Red-shouldered Bug (Jadera haematoloma), taken April 4, 2025, in Georgia, US
Just a little guy posing for a picture! He seemed to be following the camera as I tried to get different angles. This insect has two adult morphs: long-winged (macropterous) and short-winged (brachypterous). The short-winged morph has, as you could infer, shorter wings that leave part of the abdomen exposed. I've seen both forms in a solitary setting, though this species apparently tends to have higher rates of short-winged adults when they live in groups. Less need for wings when you don't have to go anywhere to find a mate!
I'm so brave every day I get recommended posts with johnny depp's busted face in them and I don't even tell op I hope they die one thousand deaths
The Largetooth Sawfish!
Fun Fact: It is found worldwide in tropical and subtropical coastal regions, but also enters freshwater!
"our flag means death what we do in the shadows and good omens should be the new superwholock" WRONG our flag means death black sails and pirates of the caribbean should be the new superwholock except now they're all pirate media with canonically queer people in them. like I cannot BELIEVE how soon you people forgot that jack sparrow is literally canonically gay divorced
"i’m really tempted to start writing potc fic but i’m afraid i’ll get WAY too into describing how the vessels are rigged etc instead of actually having a plot. who wants 6 chapters of me possessing jack and getting him to explain the difference between square rigging and fore and aft rigging to an unmentioned second person"
in a prison of my own making (forgot my specific expansive interpretation of a side character with five minutes of screen time was not, in fact, canon)
dung flies (Scathophaga) obviously have an even more unfairly negative reputation than the average fly, although i doubt most people could recognize one and some might even be charmed by their goofy proportions and golden fluff (even if this one isn't a great example of the latter). plus there are countless beloved animals that regularly eat shit and no one blinks an eye. butterflies. dogs. the british

The Epaulette Shark!
Fun Fact: The Epaulette Shark has the ability to survive low oxygen conditions by the switching of non-essential brain functions, which is helpful when hunting in tide-pools with low oxygen!
Some crickets and grasshoppers and my thoughts about them.
I've always been interested in bugs since I was real small.. I should draw them more often.

it’s kind of amazing how easily i can listen to almost any song in my spotify library and find a way to think about pirates of the caribbean
i love this clip
I think modern potc aus are so funny like the idea of jack having even the faintest possibility of being medicated for whatever the fuck he has going on just tickles me

just imagine what it's like to be me for five seconds what if you everyday had to go before the grand court of tumblrinas and be like "yeah I think this is one of the most interesting characters to somehow sneak his way into hollywood I think he's nuanced beyond what the average sane viewer will ever grasp I think he's severely misunderstood by like 90% of viewers and I'm a true unironic elitist about him" and the character in question is faggy the pirate disney's golden cashcow and face of a million lunchboxes. and he's in fortnite. and you're not allowed to kill myself
oh uh, your girlfriend? Yeah we put her in the kiln. Yeah at 2000 degrees. Shes a bowl now. Sorry.
The long-headed toothpick grasshopper (Achurum carinatum) lives and feeds among tall grass in the southeast US.
They’re flightless and not very fast or agile by grasshopper standards, but like a stick insect their camouflage seems to make up for it!
In Florida, they breed year-round and are abundant in this prairie habitat in January when few other insects are active.
Maybe if you looked at the diversity of loricariids then you'd feel better
