Blister Beetles: Pretty colors, serious powers

🌿🐞 Did you know about Nuttall’s Blister Beetles? These vibrant insects are a part of our local parks and greenspaces, often found on flowers like lupines and milk-vetch.  🌼 While they may look beautiful with their bright colors, handling them can be risky!  🚫 Their bodies contain cantharidin, a toxin that causes skin blistering if mishandled. Here’s how to enjoy nature safely:  👀 Spot them…

I like The Wayne Family Adventures. It's very wholesome and emotional. Maybe it's because I can relate more to those depictions of overcoming mental struggles and committing shenanigans. It's like finding a cozy and good fanfic, except it's endorsed!!!

It's awesome that there's such a broad amount of DC content for all sorts of tastes. It makes me feel a bit sad when people dunk on it, because it's not what they personally like. That's valid! But that doesn't mean it's shit! It's got no value for one person, but for another person, it's got a lot. And that's totally alright! It's like bringing more cake to a party. Ain't nothing bad about more cake. Everyone gets to eat what they like.

Forget who’s the black cat and who’s the golden retriever. I want to know who’s the believer, who’s the skeptic and who’s the alien that was brought along in the ride.

I love that Jurassic Park was determined to present the illusion of "We're in a natural world, a preserve that's only inches from nature" and assumed that it had control over the animals while actually not understanding nature at all, leading to its destruction...

...and Jurassic World had a "We're in a secure place from nature, but we understand the animals so well and treat them with so many advances that we have the whole thing figured out," until they created an Unnatural Creature that promptly destroyed everything because it was an unholy abomination.

I was reading a fic - character gets isekai'd to a world they're pretty overpowered for - and the author described it as a like, invasive species, and that's what I shall be calling all my crossover fix it fics from now on lmao

[sidhewrites]

like i think the thing is, you don't have to like certain animals or plants to know they're important. I only recently learned there are species of mosquitos that are vital pollinators to their local ecosystems, but even the ones everyone knows and hates are a major part of the food chain, moving calories and protein around in ways few other species do. Parasites and predators both are important for keeping the herbivore population down, which allows the plant life to thrive. Nothing exists purely to be evil, and it's a mistake to think nature is all sunshine rainbows and flowers.

Death decay and disease are important to the balance of life, but that doesn't mean we have to be comfortable with it. I don't like mosquitos anywhere near me. Scorpions terrify me, and certain bugs still make me feel disgusted. But my feelings don't matter when it comes to the ecosystem.

Everything evolved to fill a specific and necessary role. The world doesn't exist to serve our comforts or preferences. We don't have to love it, we just have to accept it.
