TW: DEAD INSECT (feeder crickets)

Fed my kids tonight and there was some drama. The giant canyons and woodlice know how to share, and even the little ones have decent access at mealtime, but with the dairy cows, it’s Night of the Living Pods. These crickets were already dead when I bought them and would have likely been thrown away. I stick them in the freezer when I get home for an hour just to be sure.

I thought this beetle was dead, it wasn't moving, its wings missing and its abdomen picked clean. So I took my photos and stepped away, until, after a minute, out of the corner of my eye, I saw it start crawling away.

[VIDEO AND PHOTOS TAKEN: JUNE 1ST, 2024 | Video and Image IDs: A video and four photos of a grey wood boring Buprestid beetle crawling up a relatively dirty, white metal surface. Missing its wings, the empty space showing its hollow abdomen, as well as without any motion in its far back pair of legs. /End IDs.]

Easily one of the scariest yet most fascinating things I've seen in nature! The fact that this beetle could even survive something this intense (if only for a little while before it eventually succumbs) is insane.

I think this is the single greatest photo I have ever taken

Imagine your body sized needle is penetrate your body and suck everything inside of you...

I believe that prey is Spittlebugs and Froghoppers.

if it doesn’t freak you out too much, do you think you could do an ant with cordyceps stimboard…

July is close enough to Halloween I think

A jar of my hungry pets who have come to the end of their natural life. Rest in satiety, my little friends.

Dramatic little things, aren't they?

They often play dead if I pick up the cups.
