I feel kinda sad

When i went to take the rubbish down earlier i saw this incredibly beautiful moth on the floor, i thought it was dead but picked it up to take photos, but when i did its legs started twitching. So i sat with it in my hand just kinda hoping maybe it needed to warm up or something, over time the moths wings started vibrating, which i know they can do to warm up to get ready to fly, and it also slowly kept walking around my hand

I've been sitting here watching YouTube withthe moth chilling on my hand, but i noticed it has been a while since i felt it move. Before if i moved my hand its legs would grip out to balance or stay where it was, but this time its legs didn't move and it just rolled

I guess at least i kept it company for its final few hours, so it didn't die alone, it looked like it woulda been a great friend. Such a pretty little moth

Faes and Celestials - General lore

The Faes of my imaginary world are bug-inspired fantasy people. They have features taken from/inspired by real-life bugs, while still mostly looking human. The rules for how these features work/are distributed are still pretty loose because I can't make up my mind and I like to keep my options open. Some will have magically retractable features, while others may just have them all the time. Some will have certain features that others don't. I'm just doing me, who cares about rules.

There are many types of Faes, from the tribal societies of Spiders to the hellish and mythical underwater cities of Crustaceans, not to mention a whole range of different insects with different societal organizations. I'll cover each of those in more detail in separate posts.

(ID under the cut at the end of the post)

Celestials take inspiration from both real-life birds and angels/dragons. The bird inspirations aren't as strong as the Faes' bug inspirations because I kinda gave up halfway through (sorry, I'm simply not as knoweldgeable about bids nor as into them as I am with bugs), but they're technically here.

There are 2 types of Celestials, Angels and Dragons (I'm not sure I like those names but I haven't found anything better yet).

Angels are pretty much what you'd imagine with this name, normal human-looking people who can sprout wings. The wings do take very different shapes from person to person, some can be basic feathered wings but some will be like. Electricity arc vaguely shaped like wings. It can be anything, really, but it does allow all of them to fly. There's definitely some big christian influences in their culture, but we'll cover that in some other post.

Dragons are also human-shaped but they can have scales and slit pupils. They're like spicy humans. And some of them can turn into actual dragons, but those actual dragons are like. Inspired by the idea that birds are dinosaurs and dragons are inspired by dinosaurs and anyways, what if dragons looked more like feathered dinosaurs than just fully scaled lizards with wings y'know? (at least following the typical european dragon designs, I know there are other types of dragons on other cultures, but this is the one I'm most familiar with).

More about: Faes Celestials

[ID:

1st picture: A digital drawing of 3 spider-inspired fantasy characters standing next to each other. They all have tan skin in more or less unnatural shades, from pinkish brown to purplish brown to straight-up blueish purple. They all have several pairs of eyes, either 3 or 4 pairs. They all expose the skin of their torso heavily.

2nd picture: A traditional drawing of a merfolk character with crustacean traits, such as chitinous plates covering their body, extra pairs of bug-like legs along the sides of their tail, and antennaes. They are laying down on the floor with their arms crossed in front of them and their head laying down on their arms.

3rd picture: A digital drawing of 4 butterfly or moth inspired fantasy characters. Their names, pronouns, and the species of moth/butterfly that inspired their design is written at the top.

He's standing straight and resting his hand over the tip of the hilt of a saber that is planted in the ground. He's wearing full plate armor and has a cape draped over his shoulder that is colored like a crowned crane's wings, white on the upper part and dark red on the bottom feathers.

@amazeballsorz submitted: That moth you reblogged recently made me remember the cutest moth I've ever met. Not asking for an ID, just wanted to share, but if anyone wants to identify it this was in the south of Sweden.

What a cutie! So fuzzy. Looks to me like a white ermine moth, Spilosoma lubricipeda!

Spilomon

Spilomon [スピロモン]

Name Origin: "Spilo" comes from Spilosoma Lubricipeda, the scientific name of the White Ermine Moth, which Spilomon is based on.

