fell in love with a sentient pipe cleaner today

caterpillars are usually completely oblivious to everything around them and Charaxes jasius is no exception but this one reacted with visible disgust after i grabbed its leaf. i do not remember why i grabbed its leaf but it turns out it's easier to get a good angle of these guys when they're folded in half

a mess of mature promethea moth caterpillars (Callosamia promethea) wriggling plumply after spending a little less than a month fattening up on wild cherry leaves

a smaller relative of the cecropia moth, these are one of the less well-known giant silkmoths in the US, but they might just be my favorite species to raise.

This is so cool.

Tell me you've never wanted a molting cicada plushie. It's got iridescent wings. LOOK AT IT.

Also got a pitcher plant backpack...with a doomed caterpillar. Sorely tempted.

(he also makes glow in the dark plants) (and breeds monstera) (and has a free downloadable guide to plant breeding for cool characteristics)

anyway support independent artists or something? that make cool things?
