A lot of people say they don't like wasps, but wasps are a huge diverse group of insects, it's not just yellow jackets & hornets.

I had this cuckoo wasp visit me in my flat today. These pretty wasps lay their eggs in the brood chambers of solitary bees & wasps. The hatched larva first eats the host's egg & then the food storage and stays in the chamber until pupated into the finished wasp.

Clay has always been one of my absolute favorite Pokémon & comfort characters. I love that man so much and learning that he has a daughter, family, it just makes me so incredibly happy for him, I can't even put that into words, so I'll let my art speak for itself!

Also, I don't get how some people are surprised by him having a child with someone. There's only ups to having him as a partner:

Great sense of justice & morals

Loving partner/dad (Lacey is proof)

Financial stability

Best sideburns in Pokémon

Yeehaw

The amount of people I see online write about how Gordie is a spoiled brat and super ungrateful for Melony (ᇂᴗᇂ|||) BLOWS ME AWAY!!! Like did we play the same game?!?!

“buT mElOnY beCAmE tHe FiRsT mEmBeR oF gOrDiE's FaN cLuB.”

Only after Melony was an extremely strict coach during Gordie’s entire adolescence. Who raised Gordie to take her place as the Gym Leader of Circhester. As an Ice-type trainer with no input from him.

Then when Gordie finally expresses his dream of dedicating himself to Rock-type Pokémon instead of Ice-type. MELONY DOESN’T SUPPORT HIM!!!

She fights against him to the point it results in a Pokémon battle that divides the whole town. A battle so messy that ever since that day, Melony and Gordie hardly ever see each other.

We know the two were close prior to this considering how much they mirror each other with similar dialogue, poses ETC.

Melony obviously loves her son! Becoming the first member of his fan club was her attempt to show support.

However if you’re in Gordie’s position his mother’s support feels patronizing since she’s been his biggest road block towards his dream!! Gordie is allowed to love his mom while still having complicated feelings!!!

Also Gordie wasn’t the only person affected from the fight between them. In Melony’s normal league card it states, “Many quietly speculate that Melony's harsh battle style is due to a fight she had with her son."

Bonus:

Gordie’s Reaction to losing, “He always tries to keep his fans happy and thus is very popular among the audience. On the other hand, he has the surprising tendency of shutting himself away in the locker room when he is defeated, making postdefeat interviews a rarity. This doesn't bother most of his fans, though, and they see this behavior as endearing."

Can we stop calling insect larvae worms? As an entomologist, that's my biggest pet peeve. A worm and an insect are completely different kind of animals. Grubs and caterpillars even have head capsules and legs too to easily differentiate them from the no-legged worms. Insect larvae will metamorphize into an imago and a worm will always stay a worm.

This year I had the ABSOLUTE PLEASURE of getting up close to a specimen of the Titan Beetle, Titanus giganteus, the largest beetle in the world! They can reach 17cm (6.7 inches) length and are simply breathtaking! Look at how huge it is in comparison to my finger. I love it.

I love it~

Most people wouldn't think about how the big business CEOs in the Pokemon world would interact with each other.

But I am not most people.

Despite getting along with Joseph Stone of Devon Corporation, Clay would sooner deck Rose than ever work with him.

These are both male stag beetles (Lucanus cervus). Great example of intra-species variability.

You vs the guy she tells you not to worry about 🪲💪😂
