millie's poll {by the grit of sandpaper}

y'all have come for her blood (and marsha's) and it's been so interesting to see the reactions to her character. she's actually based off a mean girl from my early college days, though i've taken many liberties with the environment lol. @hiddenbabynyc raised some interesting theories in their ask and i'm curious...

come celebrate the last chapter with dev!

Fireflies, known as lightning bugs in the South and Midwest, are neither flies nor bugs. Scientists save the word “bug” for a specific kind of insect with sucking mouthparts—a definition that excludes ants, butterflies and beetles. Fireflies are beetles—magical, but still six-legged insects.

Adult fireflies use their glow as “a love song in light,” as Tennessee-based firefly expert Lynn Faust puts it. A male will flash his signal, and a female will flash a response when she recognizes one of her own species. The females of a few firefly species Heckscher studies can also manipulate their flashes to lure fireflies from other species, which they then eat. In firefly larvae, the glow warns predators of toxic chemical defenses, much as the red of a ladybug or the orange of a monarch butterfly does.

A number of land creatures make light from chemicals, including various fungi, earthworms, millipedes and fungus gnats, Lewis writes. But beetles are the champion, with about 2,500 different species that make light, most of them fireflies. Their glow comes from an abdominal organ called the lantern. Inside that organ, oxygen interacts with a small, energy-packed molecule called luciferin. Some scientists believe fireflies create their pulsating patterns by regulating the flow of air.

There are at least 2,200 firefly species around the globe. Each has a glowing larval (immature) form. These larvae eat snails, slugs and worms, punching way above their weight in the web of life. But not all firefly species have adults that glow. Roughly 60 to 75 percent do, according to Oliver Keller, a biologist with the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, who is putting together a checklist of the world’s firefly species. These species are mostly found in Asia and in North America, east of the Rocky Mountains. Fireflies thrive where the air and the ground are moist, and the American West is generally too dry for their taste.

The remaining firefly species are “dark” fireflies. They glow in their juvenile forms, and often as eggs, but not as adults. Instead, these adults find each other through scent-like pheromones, which they detect with elaborate antennae. These fireflies lack the lantern organ that fireflies use to flash. (There are also intermediate species that have both a tiny light organ and elaborate antennae to detect pheromones.) In some other species, the female firefly emits a weak, steady glow but does not fly. She merely crawls to the top of a blade of grass or, perhaps, up a tree trunk.

starter call 2.0

59 & 29 for a cooperative & surprised starter

Kylee was startled when she looked up from her issue of The Wall Street Journal. She had not been expecting Maggie to be standing in the entryway of the room, staring at her. (She knew she should have bugged the hall!)

She had been asked by the X-Men to mind the mansion while they were in and out of the place trying to solve whatever drama they had gotten roped into this time. They must have been quite desperate, because Kylee was probably far down on their list of responsible adults to keep an eye on things.

Mostly it was just making sure someone got the mail and paid the weekly cleaner, but it also meant keeping an eye on Maggie McCoy. Luckily, she was a teenager -- nearly an adult, so she didn't need a babysitter (Thank the gods: children were loud and messy and always questionably sticky). But she understood the need to have an adult around at all times, just in case.

Kylee had not seen the girl since she had been very small, before she had been taken by HADES. She had joined the search for her -- sending a swarm of flies to find a trail, a trace -- but she too, had failed.

A millipede crawled up her arm, along her neck, and into her slightly opened mouth. Kylee swallowed and closed her eyes as her mind was filled with sounds and visuals. The west wing of the mansion was clear. Good.

Kylee knew little about the girl on a personal level, they had been reintroduced when Kylee had been asked to stay at the mansion, but she hadn't interacted with her much in the couple of days that she had been there.

She supposed it was about time she extended an olive branch.

"What can I do for you, miss Maggie? I'm thinking about ordering a pizza. Do you like Hawaiian?"

