and while we're on the subject of luigi mangione, FREE NATHAN MAHONEY (who stabbed his company's CEO during a meeting)! the reason you may not have heard this name is because the police clearly do not want to make the same mistake they did with Mangione by allowing him to become a symbol. let's show our support for Nathan Mahoney, who looks exactly how he should in his mugshot— proud of himself

what the ABSOLUTE fuck
Christmas tree worms (Spirobranchus giganteus) are tube-building, segmented bristle worms that live in tropical oceans. Named for their tree-like appearance, the multicolored spirals are actually highly derived structures for feeding and respiration. Because it does not move outside its tube, this worm does not have any specialized appendages for movement or swimming. Instead, it bores into living coral, secretes a calcium carbonate tube around its body, and survives by filter feeding. (x x x x x x x)

May I request your silliest bugs?
Have you seen this silly ass man???
Peanut Bug aka Peanut Lanternfly (Fulgora laternaria), family Fulgoridae, Ecuador
In Ecuador, where Paxon and I both worked and met each other, this insect is called Machaca. It is believed, or so people say, that if a man is bitten by one, he will die within 24 hours, if he does not have sex with a virgin. They are incapable of biting people… 😑
