[im-an-anthusiast]

Rant about your favorite insects and why you like them

Tag someone so I can invade their ask box

@strwbrryluvsick might like an ask!

I typed out. Paragraphs unto paragraphs unto paragraps. And it got deleted. Hsisbsjdbs so much pain

For the sake of my mental health I'll keep to a handful of bullet points, if that's fine!!

Ants

Dracula ants

- often nearly or completely blind

- endemic to Madagascar

- fastest recorded movement in the animal kingdom!! At 90 meters per second/200mph, which they reach in just 0.00015 seconds!

- they don't eat any food! They hunt and feed their larvae and pupae, whose blood (haemolymph) they then drink

Trapjaw ants (my absolute favs)

- they look like they have a beartrap on their face!! :3

- this jaw, when triggered by a super sensitive hair on their face, snaps shut at 63 meters per second, 170-ish mph - second fastest movement in the animal kingdom

- they can use their jaw against heavier objects/surfaces as to launch themselves!! Leap large distances and such!!

- in the same way, their jaws also act as catapults! They can shoot intruders out of their nests!!

- their larvae are spiked, stick to walls, and are very active and agressive

Wasps

Mud dauber

- they're very pretty! Look at em!! So dainty

- build their nests out of mud and dirt

- and since they are parasitic wasps... they paralyse their prey and drag it into their nest. Where they then lay their eggs inside of the nest or inside of the paralysed but still alive prey, and then sealing the nest closed

- reported/speculated to have caused mutliple deadly airplane accidents

Tarantula hawks

- look at that colour scheme! Beautiful!!

- also a parasitic wasp. But their prey are tarantulas.

- in Fallout New Vegas. One of the multiple reasons I got into insects. They're traumatising in that game, though.

- one of the most painful stings of any insect, descibed as "Blinding, fierce and shockingly electric"

Velvet ant (aka cowkiller)

- doesn't have the venom to kill a cow. Obviously. (venom less toxic than that of honeybees.) But the sting is so painful that people thought that it was. Which is super cool and funny

- also dubbed 'the indestructible insect' due to their plethora of defense mechanisms (venomous sting, aposematic colouring (<- warning bright colours), stridulatory organ (<-making sounds (squeaks)), alarm secretion, tough and durable exoskeleton)

- most of simulated conflicts with natural predators resulted in survival of the ant and avoidance by predator (while some are stated to allegedly have killed their natural predator)

- mate in the air. Aren't winged. The males just kinda... taxi them up there

Polyneoptera

Angel insects

- even just the name???

- translucent, cute, small little things

- usually completely blind and flightless, when faced with an unfavourable environment or situation, they produce offspring with fully functioning eyes and wings as to disperse and produce new colonies, where future generations will be also wingless

- (similar to ants a little) (in that point above) (but the spontaneity of if is so cool and unique)

Webspinners

- so cute

- they spin the finest/thinnest silk of any animal! At around 65 nanometers in diameter, if is also waterproof! And, while insects have only 1 silk gland (,if they even have one), they have 300 of em!!

- their nests are called Galleries. Need I say more?

- also their males can't consume food can fly and die quickly. Kinda cool

Ice crawlers

- extremophile.

- like. Extremely.

- preferred temperature of 1 to 4 degrees celsius. More than 5 degrees higher? Death. Too much lower? Death (by ice forming inside their bodies)

- they live on glaciers and stuff!!!

I had an honourable mentions section typed out but it got deleted (again) so much pain. At least the rest of the answer stayed tho

Anyway! Thanks for the ask!!!

tricks or treats or colombos

your columbo is: a mood, for this week

[mansand]

hello i love how you draw ants!! have you ever heard of AntsCanada on yt?? whenever i watch his vids and he gives a dramatic replays of what went down i just see your lil ant characters!!

AntsCanada was definitely my first foray into ant videos, I can tell he's very earnest about his ants and I do still like a few of his stuff, but a lot of his videos are a bit too clickbaity and drawn out in a way. Still good though!! He's one of the few on youtube who can give us a really good high definition look at ants and their behaviour, and he gives them big spacious vivariums. But if you want my favourite ant youtuber (who unfortunately hasn't posted in a while but still) look at Jordan Dean on youtube.

Here's a video of his cute sugar ant colony!

Trick or Treat! 👻

I bought this at the gift shop of a tourist trap

you got ant lollipop! why do they sell these?

[internetaddict104]

Did you ever find a site that has the new Doctor Who episodes? I'm still trying to find one and I've turned to browsing tumblr for answers

No 😭 the sites I usually use don’t have Ncuti’s episodes. I’ve looked under the 2005 DW tab and I’ve looked to see if it’s its own tab since it’s technically season 1, and neither worked 😭.

I just googled it again and saw a few people uploaded it to Dailymotion, but idk how good the quality is or how reliable it is bc I’ve had issues with that site in the past, but I guess that’s what we’ve got so hopefully someone uploaded a good quality version 🤞

I just want to make some gifs I already watched the episodes but I need the screen recordings for giffing 😭

I’m sorry I’m not able to be more helpful

[crazed4rsonist]

OOH OOH can you perhaps do deadpool or spiderman

Or spideypool

HELP sorry if im asking a lot I have. Many interests

I truly don’t care how man you ask for!! I love making stuff :3

Hi, I have a question.

Your list says you're writing about the Avengers, and I'm wondering if that means you're writing about Ant-Man?

Hello!

Yes, I can write for Ant-man.

I know that the description for the MARVEL and DC sections are looking a bit vague and general, but its mainly because I don't know how to organize them properly yet.

SO, until the next time I open request, If you have a specific DC or Marvel character in mind, just put it in the request.

There is a good chance that I know the general facts about the character (if it is an obscure character though, please put in a general description. It makes writing the character easier.)

[dungeon-meshi-tournament]

This scene is one of my favorite parts. I call it "the party trying to hold up the block of ice." Chilchuck isn't even helping and Izutsumi doesn't give a damn

Oh yeah, that one was already submitted. I think I listed it as "Touden party catching frozen Falin". Thanks for the image though, it saves me some time having to look for it!