Tiptoeing by Hope Tala

How you gonna make me do this dance again? We're getting closer but we're trying to be friends If we start it might never end, so we keep tiptoeing When we met I wasn't interested I did half a glance, didn't want to chance it Now I lie awake and I think about you Because there's a moral to this story but I don't know it Always listen to myself but not this time I guess Keep on running from it, when I want it, I do

Back to You by Flower Face

Well, it's always back to you again Always back to you, my friend, you keep me on the run I never learned to lose a fight I never learned to grow upright Well, this is who we are How will I release you now? How can I forgive myself when I'm still in love with you? And it's always back to you again Always back to you, my friend You keep me on the run

The Last Romance by Raleigh Ritchie

Your face looks so sweet, even in the wars You took the rap for me, but I fell on my own sword And now the sordid details, are all over page 4 Honey, we made the news and that's all we did this for We drove for centuries without a sound or fuss State penitentiaries weren't made for souls like us There will be blood, but you will be loved The world will know, but it's only us

Let's Talk About Feelings by Joywave

I, I am learning to live again I, I'm done with the fast-paced, flower crowned women I, I am falling in love with you I, I hope that it's good for you I, I've been, I've been in every state But content is foreign soil (content is foreign soil) It's sand I'd love to cultivate

The Bug Collector by Haley Heynderickx

And I digress 'Cause I must make you the perfect evening I try my best To put the priest inside a jam jar And there's a millipede Angry on your carpet Oh, and I must admit He's staring with a vengeance Oh, and I digress 'Cause I must make you the perfect morning And I try my best To prove that nothing's out to get you To prove that nothing's out to get you

Windswept by Crywolf

I'll be what you need I'll keep you inside my fortress Hand you the keys Leave you to roam these walls But you tore down the keep I returned to find ruins You left all my love in the rubble with these walls

Mori'na/Solas

Fallorun by Andrew Bird

You know we could have been together But you couldn't stand the weather here You know I was your rain and thunder Upon your hills and valleys, dear You think you're making choices But there's nothing really here Just tone-deaf angry voices That are breathing in your ear

Unknown/Nth by Hozier

Do you know I could break beneath the weight? Of the goodness, love, I still carry for you That I'd walk so far just to take The injury of finally knowin' you It ain't the being alone (Sha-la-la) It ain't the empty home, baby (Sha-la-la) You know I'm good on my own (Sha-la-la) Sha-la-la, baby, you know, it's more the being unknown And there are some people, love, who are better unknown

Olive Branch by Sophie Holohan

Cuz I’m a giver, I’m a grower, I’m a lover, till it hurts And I’d hate to not know ya, but I’m not sure if it’s worse To give you every part of me, watch you go time and time again Or wait until my dying days and still not call you my friend Peace, is there peace? In picking up the pieces of the past? Is there relief? Is there sorrow? Or can I finally sleep? When you branch the past and present Is there relief? Relief

Twenty-five years ago, Heckscher was a wildlife biologist with the State of Delaware’s Natural Heritage and Endangered Species Program, managing the state’s rarest species. One project had him searching for the Bethany Beach firefly, which hadn’t been seen since 1968. Was the firefly extinct, falling to one or all of the hazards threatening fireflies throughout the world, such as habitat loss, light pollution and climate change? Or had it simply gone unnoticed for 30 years? The scientific species description gave few hints, only that it had been found in Bethany Beach, Delaware. Frank Alexander McDermott, a researcher who wrote dozens of articles on fireflies, published the first paper about it in 1953. James E. Lloyd, a professor at the University of Florida known as the “Firefly Doc,” had been the last to see it.

Fireflies, known as lightning bugs in the South and Midwest, are neither flies nor bugs. Scientists save the word “bug” for a specific kind of insect with sucking mouthparts—a definition that excludes ants, butterflies and beetles. Fireflies are beetles—magical, but still six-legged insects.

Adult fireflies use their glow as “a love song in light,” as Tennessee-based firefly expert Lynn Faust puts it. A male will flash his signal, and a female will flash a response when she recognizes one of her own species. The females of a few firefly species Heckscher studies can also manipulate their flashes to lure fireflies from other species, which they then eat. In firefly larvae, the glow warns predators of toxic chemical defenses, much as the red of a ladybug or the orange of a monarch butterfly does.

