Twyla: So Poppy's looking for some tarantulas, huh? OK, well...there are plenty in the world to choose, but here are the Top Three I believe she will find quite extraordinary! 😉

Here is the Blue Cobalt

The Purple Pinktoe

And last, but certainly not least

The Emerald Skeleton Tarantula

Sorry if the photographed images aren't top-quality 😅

I have another question for you, if that's OK. Are you comfortable with me tagging you in the future chapters, including 2 and 3? It's absolutely OK if you haven't read Chapter 1 yet, I just wanna make sure you have them once I post. I asked Slashing and she gave me the OK, I hope it's cool with you

OMG, I'm gonna blow up the inbox. My bad! 🤣 😂

!!!!!! Oh my gosh! All these 'lil guys look so beautiful!!! I knew about blue tarantulas, but I didn't know there were PURPLE ones!!

Actually- here. Let's let Poppy answer this one.

~

The rabbit toons' eyes were blown wide. And with her dark brown eyes, it almost looked like a night sky with how starstruck she had become. Her expression remained still and in awe for a few seconds before a big grin pulled at her lips and an excited squeal left her lips. She had tried to cover her mouth with her paw before the sound left her, but it was too late. Even if she had caught herself in time, her ears flickering happily would have been a dead giveaway, "Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh! They're so beautiful!!"

And just like that, the floodgates had been burst open, as she embraced her toony self; her words pouring from her mouth at the speed of light as she comically dashed to and fro between the three pictures, "There are purple and pibk tarantulas!? I had no idea! She looks just like Shiny! Such a beautiful predator! You said she's a Purple Pinktoe, right? Oh, but the Blue Cobalt!! He's like a walking saphire!! Look at all those gorgeous shades! And the Emerald Skelaton Tarantula!?! Look at those eyes! Those pedipalps!! So adorable! he looks like he got a splash of paint on his abdomen. So artistic! And-"

Yeah, Twyla better be ready to stand there for hours. This is the most excited Poppy has been since Phantom of the Opera was adapted into a stage play! XD

I offer you; this little comic is Twyla and Poppy when it comes to insects

While everyone else is in horror, these girls are just like Fluttershy XD

And yes. I would love to be tagged! Thank you for asking ^^

so very small Worm (Wildbow), Bug Fables Graphic Depictions Of Violence, Skitter | Weaver | Taylor Hebert, Post-GM, Transmigration, Spiders, Bugs & Insects, Canon-Typical Violence

Taylor Hebert wakes up in the middle of a grassy field with an aching head, a massive blank in her memory, and approximately four more limbs than she remembers having. Approximately, of course, because one of her original four limbs appeared to be gone, and she wasn't sure how to qualify an entire abdomen suddenly spawning off of her backside. Something ingrained deeply into her skull told her she should be blaming someone, but she couldn't quite remember who.

Author's Note: Bugtober, Day 19 - Mimic. We think that Taylor would be a mimic spider if we swapped her over to BF. We have no major justification for this, but we are open to suggestions if anyone has a better idea, seeing as it's been nearly three years (we think) since we've read Worm and there are likely people on this website who are not operating on three years of character drift.

I just realized that I can show you guys some of the bug pictures I've taken

Bees :]

These 3 are probably my favorite bug pictures I've ever taken

Praying mantis :]

And some other guys

The top left is my favorite out of these 4. It's so pretty :]

Another driven/darven snippet of my rewrite I rewrote yesterday and feel to share :3

______________________________________________

“All right,” she looked him straight in the eyes. If he were to lie, she would notice immediately. “As I told you, my powers originate in the darkness of the human psyche. Darkness runs through our family’s veins for generations. As a child I was terrified with that. But the more I learned to accept my powers, the more they fascinated me. To that point, that I delved in the depths of dark magic.” Her eyes fixated his. “I’m neither a cute little fairy, nor a basic witch, Riven.” Darcy couldn’t remember, why she had always been so afraid about situations like this. She handled them just like she handled her magic. It was ironic, how easy it was to allure a boy. If she had known, how easy they fell for her, she’d definitely done it sooner. There was no need to drop her mask at all. On the contrary, with that same mask she seemed to be able to wrap people around her little finger.

She smiled dangerously. “Take this as a warning before you lose your head over me.”

"It’s getting interesting now.". That definitely wasn't a lie. Riven‘s eyes were fixated on Darcy‘s. So she continued and and wrapped Riven further and further in her web, just like a spider does with its prey.

note: keep in mind that all the characters are aged up 2 years in my rewrite. You attend the magic colleges at 18, not at 16 like in the show.

A giant golden orb weaver (sometimes called the skull spider), a three horned rhinoceros beetle, and a fire-tailed resin bee.

Taylor saved up enough money to become warlord of a large tented community by carefully investing the money she made managing an immense traveling flea circus with actual fleas.

[blujayonthewing]

had the thought 'it might be interesting to also collect a cicada nymph before it can molt and keep it as a wet specimen' and then immediately the concept of a cicada quietly growing underground for thirteen years to finally, finally emerge into the world only to get killed and put in a jar before it ever has a chance to stretch its wings just because some idiot thought it'd be neat nearly made me cry
