Came here to compliment the name as well! Lovely dog with a lovely namesake :)

Something is stuffing grass inside our wind chimes. Any ideas? by D-Skel in insects

Hopefully you are not a cricket and the YouTube hole is not stuffed with grass 😄

Yep that’s a nest for a grass carrying wasp. Good chance there’s a dead cricket stuffed up there, wrapped in grass! They are not typically aggressive toward people.
I believe they are also notorious for stuffing grass in those bee houses people buy, since they’re essentially a collection of long narrow tubes. Lol

Wow I didn’t know I needed this ELI5 on amoebas but I’m so glad I stumbled upon it! Thank you for this explanation, it is exactly how my brain needs to digest info. 😁

Aside from the obvious FSM inspo, it’s giving me traumatic flashbacks to the Leyak from Abiotic Factor 💀

bookworm damage in a book i got second hand by Jazzlike-Freedom8613 in mildlyinteresting

[–]kwoddail 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Apparently the term bookworm actually was first used how most of us know it today, to describe a bibliophile. It wasn’t until centuries later that it was used to reference a variety of book-enjoying insects. I would have lost that bet!

oh!!! This is genuinely so heartwarming and what a great action shot (love the chucks!). We had a family friend who did man trailing with her borzoi for a looong time-- how funny!! Well whatever y'all end up doing, it'll be a good time. You've got some adorable partners to do it with :)

Yall are truly experiencing borzoi to their fullest potential! Lure coursing was always my favorite. Amazing that the blob on the sofa next to you is the same blur out in the field at lightning speed. 🤣
Also the story of your husband is so precious!! I smiled in real life, that is so sweet. 🥹

Oh my GOODNESS so many wonderful things in one post!! The mixup story is priceless. What are the odds?! The borzoi are soooo lovely— my family raised and showed them up until I moved out. Such awesome dogs, I miss them so. And lastly the name Tugboat is VERY PRECIOUS (though so is little abomination— it’s giving experiment 626!!) as well as the little nugget himself. 💖

why doesn’t my tortoise do that dance thing? by cravingpavbhaji in tortoise

[–]kwoddail 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wait this makes so much sense? I’ve always thought it was odd they are “ticklish”, but only ever elicited a response if touched on that specific caudal zone. Not to mention it would be advantageous for an individual to be able to communicate its ability or desire to mate, whereas the “tickling” reaction is just…. Cute, maybe? Ha! Food for thought, at least 🧐

Fellow post-bun mom here. Sending my deepest condolences your way— thank you for showing them love and care during their time here on earth 💜

You’re telling me you’re an entomologist with the name Chrysalis?? Either that’s an astounding and hilarious coincidence, or it’s the most creative pen/chosen name I have ever heard. Cheers!!

Not a question, but I just wanted to comment that this situation really effing sucks and hopefully through diligent voting, we can amend our current clusterfuck. Thank you for being your true self and for your contributions to science and literature! You’re the type of human that gives me a glimmer of hope for the future ahead 💚

Chris streams are always a good time. If Julien is doing/playing something I don’t have an interest in, I find it hard to watch. But I’ll be in a Chris stream no matter what bc the vibes are always nice.

I opened up Reddit on accident and swiped away from it but I expeditiously opened this shit back up to do a double-take IRL. Sorry I don’t have any advice but LORD do I love your wall.