In some other species, the female firefly emits a weak, steady glow but does not fly. She merely crawls to the top of a blade of grass or, perhaps, up a tree trunk.

The adult Bethany Beach firefly Heckscher was searching for both flashed and flew. Although some believed the species was extinct, Heckscher had a hunch that it was hiding in an overlooked wetland. He narrowed the search by studying 50-year-old aerial photographs. Between the sand dunes away from the ocean, fresh water pooled, and grasses and shrubs grew. Heckscher went to one of these wetlands and quickly netted the long-missing firefly. Scientists have since found the species in a handful of these tiny wetlands studding a 27-mile-long ribbon of Atlantic coast in Delaware and Maryland.

It was the first in a string of remarkable discoveries. In 2004, Heckscher found a firefly he couldn’t identify rising from the moss near a river feeding into Delaware Bay. He thought it was just an oddball individual until he found one just like it near a river on the other side of the state in the Chesapeake Bay watershed.

He had discovered a new species of firefly. He gave it the scientific name Photuris mysticalampas. (Informally, it’s known as the mystic or mysterious lantern firefly.)

Heckscher has been searching for elusive fireflies ever since, and finding them inspires awe. Once, he searched for mystic lantern fireflies in a cedar swamp on a hot, humid night. Distant lightning lit the swamp in a pink haze. Trees and ferns flashed suddenly from the darkness, bathed in pink light, studded by the yellow-green glow of fireflies.

Graf/Klemperer: Diese Revolution hat kein Lied

Ob sie sich wohl in den Jahren 1918/19 in München begegnet sind? An diesem Abend tun sie es: zumindest ihre Erinnerungen.

Und es geht um nicht weniger als die erste Demokratie auf deutschem Boden.

Der preußische Gelehrte Victor Klemperer und der „Anarchobayer“ Oskar Maria Graf berichten von ihren Erlebnissen bei der Ausrufung des Freistaats Bayern, dem Wahlkampf zu den ersten demokratischen Wahlen in Deutschland, Kurt Eisners Ermordung – sowie der Gründung und blutigen Niederschlagung der bayerischen Räterepubliken.

Ein Stück voller hochfliegender Träume und harten, blutigen Realitäten…

Es lesen: Renate Groß & Oliver Leeb Musik: Mathias Götz – Le Millipede Solo – Projektionen: Florian Weiß & Reinhard Pabst, Regie.

Not the best photo, but one of my olive millipedes!

Hello I want to see your BUG pets please reblog with pics of them thank you

*THIS IS FOR BUGS. INVERTEBRATES. Save your cats for another post. Thank you :)

🤎 unless it spoils your last chapter or epilogue, i’m curious on how going on patrol affects Millipede. does she get someone killed or have someone die on patrol and ends up walking a mile in Olive’s shoes, does she get hurt, die or does she become a badass and realizes how snippy and small minded her and her mother are/were?

millipede oh my gosh, that sent me, i swear to you i cackled so loud lol

we def see the consequences of millie's actions! i've got a few ideas outlined but i haven't gone as far as thinking about killing her off. i've gone ahead and made a poll to see what the consensus is here

come celebrate the last chapter with dev!

[muskmelon-enjoyer-199x]

a lot of children at my workplace come in with the most outrageously sick fits and im honestly jealous because they never have anything similar in adult sizes

blue camouflage t-shirt with all-over shark silhouette print?

pale olive t-shirt with centipedes and millipedes all over the front?

black quilted vest with a repeating pattern that's like a houndstooth made out of sauropod dinosaurs?

I would die for adidas shorts or a fanny pack in some of these prints ngl haha

Welcome to the millipede tank, on the left is pumpkin, squash is hiding by the jelly pot and yam chilling by the wood, they have been upgraded to a taller tank as they have all taken into climbing I have more wood on the at for them
