My interpretation of the sky dog chrysalis from @xiranjayzhao book iron widow. 

( Sooooo the sky dog Tiangou from my very superficial research appears to be depicted a couple different ways for example as a black dog, meteor or oddly a white headed fox? I don’t know how reliable Wikipedia is on the subject. So I decided to base it on a dog breed from China the chow chow. With a ball in its mouth as a reference to the sky dogs eating the sun or moon during eclipses. I don’t think the sky dog was actually depicted in the book we only saw it’s Male pilots who wore a earth-type spirit metal suit so it’s safe to assume that the sky dog is also made of earth-type of spirit metal.)

need to shake the Monarch by the shoulders and ask why he didn't call the Cocoon "the Chrysalis"

#butterflies make chrysalises #moths make cocoons #chrysalis sounds cooler AND looks cooler than cocoons #i know hes just bad at naming shit but my guy missed the opportunity for the coolest looking ship ever and im not gonna be silent any longer #the monarch #the venture bros #venture bros #malcolm fitzcarraldo

#im picturing everyone gathering around The Chrysalis with silly straws #Partake In The Soup. Partake In The Soup. #howdy emerges and he's short now #they straight up drank half of him #rambles from the bog #yassified howdy <3 #my first thought reading this ask was the COME GET YALL JUICE vine #actually wait now you have me wondering... Would it be warm and acidic #warm.. yeah probably there's a lot of activity goin on & energy being used #acidity... hold on im doing Research for this gimme a sec #well for yall reading this its instantaneous. for me ive had this ask open for fifteen minutes #alright so caterpillars have been described as tasting nutty / leafy / earthy / meaty #just saw one description say 'if trees were made of meat thats what they taste like' #and caterpillar Soup is very very Very protein-rich #now lets look up what chitin looks like since im 90% certain thats what chrysalises are made of #hmmm the only things im seeing is it would either be mostly tasteless or nutty #then lets look at the flavor of enzymes... im seeing sour notes... #this taking too long okay Basically caterpillar soup #would be protein-y maybe a little leafy or sour... hints of nuttiness... and of course the overwhelming flavor of Guilt & Disgust #thank you for listening to this ted talk. im getting nauseous thinking about what the texture must be like

Me: I haven’t seen any larger-instar caterpillars yet. The wasps must be eating them all or something.

The larger-instar caterpillars: hey I’m outside let me in

WHY

ARE YOU CHRYSALIZING

ON A SHEER VERTICAL SURFACE

OUTSIDE MY FRONT DOOR?????

You couldn’t find a branch or a horizontal beam on a fence? You had to go for the wide of the foyer?? Not even the ceiling?? Or the overhang by the garage?? No, right by the front door? On a 90 degree vertical surface???

#caterpillars #monarch caterpillar #monarch butterfly #pollinator gardening #im judging this caterpillar so hard rn #i dont have the courage to move chrysalises but if I did. i would be moving this motherfucker #what is your plan here sir

Moth terminology!

The larval stage of a moth is the stage where it is a juvenile caterpillar - yes, moths are caterpillars first! Usually moth caterpillars are the spikey ones you don't wanna touch. The pupa stage of a moth can also be called a chrysalis. Only moths are butterflies can have their pupae stages referred to as chrysalises, otherwise, all other insects are called pupae! The outer layer that protects a moth's pupa when metamorphosing is called a cocoon - usually those are leaves or woven silk. Inside a cocoon, the moth pupa's body will digest itself and reform into an adult moth. When the moth emerges, it must rest on a leaf or stationary surface and unfurl their wings. Usually the wings don't already come unfurled is because they have to fold them to fit in the cocoon.

#idk i thought it would be fun since i see most people confusing cocoons and chrysalises and pupa etc #it's p fun actually hehe

Our first baby butterfly!

#flowers #gardening #butterflies #butterfly #we have six caterpillars and two other chrysalises at last count

[monstrous-femme]

egads personal growth is hard and emotional. worth it tho i think

#idk man idk #i'm chrysalising hard rn

[iscabird]

at my work there's a chain fence dedicated to growing plants eaten specifically by cairns birdwing butterflies

this is one of the latest chrysalises on the vines! and i even managed to find its last larval shedding on the ground below it

#cw insects #cairns birdwing #caterpillar #i never knew that caterpillars shed to become a chrysalis #of course i also assumed that cocoons and chrysalises were synonymous

[spoipage]

our second monarch has emerged!

#as we see eggs/caterpillars we've been grabbing them and putting em in a cage with milkweed #since they're endangered now and most of our wild caterpillars seem to die #we have 3 other chrysalises and 5 caterpillars currently. you can see em in the background

I really wish we'd teach about seasons based on where the kid lives and not on this midwestern/northeastern ideal of spring/summer/fall/winter.

My kiddo is learning about leaves changing color and falling off trees while she lives in Florida. She asked us when the leaves would fall here and I had to break it to her: never.

What I wished she'd learn instead, and which she will:

Autumn isn't falling leaves in Florida -- it's hurricanes and wildflowers. We tend to the monarch butterflies passing through and don't clear out the brush lest we clear out their chrysalises. We reclaim the evenings from summer's last grasps and await every cold front.

Winter isn't snow and ice here -- it's enjoying the beauty around us, exploring the woods, going outside without risking exsanguination by mosquito. Winter is our season of bounty, of relief. And sometimes, yes, we have to cover the plants to protect them from frost and we leave footprints on the grass in the morning. Here is our season of abundance, of frost-kissed oranges and lemons, of strawberries picked with your breath clouding your hands, of blueberries gathered in skirts. Kale and lettuce, beets and greens, it's all here for us in winter.

Spring isn't the season of hope it is up North. It's an end, a swelling of heat so sudden you swear by it. Florida kids need to know it's lovebug season and every bug season, it's gator baby season, it's beach before tourists season, and it's also fire season. The air is sticky but the trees are dry and an early thunderstorm could ignite it all, so be careful. Be careful.

Summer is our winter and it's shit. You step outside and you melt. It's hurricane season, but not really. More like hurricane preparatory season. They should teach kids here to check their supplies and how to chart a hurricane's movement. Summer is about wearing a jacket inside, because everywhere has the a/c cranked up. Kids need to learn how to cover themselves head to toe in insect repellant and sunscreen.

Instead of learning all that, my kid's gonna come home this week sad again that we don't have snow.

#florida #florida childhood #I could write so much more but let's leave it at this #florida seasons #Arizona seasons are what made me realize how insane it is we only learn about the NE seasons. AZ has like 6 seasons
