@dismalsheen submitted: Hello, could you help me IDing this bug? Found in northern Italy—I don't need anything super specific, so I hope these pics will be enough :/
To make up for the not-very-remarkable fella, I also offer these shiny friends being naughty on a sage plant 🫣🤭
I don't recognize the first guy offhand, but I'd say maybe in the fungus gnat and gall midge superfamily, Sciaroidea, just given its general shape. And likely a male, with antennae like those, I would think. But I'm not any kind of confident on that, so if anyone else recognizes it or can track down a god match on iNat, feel free to share.
LOVE the rosemary beetles, though! Sorry for interrupting their intimate moment

sparks fly au - meet our girl!
introducing our young economics genius, certified family girl- josephine!
josephine amalia knies
she’s 23
born on june 22, 2000
she’s usually called josie by her family, but matthew calls her “jo-jo”
loves her family endlessly (however sometimes this can result in her prioritizing their happiness above her own)
attended the university of minnesota, and was a senior when matthew was a freshman
majored in economics, minored in marketing as well as communications
when matthew gets drafted to toronto in 2021, she’s 21, she starts job searching/networking while she can before graduation, getting offers from all over. around her birthday, she gets an offer from a company out of toronto, a position she could’ve only dreamt of- but she’s hesitant to accept, terrified of the distance it would put between her and her family.
but the instant matthew is drafted, she accepts. because she knows her brother, she knows his talent, and was probably more confident than he was that he’d find immediate success on the team.
during the fall of matthews sophmore year, her company is invited out to a maple leafs game- exclusive access, and a little meet and greet sort of situation set up for after the game.
the minute willy sets eyes on her, it’s over for him.
only thing he doesn’t know? the fact that she’s the incoming rookie’s older sister.

some dgr doodles i did last night
ft: the toxic yuri enogiri au i have in my head where they were dating before the killing game started. throughout the actual game, kyoko has the vaguest recollection that she has some kind of deep connection with the mastermind behind it all, and junko is both rooting for and actively sabotaging her girlfriend by dropping hints about their relationship. which leads to some intensely disconcerting inner turmoil for kyoko as she tries to figure out what the hell she's gonna do when she uncovers the mastermind's secrets, and if she really wants to do that at all
and naegami horses ig
