and yet it's sometimes really really good.

I mean, just look at the genus Phylliidae for an example

look at that leaf bug

It's pretty funny how much animal camouflage, especially insect camouflage, is a backwards engineered mess of unreadable code, that produces a result which only barely seems effective to human eyes because after millions of years of focus groups, that weird uncanny valley of colors is just the one that most consistently triggers "I am bark" or "I am poisonous" or "I am a larger predator" to potential predators. And it's not like a hundred percent success rate, it's just genetic blobs blindly feeling around for why they're making more genetic blobs instead of being digested into protein by the stomach of a field mouse. It's like "what made you" and the answer is one million years averaged out into some semblance of consistency. It's kinda cool, take a bunch of proteins, give them a million years to work on it, and they can figure out what a snake's head looks like, and build a worm shaped like that. They don't even have eyes, they're just like sculptors and all the non-snake worms get trimmed away by hungry birds.

Can't just go places without a hat, not when it's raining.

The other day I went to the cactus garden after work. Intended on looking for cactus weevils but came up short, instead I found lots of lovely big sleeping snails (Otala genus) and leaf bugs (Narnia genus), the latter of which were sipping away at overripe prickly pears. The little dudes gave me an idea and I ended up taking a few varieties of prickly pears home and juicing them, and it’s pretty good! I should come more prepared next time though because those hundreds of itty bitty needles have not washed out of my clothes since 😖

They even have separate sub-species that have different leaf decay!!
