after a thousand years i made a NEW trollsona (info under the cut cos why not)

name is JUINIE AMLEPI the first name is just an extension of my real name, last name isnt cos im not doxxing myself its instead a weird combination of amphiesmenoptera (insect suborder that moths, butterflies, and caddisflies are under) and lepidoptera (insect order that moths and butterflies are under)

it/its, dis/dists, xe/xyr, tune/tunes pronouns (these are just my pronouns)

gold blood with a mutation that causes it to have insect features (wings, eyes, behaviors)

typing quirk is to capitalize o's (like how the moon), type light sources or similar things in all caps (e.g. MOON, LAMP, FIRE, STARS), puts an asterisk at the end of messages but will add more when excited, and uses emojis like -w- OwO TwT quite often

classpect is bard of light and is a derse dreamer

im imagining some sort of world that isnt alternia that dis lives on cos i would imagine someone seeing big fuckign wings would be like Hey Wait a Minute and itd get culled immediately

but who knows maybe xe could just fly away every time and be fine

Taxon Tuesday #2: Lepidoptera

“Lepidoptera” is the order containing butterflies and moths. Well over a hundred thousand species have been described, making them one of the most diverse groups of organisms in the entire tree of life. The first Lepidopterans in the fossil record appear early in the Jurassic, well before the spread of flowering plants.

Both moths and butterflies undergo metamorphosis and have a very distinct larval and adult form. Their bodies are coated in miniscule scales. They are key pollinators and prey animals, but can also be pests in human agricultural endeavors, and parasites to plants and other insects.

Lepidoptera is nested within the superorder Amphiesmenoptera, alongside its sister order, Trichoptera, the caddisflies. This superorder is nested within the larger clade known as Endopterygota, which houses insects with distinct larval, pupal, and adult stages, including wasps, beetles, and ants. Lepidoptera itself is divided into over 100 families. I will not list them all <3