Level: Child/Rookie

Attribute: Data

Family: Jungle Troopers

Type: Insect

Description:

A kind and loving Moth-like digimon that has a fondness for humans. They are often seen interacting peacefully with other digimon, and generally choosing to avoid conflict altogether. This does not mean that Spilomon is entirely defenseless however, as the black spots on their wings and body are poisonous, and they are capable of picking up any sounds of danger from miles away using their antenna, allowing them to hide or flee.

Attacks:

Poison Burst [ポイズンバースト]: Spilomon concentrates and channels it's fear or anger into their body, causing the poisonous spots on it's body to eject the poison from their fur violently and rapidly, creating a burst of deadly deadly poison around itself. The stronger the emotions channeled during the charging process, the stronger the attack.

Rorschot [ロールスコート]: While in the air, Spilomon can use the black spots on their wings to shoot out bullets of poison that explode on impact. This ability can only be used in the air, due to how the bullets shoot out from the bottom of Spilomon's wings, and thus any attempts to use Rorschot while on the ground would only end up hurting Spilomon in the process.

Evolution Line:

Spilomon –> Silkmon –> Crescentmothmon –> Mothangemon

Spilomon –> Silkmon –> Shinchumon –> Lunardevimon

(Inspired by @garms-fanmade-digimon, so thank you for the idea!)

OMG FOR THE AUTISM ASKS 12, 42, 50: give me ur best infodump. hand it over.

u activated my trap card [ask meme]

12. Do you headcanon any characters as autistic? If you want, tell us why you headcanon them as autistic.

I headcanon so many characters as autistic, but I'm only going to do two. First, Rey from TFA (I don't remember the other two movies enough to bother with them), mainly bc I really relate to her aversion of being touched without her permission and I feel like her biggest interest is starships so of course she knows everything about them and their parts. The other is Leia--as soon as I read Princess of Alderaan, I immediately thought she was. She has a hard time socializing and knowing what's okay to talk about, social cues, etc. There's other things I'm blanking.

42. Tell us something about your special interest.

right so, it's entomology that i'm super into. and im just going to do a single fact since ur question 50 is just to infodump about it. there's a family of beetles (histeridae) that is referred to as clown beetles (there's also a clown weevil). they have short elytra.

50. Free question. Ask anything you want! Any topic at all! [aka; best infodump]

i'm just gonna infodump about my favorite insects in my collection or what i want to have bc theyre my absolute favorites (since entomology is a big thing with a lot of stuff in it).

so, my favorite moth is spilosoma lubricipeda, the white ermine moth. its a day-flying moth, characterized by its orange abdomen and white wings with black dots. they are poisonous. they have long antennae branches. and theyre found in europe and asia (they have a few sibling species in china) my favorite type of bee is the blue carpenter bee (xylocopa caerula). theyre like, the prettiest color of blue and theyre less aggressive compared to other carpenter bees (and their wings have a pinkish iridescence to them). theyre from southeast asia. this is getting really long so im not gonna go on a big ramble for the others but the two beetles i really like are the javan fiddle beetle and the japanese rhinoceros beetle (i want to get tattoos of both of them). other notable moths are the polyphemes moth, luna moth, and atlas moth.

#.ask #ur my little scallywag so u can ask for more characters if u want #it was so hard for me to sit still while doing this #also my minecraft texture pack makes elytra look a little buggy which is cool bc yknow. beetles. elytra. v cool #longpost --

Caterpillars from the garden centre

Over the summer period I’ve had a chance to meet a good number of caterpillars at work -hundreds of different plants make for a great environment to spot a variety of species. I tried to identify them and learn something new, here are the ones I encountered regularly:

1. Acronicta psi, the grey dagger.

2. Pieris brassicae, the large cabbage white.

3. Trichoplusia ni, the cabbage looper.

4. Phlogophora meticulosa, the angle shades (brown & green morphs).

5. Operophtera brumata, the winter moth.

6. Spilosoma lubricipeda, the white ermine.

7. Orgyia antiqua, the rusty tussock moth.

Aside from their name and what they look like once their metamorphosis is complete, I read about what they prefer to feed on, so that now I have an idea of where I am more likely to find them hanging around. They might be “pests” in my workplace, but these finds are often the highlight of my day too!
