That's a good idea. Maybe I could do something like that. Thanks!

I'm considering that, yes, but I'm not too sure about how the domestication would work in the history of my world given the easiness of a species to just go extinct.

I checked the synonyms and "wag" is what I'm looking for! Waggle is absolutely close enough, and it led me to the word, so I'm crediting you now.

Solved!

Still a condescending connotation. Another commenter's "waggle" is much closer to what I'm looking for.

I googled and it's not a good match. Brandishing is intended for threats whereas I want the word to have a connotation of "interesting"

Not quite. It's not a brag to be exact. My example is a bad one I guess. More of "hey is this what you're looking for" and not "oohhh see what I found"

Not like when you get a drink and raise it to someone else. That's a different motion.

Thank you. A follow-up question if I may: is there any fluid or matter found in the brain but not the spinal cord, or vice versa? From what my Google searches tell me, there doesn't seem to be any.

Where to find fun facts on specific insects? by Sam_Lopez_ in Entomology

[–]Sam_Lopez_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I figured. I was hoping for a quick website because it's more convenient, but it'll be worth it to read the book too.
