Scientific Name: Strymon melinus Common Name(s): Gray hairstreak Family: Lycaenidae (gossamer-winged butterfly) Life Stage(s): Adult Location: Plano, Texas Season(s): Summer

The orange abdomen indicates this is a male.

Many butterflies and moths have eyespots on their wings, either to repel predators or to divert attention away from the head to a less vulnerable part of the body. Hairstreaks (subfamily Theclinae), with their thin tails extending from the hindwings, add movement to this illusion: the hindwings scissor up and down to flick the tails in a way similar to twitching antennas. Together with the nearby eyespots, it does a convincing job of tricking an onlooker into thinking the rear of the butterfly is actually the front. The effect can be best seen starting at 1:23 in the video (not mine) below.

A gray hairstreak butterfly, I think? Wing rubbing behavior here could be defensive (to make its rear end look more like a front end, diverting attention from its real head) or, if it’s male, to disperse pheromones.

September 2022: Bees, Butterfly & Beans

Between yesterday & this morning, something (I suspect a rat) pulled these bean pods off one of our bush bean plants: 

These are actually beans I planted from one of those bags of dried soup bean mixes. These pods could have stood to stay on the plant longer but, like I said, a varmint yanked them off & ate half of one beans:

I saw this originally when I was still feeling ill, and I think it cured me actually :)

[fatuismooches]

Hello, so I didn’t see anything in you rules about like pregnancy/parenting so just sharing my brain rot, but feel free to delete this ask if it makes you uncomfortable!!

But, Smooches, as a little guy obsessed with genetics and science (planning on getting a degree in biology and other human sciences!!!ヽ(•̀ω•́ )ゝ✧ (my love for dottore has made me more and more of a deranged scientist…)) I’m just thinking about the Harbingers and how strong/dominant their genes might be…

We’ve only seen one of Childe’s siblings (Teucer) but I imagine in genes are STRONG cause his brother is almost the same as him 😭😭 Like you guys have a kid and they have the same blue eyes and ginger hair as Childe!

I also think it would be funny to have a kid with Dottore. I personally believe his genes are actually pretty recessive, but it’s funny to imagine having a kid with him and they look so similar to him everyone thinks it’s another one of his clones! It’s not until they get older or maybe call Dottore ‘father’ or something that it clicks in everyone’s mind that they’re not a clone!

Also, so many of the Fatui Harbingers have multi-colored hair (Arlecchino, Pantalone, Pierrio, Childe and Scaramouche all having a lighter or darker streak. I assume Columbina’s is dyed?) Just imagine their kid inheriting that!!

Oughh… i know all the harbingers would probably be terrible parents but I wanna be all domestic and lovey with them so bad 😭😭 [📺]

UGH YES THIS IS VERY CUTE,,, I TOO AM THINKING ABOUT THIS NOW! But yeah, I guess I never really thought about it but, you are right they look super alike 😭. (But honestly, I wouldn't be surprised when we meet the rest of Childe's family in Snezhnaya, they all look the same purely because that's what is easiest for HYV 😭)

Having a kid with Childe would be like having a mini him around and he absolutely adores it. It would be funny if you two kept trying to have a mini you, but instead all you got was mini Childes running around the place. 😭 AND DOTTORE 😭 I love that no one realizes it's his actual kid because 1. he's not going out of his way to explain the whole situation and 2. no one is questioning the existence of another blue-haired red-eye rascal. (Though when some people *cough those three particular annoying Harbingers* start to get too close to his kid, his irritation is noticeable.)

I imagine their kid does inherit the hairstreak, but in a different part of their hair 🥹 (Also, Pantalone's and Childe's hair streaks make me WDBAHDABWDW i love it sm. But then again the angst hcs of Pantalone getting the gray streak from using his Delusion make me🥲)

Okay but just hear me out on them being parents!! 😤 Well it's obvious Dottore is... Dottore. He struggles to even be a good husband sometimes, so being a parent is... territory none of us can fathom. But, you know I like to think at the very least, he'll remember how he was treated as a kid when he looks at his child,,, especially if his child looks similar to him. Honestly, he leaves a lot of the actual early parenting to you because well,,, he is Dottore, he does not know how to do these kinds of things, his hands are not meant to raise and love. A lot of the time you have to force him to, and well a lot of the time he spends with his kid is them sitting on his lap while he dumps a lot of scientific facts on his child (trying his best to avoid any unethical ones) Really,, he does love his kid, but the way he shows it well,, will need a lot of work (he has a lot of time to improve though because he'll expand the life span of them as well 😅)

Childe, most obviously, would be a very good father if you ask me. He is a family man, he's taken care of his siblings for a long time, he knows exactly what to do not just for his kid but for you too. Despite how his job may keep him away for periods of time, he spends every ounce of free time that he can give away with his kid!! Pantalone too I think would be good, a lot of it stems from how he struggled a lot as a child and he can never imagine his own child ever going through the same as him,, so i can see him as a pretty good parent :3

See, Pierro has the potential to be a very good parent, however, his job literally consumes all of his time,,, like of course he wants to spend time with his kid! He wants to tell them all about his old home and teach them the history and all! But the Fatui, the Celestia, all of it is far too important for him to spend extended amounts of time with his kid. 💔 And he refuses to let his kid mess up their sleep schedule to spend them with him at ungodly hours of the night... 😭 Capitano, another one who has potential! Unfortunately, as much as you taught him how to be more human and how to love, dealing with a kid is a whole other situation that he has no clue how to navigate,, by all means, he wants to learn, he wants to be a good dad, but it's,, a lot for him. Also scared of hurting his kid because of how tiny they are compared to him,, 😭 When the kid gets older though he starts to settle more in though!

