling about my discoveries of occlupanids within my workplace! So far, I have discovered six specimen!

Originally, I was of the belief that our supermarket was only home to members of the common Toxodentidae (AKA "Curved Tooth!") family! This is due to the fact that I have so far collected two members of the subfamily Palpatophora Utiliformis Grandis, one of the subfamily Palpatophora Utiliformis, and two of the subfamily Porrectofrontus Mechadeus!

However, as of 04/25/23, I have discovered that this is simply incorrect! In fact, I have discovered a member of the Corrugatidae (AKA "Wavy!) family! In particular, my discovered specimen seems to be of the Genevertonicus Quimbyi subfamily!

It is a tad filthy, so it shall be cleaned thoroughly, along with the rest of the other specimen before being sorted into the collection proper!

I'm so excited to begin finding more specimen among my workplace!

Welcome!

I am Ena! I am a gender apathetic individual who uses any and all pronouns, even neopronouns!

This blog is all about occlupanid collecting! What are occlupanids you may ask? Quite simply, they are bread clips! I became interested in them after discovering the Holotypic Occlupanid Research Group! (HORG for short!) See their website here for more information about their taxonomy and what research they conduct!

I am an amateur collector and researcher working in a supermarket! As such, I have begun to discover many occlupanid subjects throughout the workplace, leading to me beginning to develop a bigger fascination with them! To me, they are like little interesting insectoids that I love to discover more and more about!

I hope you enjoy my strange little corner of the internet! My interests are not very typical, as you can see, but I would love nothing more than to share them with all of you! Have a fantastic day, friends!
