They do not have any issues) Pinstripe (Gets confused with spider) Bamboo (Gets confused with woma/spider etc) Enchi (Gets confused with woma or spider) Lesser/mojave BEL (Gets confused with super lessers) Hypo (any strain) (Gets confused with caramel albino?) Super stripe (Not even sure what this one gets confused with honestly) G-stripe (Same with this, no idea)

Living Decay

Curled in the heart of the forest lie an elk

still and quiet, he waits

in the shadows of nightfall, 

and lets the cold embrace his stationary form. 

When dawn comes

he remains, rooted to the ground

warming the earth where he lay,

nourishing the soil.

As weeks pass his soft exterior

gives way to a brittle and unforgiving interior

yet still

a family of small mammals find their way into his ribcage

and bring life back into his

hollow body.

Generations of forest creatures will come to know

his body as a beacon of being,

and a symbol of home.

Tumblr for some reason is not letting me publish asks but anyway…

The fuzzy fur-like stuff that covers a lot of moths is actually modified scales, like the scales on their wings, made of a substance called chitin, rather than keratin as in mammal hair. Chitin also makes up their exoskeleton. Wing scales are used to absorb heat, possibly to assist with flight, and to display colors/patterns as defense/camouflage or to attract a mate. The fuzz on their body is thought to muffle the sonar of predatory bats as well as keep them warmer in the chilly night air. Unlike mammal hair, though, these scales are not continually growing and cannot be replaced if lost or damaged.

Here’s a fun extreme macro photo of a sunset moth’s wing scales and longer modified hair-like scales:

Halloween 2019.

I was on the bus home and Glass Animals released a new song. It was 12 minutes long and called “Dave Bayley From Glass Animals Is Gay” and as soon as I tried to play it, I woke up.