Scaramouche, well, it's canon he's fond of kids! He'll be yelling and insulting everyone else but the minute his kid stumbles into his office all of a sudden he's calm! But with all of his trauma and other stuff going on, he doesn't become a better parent until he becomes Wanderer,, it's then when he really devotes more attention to raising his kid. Also is unconsciously overprotective of his kid because of how he lost the little boy centuries ago, so at least they'll never be in harm's way!

Arlecchino already has experience parenting, though she has work to do in like... the emotional and bonding section. Though she holds her children in the orphanage in a fond light, she still keeps them at arm's length because they are her soldiers... but she loves her kid very much!! Columbina is like, the fun parent, you're the one doing the discipline,, She is the one who loves to dress up your kid,, the one who probably lets them get away not eating their veggies 😭 But she is very very scary when she's mad so your kid knows not to get on her bad side!! Also good at putting the kid to sleep with her singing! Sandrone- well... kind of similar to Dottore. You and her child are the only two people she likes. But she also struggles a lot, and leaves a lot of parenting up to you,, though she and her robots keep a very watchful eye on the kid, she does not want them getting hurt with all the things around her lab! She ends up gaining more confidence when she finds out her kid likes to be in her lab during robot rides 🥹 Signora, I can also see being a pretty good parent! She just gives that vibe! I like to think she also has somewhat of a soft spot for kids! She loves taking care of her kid and watching them grow up :3

(Good luck with pursuing your degree btw! All of that sounds quite cool and I wish you all the best :3)

#smooches talks #📺 anon #harbingers love notes <3 #i relate to this ask bc i want to be domestic with them so bad even tho im scared of having kids 🙏❤️ #SCREAMING i probably sound mad delusional in this post trying to make them as good parents 😭😭💥 #the little ヽ(•̀ω•́ )ゝ✧ was so cute btw #unrelated but i think its very cool to see how dottore has influenced us sm.. i have other moots who degree was influenced by dottie as wel #(i am an accounting major but i like to think pantalone would be proud of me)

[Image ID: A character sheet with two characters on it. On the left side is a human version of Arcee from Transformers Prime, who is drawn as a middle-aged asian woman. She is muscular and has a haircut that is somewhere between a mullet and a mohawk, with shaved sides. Her hair is black with blue and pink streaks. Her eyes are brown and she has some eyeliner and lipstick, but not a lot. Her face is scarred, as are her arms and upper chest. She's standing with her hands on her hips with a determined but smiling expression. She has simple metal earrings and is wearing a blue cropped leather jacket with rolled up sleeves and the autobots logo on the left shoulder, a dark gray shirt, black biker gloves, black trousers with blue and pink geometric stripes and black boots. Her right arm has a tattoo in the shape of abstract stripes. The design notes placed around her read as follows: "Biker gloves", "cropped jackets seem to be this team's thing", "she can have hairstreaks and eyeliner, as a treat" "I made her look about late 30s to early 40s, I redid all the lineart for her face a few times when I wasn't happy with it", "I tried to give her a tattoo in the shape of the Autobots logo but it didn't look good. I still wanted to give her some tattoos, hence the stripes". On the right side of the page is a human version of Bumblebee from the same franchise, who is drawn as a young black man. He's also standing with his hands on his hips and smiling pleasantly. The sides of his head are also shaved, and he has a single dyed yellow streak in his hair. His eyes are brown and he has a little bit of gold eyeliner. There are two distinctive scars by the side of his mouth, and one surgical scar on his throat. He's wearing a yellow bomber jacket with black lapels and the autobots logo on the left shoulder, a white shirt, a black belt with a gold buckle, black cargo trousers with yellow stripes running down each side and black shoes with yellow stripes and shoelaces. The shoes are somewhere between high-top sneakers and hiking shoes. His nails are painted black and he has a silver dog tag and a necklace in the shape of a bumblebee. The design notes placed around him read as follows: "He can have a little bit of eyeliner - as a treat", "probably around 25", "never before has there been a guy who listens to Imagine Dragons as unironically as this one", "I combined hiking boot soles with high-top sneakers for traction, mobility and ankle support". Placed next to him is a picture of Buffins, the cat with the most appealing expression. Below the picture is the text "The resemblance is uncanny". / End ID]
