[ID: A flag with 5 horizontal stripes. The stripes from top to bottom are brownish black, dark brown, faded light brown, dark brown, brownish black. Overlaid on the flag are numerous white stars of varying sizes.]

(this is a custom gender for anonymous, but can be used by anyone!)

blackcatgender

the gender identification of black cats, bats and spiders!! this gender feels dark and mysterious, and may have a close connection to halloween! even if this gender is connected to the colour black and creepy crawlies, it probably has a soft side!

some suggested pronouns: hiss/hisself, bat/bats/batself, scare/scares/scareself, lic/lics/licorice, cat/cats/catself and hallow/hallows/hallowself

(this term + flag has been coined by me and may be reposted with credit!) ♡

The Kadez is a medium-sized river chelicerate, living in particularly pure, well-oxygenated streams. It tolerates very cold temperatures and as such is often found in mountain streams. They turn over pebbles with their legs in search of small invertebrates, roe, and other small prey to eat. It is quite an active creature, and in areas where they are abundant, they'll often come up onto land for other food sources. That said, they are quite skittish, and surprisingly fast -especially underwater-, so it isn't always easy to approach them.

Probably my best artwork ever, two Asian forest scorpions locked in battle. The back is a mirror, which makes their jungle look larger. The plants aren't totally accurate to the biome due to the craft store being limited in their variety of native tropical-subtropical Asian plants

I would like to humbly request the red widow (Latrodectus bishopi). It’s only found in the scrublands of central and southern Florida and is currently a threatened species, most likely due to habitat loss.

Wow, they're gorgeous!

They are considered vulnerable globally, and imperiled in the state of Florida.
