this video goes unbelievably hard

Acanalonia conica is a charming leaf-mimicking planthopper that’s very common where I live. during the day its eyes are white with brown lines, but at night or in the dark they change to a deep red.

presumably this aids in night vision, since many groups of insects like mantises, katydids, and plant bugs show a similar change in eye color between day and night

sketchbook ‘scans’ from this month :-)

this is me if you even care btw

have you heard? conservationists have reintroduced 10 kākāpō onto the north island of new zealand!

the vibes when there are some bugs under a rock

If you ever wondered what the best living vertebrate is, it’s the alligator gar in my totally not biased 100% scientifically backed opinion. They are just a flawless creature. Nothing wrong with them. Good tooth to snoot ratio, they have a winning smile.

They and other monster fish absolutely should NOT be in the hands of most private keepers at all and I do NOT support morph breeding of them because of that, but pretty fishy cute :c

the day i finally see a velvet worm in the flesh is the day i ascend from this mortal vessel
