every couple of months i go down a sort-of depression spiral about Thylacines, look at these silly mfs why the fuck did australians pick sheep (who were under no actual danger from them) over these !!!
Whale evolution poster I made for Da Kids :^)
(Featuring my mom’s classroom!)
She said all the kids love to stop and stare at it, and when she excitedly told them that I drew it they all rolled her eyes and said that a “human couldn’t draw that good,” and refused to believer her. She was upset that no one praised her, but I’m like, that’s goddamn right children, it’s me, your New God.
this mud dauber wasp (Sceliphron caementarium) seemed distressed about something in her clay nest. Turns out it had been commandeered by a keyhole wasp (Pachodynerus nasidens), who was now aggressively asserting ownership
keyhole wasps, which hunt weevils and other small beetles, will opportunistically nest in any sort of small cavity (such as a keyhole). The existing literature on this species doesn’t say anything about taking over other wasp‘s nests, only that they sometimes refurbish abandoned nests, but I guess this one didn’t get the memo.
This isn't the worst of their mischief though- they also have a habit of building nests that clog up the airspeed measuring instruments in planes and have caused several fatal crashes.
The final battle in Pokemon Scarlet is weirdly very good. I had to paint it. Boy howdy Koraidon is a real complex design but I wanted to do it right. I learned a whole ton on this one, took around 67 hours of paint time. That does not include despair time.
