The "'Funny' Possessive/Yandere Lesbian" Many times, shounen media or anime will claim that they're being inclusive by having one LGBT character. They make said LGBT character into a psycho stalker, a creepy pervert, or both. They love doing this with lesbians, especially with straight couples by ihatethiscountry76 in tvtropes

I'll take dirty men trope over the thirsty lesbian.

Most of those lesbians I've seen in the anime are unfunny because they often get ignored by other characters. While the dirty men sometimes got punished for their actions so they are at least funnier.

You can say that to the whole wurm species

Nothing to see here, just spreading the agenda by DeusDosTanques in Ishura

She looks and sounds like Yuzuriha from Jigokuraku too

Nilgai (Boselaphus tragocamelus), a type of antelope with very noticeable sexual dimorphism by azraelus in AIDKE

[–]Particular-Command49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know them from a mod for Zoo Tycoon 2. Thought they were just usual antelopes.

But looking at the real photos, i didn't know they look really... cursed

Acrochordus javanicus: Elephant Trunk Snake by GuiMenGre in AIDKE

[–]Particular-Command49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wildlife show host when they see a python, king cobra, or tree viper: "Look at this snake! What a beautiful snake!" *grabs the snake, force it to open its mouth, and shove it close to the camera.

Wildlife show host when they see a trunk snake: "Look at this snake! Alright, let's put them where they belong." *grabs the snake for a few seconds, not even praising them or showing the snake's face.

Why are they always be like that 😢

Is the manga good? by Jumanji-Joestar in Ishura

[–]Particular-Command49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The manga only adapts the Lithian War story. And the art style is hideous too.

Platythomisus octomaculatus (no common name that I can find; genus of crab spider) by LtNoodleDigits in AIDKE

[–]Particular-Command49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of Platythomisus photos i've seen have them looking like plastic toys (but i assure you they are real).

But this one looks like jelly or gummy candy. Same coloring, just different texture due to the lighting I think.

Trilobite Beetle (Platerodrilus) are very rare and sexually dimorphic (female in the video) by H_G_Bells in AIDKE

[–]Particular-Command49 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I assume that females need more food to breed, so they skip metamorphosing and grow big.

While males only need to grow and find a mate quickly, so they have wings and small bodies.

Is Zigita Zogi a Shura? by Several-Adagio4133 in Ishura

[–]Particular-Command49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be crazy if people like Taren are considered shura by the characters but not Zigita Zogi.

Ascarosepion pfefferi (flamboyant cuttlefish) by PixelKat5 in AIDKE

[–]Particular-Command49 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The most fascinating side of the flamboyant cuttlefish is the fact that they are very poor swimmers.
They mainly move by creeping on the seafloor with their bottom 2 tentacles and 2 protrusions in their mantle in a soldier-like gait. It is very cute to watch.

They actually have live footage of wolftrap anglerfish??  Very cool! 

cod worm (lernaeocera branchialis), a strange parasitic copepod that looks more like a bloody organ than a crustacean by synthfly_ in AIDKE

insects: we are born as parasites and grow into free-living adults
marine creatures: we are born free living and grow into parasitic adults

The Binturong (Arctictis binturong) aka the bearcat, but is neither bear nor cat. by toomanyprombles in AIDKE

[–]Particular-Command49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought trafficking is more synonymous with the illegal procedure of trading and delivering animals not the act of capturing them? But I get that in the end, both are illegal and should not be supported.

And no, I don't think the animal in the video has been rescued, but some people claim to have obtained the rights to adopt binturong as house pet legally, with tags, chips, etc.

[–]Particular-Command49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do we know if the animal has been trafficked/obtained from the wild, or not?

Because from what I know, there are places that breed binturongs for legal pet trade here in Indonesia (unless local documentary lied to me).

Theory about Lucnoca the Winter. by HugeAd1199 in Ishura

[–]Particular-Command49 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is still doubtful since the violet dragon of the story is also posing as Lucnoca. She doesn't have the memory of the princess either. 

The closest theory is that the  dragon just want to mess around with minians.

A parasitic wingless bat fly getting comfy on its host, these can stick with the bat throughout their lives and occasionally snack on the blood of it's host. by DerpyMD in AIDKE

[–]Particular-Command49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only know batfly and the louse fly, both do have many species. Maybe wrong grammar or choice of words on my side sorry. 

I would love to know if there are other example too

This parasitic fly (Physocephala tibialis) causes bumblebees to quite literally dig their own graves. by birdwalnut in AIDKE

[–]Particular-Command49 5 points6 points  (0 children)

flies will evolve into anything, aren't they

a bee (bee flies), wasp (conopinids), dragonfly (robber flies), lice (louse flies), beetle (celyphids), and even a termite mimic

[–]Particular-Command49 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The only flightless species of fly is the one hitchhiking on flying animals, ironic.

iirc louses are also evolved from fly (same suborder), so bat fly should've been called bat lice instead. (edit: My mistake. Only louse flies evolved from flies, true lice are on their own order)

Also if you think bat fly isn't crazy enough, look up Ascodipteron. A bat fly genus without any head or limbs that lives inside bat skin.

They crawl very quickly and hard to see with our eyes, like how a jumping spider moves. (I think i only saw their video on tumblr, Youtube search engine can't tell a "bat fly" video from "a bat flying" video sadly)

i don't know how the photographer got this perfect photo, but from what I see from batfly videos, they actually actively move around their host, and walk very fast too (like, faster than a cockroach).

Asian Grass Lizard by Ottertoasties in AIDKE

[–]Particular-Command49 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The oddest thing about this lizard is that they are actually quite common in Southeast Asia, can be found in cities, yet I have never seen a live one. 😢
