Fat Kereru

The fat part is obvious really and so inherent to kereru that it can't really be used as a descriptor. They also during some times of the year do great big swoops over the trees to show off to potential mates, and at other times get so drunk on fermenting fruit that they fall under the trees and lie out on the lawn with mates.

I’m not a Haladriel shipper by any means but watching sections of the RoP fandom be like “if you fantasise about this toxic relationship you have questionable morals”—

IT��S NOT REAL FOLKS we gotta stop equating fictional tastes with real life ethics dear lord

Lol. People saying they personally don't like something is one thing, but it's certainly purity culture when people try to censor and control what people read or create in fiction using the premise that it either "harms or corrupts The Children", or otherwise is too uncouth for a "normal, pure person" to read or create. Anti behavior may not be the textbook definition of puriry culture but it damn well is an outcome of it. There's a reason people compare it to Catholic puritanism. It enforces the same basic ideals on people in the hopes they will be pure and keep the people around them pure.

Posting as a response to a previous problem.

Omega ✨️

little babee tiny chiold we must protect

Omega is a aenetus virescens aka a puriri moth ✨️🥺

A moth that is native to New Zealand and omega is the yellow variant of the moth✨️

She is extra quirky in this au I'll expand on this in another post but tech teaches her how to mix alixers and wrecker teaches her how to make explosive ones 😭 which goes phenomenally well.

fun fact as siblings omega and Boba share braincells from across the galaxy this is factual.

#2362 - Prolasius advena - Small Brown Bush Ant

The other 18 species in the genus are all Australian.

Prolasius advena lives in Nothofagus forests on the North and South islands, usually nesting under stones or rotting logs. Colonies are multi-queened with hundreds of workers. Unlike most New Zealand ants, it defends itself by spraying formic acid rather than stinging.

Several beetle associations have been recorded - a staphylinid (Holotrochus sp.), a small endemic stag beetle (Ceratognathus passaliformis), and a pselaphid beetle (Ecomorypora granulata). The worker ants also feed on sap exposed by the puriri moth (Aenetus virescens) as it feeds on the wood of putaputaweta trees (Carpodetus serrata). Also a known host of the parasitic nematode Diploscapter formicidae.
