I see. Good Omens is included in the fandoms you write for, yes? And are Harry Potter and BBC Sherlock also included?

Do you also do match ups or only fanfics?

Do you mean match ups between readers and characters or two characters? Either way, I'll admit I'm not familiar with this, but why not!

*suddenly wonders if they know enough characters to do that and keep it varied*

I mean between character and reader. It works by people describing themselves to you as detailed as possible and you tell them what character would fit them as a partner and why.

And if you want to go the extra mile, you can even add a (smaller) fanfic. But so far I've never seen anyone do that.

I agree with the bite as I am a person who got bitten by a praying mantis two times (because my idiot ass accidentally spooked the poor creature). But they're very beautiful and unique beings with five eyes!

Praying Mantis

Mantis religiosae

The Praying Mantis can be identified by its typically bright green coloring and long, skinny body. It is commonly found in environments around moist and vegetation-rich areas such as forests and gardens.

Like most mantids, the Praying Mantis is a solitary insect and prefers to hunt alone.

The Praying Mantis is an carnivore and typically feeds on small insects, including flies, moths, spiders and crickets, but has been know to fight (and eat) small animals like, lizards, birds, frogs etc.

Some of its predators are birds, spiders, hornets, and lizards.

Fun fact: Praying mantises have exceptional eyesight and can rotate their heads 180 degrees.

Contrary to popular belief, The Praying Mantis is (currently) not listed as endangered, and is generally beneficial to the environment as it helps control the population of pests.

The Praying Mantis can be known to have parasitic relationships with horsehair worms (praying mantis-host, horsehair worm-parasite)

The stealth movements of the praying mantis have made it a symbol of meditation and contemplation. In China, the insect has long been honored for its mindful movements; It never makes a move unless it is certain that is the right thing to do.

it is not advisable to handle a Praying Mantis without proper training as they have a strong bite and can cause pain to humans if mishandled. However, they are generally not aggressive towards humans and will only defend themselves when provoked.

My person rating: 5/5 ★★★★★

I love mantids, they are extremely unique creatures and are one of my favorite bugs to keep and observe!

(Keep in mind this rating is just my personal opinion, you can feel differently about the praying mantis, There is no correct answer for how to feel about bugs!)

Thanks for reading and happy bug spotting! if you've got any questions or just want to chat bug stuff feel free to comment or dm me!

If i missed something or messed up a fact please comment and correct me!

I hope @consult-sherlockholmes didn't dislocate his hip! Because I sure know what that feels like! Can't you just force Sherlock to let you examine him, @consult-johnhwatson??? 🕷️❤️🥰😘😍✨💯🥹🥺😅😭🥲😳☺️👉🏻👈🏻

In case anyone claims I fell down the stairs, no I did not fall down the stairs. There is no evidence for that. I am much too agile and have too fast reflexes to do such a simple mistake as slip on the stairs.

*Snorts* So he actually did indeed fall down the staircase and probably gave poor Mrs. Hudson a heart attack! 🕷️❤️🥰😘😍✨😂🤣😌😁😉☺️💯👉🏻👈🏻

Does your broken butt fell better today, Sherly? 🕷️❤️🥰😘😍🥺🥹😭😳🥲😅☺️😉😁😌😂🤣👉🏻👈🏻

My posterior is not broken. The majority of it consists of muscles like the gluteus maximus, which you can't really break.

Concerning my bruised non-injured coccyx and sacrum, I might have palpated them when if I had fallen on them. And the theoretical palpation showed no broken or moving parts. No x-ray necessary given that a broken coccyx can't be treated with a cast anyway given you can't immobilise the bone properly.

But of course such a theoretical injury takes some days to heal and several impact points on legs and arms have bruises when you fall down the stairs. Hematoma usually take a few weeks to heal, as well as the pain to lessen. All theoretical, of course.

It's a figure of speech, sweetie, I just wanted you to know that I'm ready to listen to whatever you're about to explain! 🕷️❤️🥰😘😍🥺🥹☺️😉😁😌🤣😂👉🏻👈🏻

Poop, poor consulting detective... Want me to bite and poison the stairs for you, @consult-sherlockholmes? 🕷️❤️🥰😘😍😌😁😉☺️🥲😳😅😭✨👉🏻👈🏻

How much money would it cost me for you to give me a strip tease show?

