FAEMON DEX - ORCOLOGNE

HEEEERE comes a new FAEMON! Orcologne is based on orchid bees, of which there are a MULTITUDE of species to be found in South America! What's special about this family of bees, aside of their shiny exterior, is the fact that the males have uniquely modified legs to store esters in, which are basically the chemical compounds of fragrences of flowers such as orchids.

So in the same fashion as the real thing, male Orcolognes collect and create their own unique fragrances to impress females with. Just that the Faemon has a LITERAL vial of self-made perfume attached to its legs 😂

Photo by Colin Hutton PLEASE check out his website, all of his photos of bees and other insects are SO SO BEAUTIFUL

And shoutout to this documentary clip that inspired the creation of this Faemon!

If you like my Faemon, you can support the creation of more by joining my Patreon! Currently offering free trials

*helps a bug outside so people don't kill it*

*flash forward and I'm convicted of a crime I didn't commit*

*no lawyer touches the case for me*

*everyone hears a buzz and turns around*

*the bug is wearing a tiny suit with a tiny suitcase and becomes my defense attorney*

THE LITTLE GUYS

glimpse into my beautiful imaginary world where arthropods are really big and we domesticated them

edit: people are starting to say some "my worst nightmare" or "eeeww no that one is yucky and scary" comments on this like they do on any bug post and id like to say. it's fine if you don't like bugs it's fine if you're scared of bugs but don't put that on MY post clearly talking about how much i like them and how cute i think they are. you can make your own damn post about how much you hate wasps or spiders or whatever. i'm blocking people who make these kinds of comments.

[giantpredatorymollusk]

the term "phasmid," meaning "stick insect," comes from a latin word meaning "apparition" or "phantom," due to the creatures' ability to hide in plain sight, and then move around and scare people.

the largest phasmids likely remain undiscovered; the longest insect known to science was a phasmid from a species that remains formally unnamed and undescribed, even since being captured for the first time in china in 2014.

a female specimen of the quasi-mythical australian species of gargantuan stick insect was sought by a curator of museum victoria for three years before he encountered one, also in 2014. upon realizing what it was, he says, “I started screaming."
