@bluem1st submitted: Hello! Hope you are well. I was wondering if you could tell me what these are please?

Hello! I am well. The fella on the left is an ocellated shield bug, Cantao ocellatus, and the one on the right is a paper wasp in the genus Polistes. If I had to make an educated guess about species based on where these resin-encased bugs usually come from, I'd say Polistes olivaceus. But there are a lot of Polistes species in the world that all look super similar, so take that one with a grain of salt.

BOTD: Ocellated Turkey

Photo: Doug Greenberg

"The Ocellated Turkey is the gaudier tropical cousin of the world's only other turkey species, our familiar Thanksgiving bird. Unlike its northern relative, the Ocellated Turkey does not have a broad range. It's only found on the Yucatán Peninsula, which embraces a few Mexican states, the northern half of Belize, and Guatemala's northern Petén region. Despite its size and eye-popping plumage, this bird lurks mostly unseen amid thick foliage."

🐙 Daily Cephalopod Fact: 🐙

Poison Ocellate Octopus: A venomous octopus that is also known as the mototi octopus or Siamese ocellate octopus. It is about 7.8 inches in size and has two iridescent blue rings between its eyes and arms. When threatened, it will flash the blue rings on the dark patch beneath its eye, warning off predators. It may also change color dramatically to maroon stripes over a white background along its body and arms.

ocelot and otacon should be forced to directly interact more often (in fanworks)

put otacon in situations where he has to work against snake himself for much longer instead of switching sides at the first opportunity. give him to ocelot to really fuck with his guilt/sense of self, and what he should Do with all that. he's right there for the moulding *pleadingeyes* come on ocel its a free toey for you-