Obviously, more than what your dignity is worth.

The amount being "Absolutely-Not-Ever" with a generous side of "Mocking-Sarcasm".

And me! I like flies! 🕷️❤️🥰😘😍😌☺️😉😁✨💯🥳🤤👉🏻👈🏻

Hi Jim! Did you miss me?

- @consult-sebmoran

Again? You drop and pop up like flies.

Which is perfect for someone like me.

That is literally me in a nutshell! 🕷️❤️🤣

My dreams haven't really been subtle lately.

It would be almost as perfect as our friendship, wouldn't it, Mycroft? 🕷️❤️😘😍🥰😌☺️😉😁✨👉🏻👈🏻

Entomomania doesn't have anything to do with fear. It's the total opposite. It's the abnormal love for insects.

So what do you think about people that are utterly obsessed and head over heels in love with all kinds of bugs?

And yes, the cake is dark chocolate and it's also home made. I hope you liked it.

You are quite right. Thankfully, our resident arachnid expert @talking-tarantula was able to catch that unfortunate blunder.

So, what is my opinion on people that have an unnatural obsession with insects and spiders? Whatever keeps you occupied and away from illegal activities, all the better. Better to have an obsession and make a decent career out of it, than to have no interests and drown in mediocrity.

Oh

Homemade, you say? Well, who am I to deny you the satisfaction of gifting a work of art to someone such as myself. I shall savor it all the more.

Shame the user is anonymous! We'd probably become friends if I could dm them! 🕷️❤️😘😍🥰😌☺️😉😁✨👉🏻👈🏻

I've been able to successfully let her go back into the wild. Or better phrased yet, she decided it was time to go back to her life in the wild herself.

Of course I've hurried outside and was worried at first, but after some time I was able to watch her reconnecting with her family.

I watched her being fed by her Mom, which was cute but hit right home. I was kind of sad that she's gone now and I have no bird to care for anymore, but I was also really happy to know that Elischeba is healthy and back with her family. But I do have to admit that I still miss her a lot... 🕷️😘😍🥰😌☺️😉😁🥹🥺👉🏻👈🏻

Hi there, Mr. Holmes! What are your thoughts about arachnophilia and entomomania? *Leaves big chocolate cake for you*

Arachnophilia and entomomania? How thoroughly... intriguing. The love of spiders and the fear of insects. I suppose everyone needs a lexicon hobby.

Without proper context, I'm afraid I don't have any interesting thoughts on them.

As for the cake, your offering is duly noted. I trust it is dark chocolate?

Isn't entomomania the obsession with insects? Also, can I have some of the cake too? That looks so good! 🕷️❤️😘😍🥰😌😅☺️😉😁🥹🥺🤤🥳💯👉🏻👈🏻

Fine, I'll take the Katydid. But just so he knows, I would greatly prefer a tarantula.

Spiders are not insects, they're arachnids. But that is a very beautiful latrodectus tredecimguttatus nonetheless. Did you take the picture yourself? I have to admit the picture has a rather good quality! 🕷️❤️

God: How fancy do you wanna be?

The larvae: YES.

After years of observing these caddisfly larvae, French naturalist and artist, Hubert Duprat, wondered if the caddis flies would use any materials to build their cocoon. He introduced flakes of gold, pearls and opals to the caddis flies and they did in fact use them for their cocoons. They use their own silk as the glue to hold their pupal constructions together.

You're drunk after four beer already?

Okay alright so i had four beers and some hot and sour instant noodles for dinner and decided to treat my future self to a less shitty hangover in the morning so i grabbed the half full mug of water that had been sitting on my kitchen counter for 36 hours and took a big swig but felt something in my mouth and this is what i spat out

I'd switch with Mycroft, because I'm fat he's got a suit of armor.

Community

I have been notified of a new feature on this website, so I decided to make a little experiment and create a community of my own. Although I am usually not a very community-oriented person as you all know and rather a recluse, I am still ready to experiment with new features. Maybe it turns out to be useful or fun, who knows.

But anyway, if you want to join and become a part of the only consulting detective's community, you may comment on this post and I will send you an invite. For whatever reason it only works when I send an invite, which is quite tedious.
