#moth time

[blackbearmagic]

When I originally thought of posting these pictures, I thought they were two shots of the same moth taken a few hours apart, from before and after it got inside my workplace.

Upon closer inspection, it appears they are two completely different moths. So enjoy that!

Philadelphia Weirdos, this event is for you.

On July 14th, we're gonna go into the Pine Barrens and enjoy the hell outta some moths.

This is the 3rd year we've run this event, all to support science education nonprofit Skype a Scientist.

We'll gather at dusk and take a walk around the pond, We'll enjoy some of the crepuscular critters, hopefully see some bats and carnivorous plants, and then set up for a night of bug appreciation! What we'll see on these nights is unpredictable, but in past evenings, we've seen snakes, slugs, wolf spiders, bats, longhorn beetles, many many moths, and more!

Bring some beverages, a chair, a head lamp and any photo equipment you'd like! We'll have some head lamps you can borrow, but won't have enough for everyone. 

Get tickets here!

Can't play splatoon rn bc my brother has the switch so instead I'm gonna learn and then info dump abt the moths that caused sm in my life lol. This eventually led to my friends calling me pink and green occasionally and saying look it's moth(yes ik I'm even named moth-) anytime they see anything pink and green together, call that the moth effect ig lol (get like the butterfly effect? Look it's late dude-)

The lunar moth, also known as the american moon moth, while not very rare they aren't seen my humans that often in part because hey a few nocturnal. In north America they are one of the largest species of moth, wingspan ranging from 3-4.5 inches wide.

They cannot eat, they rely purely on stored energy from when they were a catiplier.

They are considered one of the most harmless creatures. They also have long tails on their wings that help them to avoid bats, they spin behind the moth confusing the bats creating a decoy target for the bats to attack.

The lunar moth is the only moth to be featured on a us postage stamp in 1987(I cannot see that number without thinking of fnaf 😔 lol) wich makes it the only moth honored so much.

Lunar moths also mean new beings or hope. In cherokee folklore it is said to bring moonlight to the earth and light up dark paths.

The lunar moth is not endangered and is not predicted to be.

Anyways idk what this was it w as jsut an impulse thing lol, lmk if yall want another moth ig lmao.

Hhh... If only i were a writer.

Id drop a fic that would go so hard.

[waitineedaname]

just letting you know if you do write that almei fic about al being absolutely not impressed by scar's shovel talk _please_ ping me about it I would love to read that %) we need more of al being a snarky little shit who faced god and won. he has as much rage in him as ed he's just more polite about it

now I definitely need to write it!! that'll be the next thing I write I think :]c it's tricky because i don't write shovel talks very often, but I will do it so that al can be as snarky as he deserves. al is NOT meek or a pushover, that kid knows how to stand his ground and he absolutely contains just as much rage as his brother. the difference is ed's fuse is so short (like the rest of him) and his anger tends to be rather explosive and dramatic, but tbh al's anger is more intimidating to me because you know you've really gone too far when he's pissed off, and his anger is more subtle and scarier than ed's

[mothwithapencil]

I get that it's entirely dependent on the iteration but I think its a little funny when Megatron and Starscream are portrayed as having this 100% abuser/victim dynamic because it just looks like this to me

And also this happens afterward every time
