It's difficult to explain to people the difference between passively liking bugs vs being a Bug Person (autistic). Where you see a small rhinoceros beetle trundling across the path I see god
#and so forth#saw a metallic sweat bee(?) on a flower today and wanted to look at it forever#bugs#bugblr#insects#this pretty much applies to all animals to me tbf#how am i supposed to explain that no i dont just 'love animals' i need them. i need to see a crow eating a snack or let a dog sniff me#or Else

Today I learned that I've apparently long been in a Florida Gardening Group on Facebook and also that nobody in it knows anything about nature. "I never heard this referred to as "native???" is the wildest response I think, literally wording it like they don't believe me that this organism is native to the one and only part of the world it has ever been known to exist in
"intruder" what a word to use for an animal that was there first :0
Am I going to get banned from Florida Gardening Facebook
#i literally only found out recently that lubbers are native#bc I'd been told as long as I've lived here that they were invasive#it made me so mad for them#who cares about our non native ornamentals just find a native one and youll be doing 10x more good

here is a Scolopendra mutilans lapping up mango juice from a spoon
while giant centipedes are mostly predators that feed on insects and small vertebrates, they may occasionally enjoy a sweet fruit treat! several species have been seen eating fruit in the wild, and pet centipedes seem to enjoy it now and then.

rehoused Cassie today! she’s been due for a substrate refresh and a better burrow for a while. I think she likes this new cork hollow—it’s super deep and she scooted* right in with a happy butt wiggle
*shambled, rather. Cassandra isn’t a lady of speed unless pressured. she’s got 8 legs but averages about one step every 30 seconds.
photo from before the rehouse, excuse her “ew gross a human” pose

Saddest thing ever is reading an academic paper about a threatened or declining species where you can tell the author is really trying to come up with ways the animal could hypothetically be useful to humans in a desperate attempt to get someone to care. Nobody gives a shit about the animals that “don’t affect” us and it seriously breaks my heart

I just like the way that ants move. Here is one of my cone ants running over the sand of her new outworld.
