@myososheep submitted: Found this little guy on the bus window, so i took it and put it back outside. i know it's a weevil because of the snoot, but i'm unsure what kind, i live in france.

(also i'm learning a lot about bugs thanks to your blog and i'm always happy to see what bugs you will share with us :))

I'm glad you're learning a lot! I learn new stuff about bugs every day, too. This fella looks to me like a willow weevil, possibly Dorytomus longimanus!

Redoing the first post I ever did on this blog: Trying to assign a shark to CFO🦈

The first time i did this I was honestly very nervous about putting my stupid takes out into the fandom, but I'm ready now, and I have stronger CFO shark opinions. I'm linking to all the sharks' Wikipedia pages, for those interested in sharks!!

I gotta be honest, this is about Charles, but mostly this post is me sharing fun shark facts. I hope you guys are chill with that.

Same as the last time, I still have some honorable mentions.

(ALSO i tagged this post under some shark tags, this is the guy we're talking about, btw, I'd love for you guys to vote in the poll at the bottom of the post)

I considered something like the Basking Shark. However, they're quite large, and I think Charles looks harmless, so the Basking shark was out. Additionally, despite they're large size, they're pretty docile. They're one of the three species of sharks that eat plankton! But, I envisioned a slightly more slender, swift hunter type of shark.

I also considered a type of Thresher Shark, as I liked their unique appearance, but ultimately I couldn't decide on a species. I think I wanted Charles to be one just because they have cool caudal fins.

I very briefly considered The Great White, because to most people that's the shark. But I just wasn't feeling it. They're cute, but I don't see Charles being one.

In the original post I listed The Silky Shark, but I'm taking this back, because now that I think about it, I just wanted Charles to be a Silky Shark because they're my favorite....

Moving on to the real choices now.

Bull Shark (Carcharhinus leucas)

The Bull Shark is one of my favorite sharks. It's in the family Carcharhinidae, which makes it a Requiem Shark! (which is also where I get my tumblr name from) I didn't do this on purpose, but all the sharks in this list are actually Requiem Sharks. Requiem sharks are known for being very fast and efficient hunters, and of course the Bull Shark is no exception. Bull Sharks are known to be aggressive towards people, alongside the Great White and the Tiger shark (though don't let a certain awesome 1975 movie fool you, you're odds of being attacked by sharks are very slim, these bad boys are just know for doing it the most) Bull sharks are euryhaline, meaning they can adapt to water of varying salinity, meaning they can do just fine in freshwater. This sort of adaptability reminds me of Charles, and tbh, I think Bull Sharks just kind of look like him some how.

Blue Shark (Prionace glauca)

The Blue Shark looks like a goober. You can find them fucking everywhere, check out this map from Wikipedia. They're one of the most wide-spread shark species!

The Blue Shark's name isn't a stretch, they really are blue! Curious, and not typically aggressive, they've been known to approach divers. They're also known to be more social than other sharks, and sometimes travel in schools separated by sex, at least as juveniles. It's slender, streamlined appearance makes me think of Charles, in the sense that somehow the Blue shark looks like it'd wear a suit, but maybe more like a silly colored suit. Like blue! The long pectoral fins also remind me of him, for some reason. I don't know why, it's not like he has long arms?

If you're familiar with the BLÅHAJ, you may know the blue shark! The common name for Prionace glauca in both Swedish and Dutch is blåhaj, which just means Blue Shark!

Oceanic Whitetip Shark (Carcharhinus longimanus)

A shark with a very good design, look at that aesthetically pleasing coloring and the rounded fins? This is someone's OC shark, i swear. The Oceanic Whitetip is listed as critically endangered by the IUCN. They cannot pump water through their gills, so they're one of the shark species that has to always be moving! They're more leisurely while swimming, and have been known to breach the water.

Honestly, I think this is a good candidate for Charles shark because I just love the way these sharks look!

Sandbar shark (Carcharhinus plumbeus)

This silly guy is the Sandbar shark, one of the largest costal sharks in the world! They're known for their brownish coloring (another common name for them is the brown shark) and their tall dorsal fin. They also have rather large pectoral fins. They are listed as endangered, as they are hunted for their fins. I chose this shark honestly because it's brown, and the aforementioned tall dorsal fin. I was mostly choosing the sharks based on looks, and this one easily looks the most like Charles to me.

Anyways, thanks for reading my silly shark post! When I did this like, three months ago, I was working on this AU thingy, but I'd got totally sidetracked trying to assign a damn shark to Charles. The original idea was he was gonna be like... y'know, a mermaid or something, but I never got around to working on it, mostly because of the sharks. If you have any interest in it, I could do Dethklok/any one else from MTL as sharks. Honestly, i'd love an excuse to combine my interests.

Oh also.

Oceanic Whitetip (Carcharhinus longimanus)

Size: Up to 4 meters (13 feet) long

Range & Habitat: Oceanic whitetips can be found in pretty much any open ocean tropical or subtropical environment. They are almost never found near shore, though sometimes may be found on off-coast reefs.

Other: Oceanic Whitetips can be identified by their long, distinctive fins with their white tips, as their name suggests. Whitetips are typically the first sharks to arrive on the scene of a far-out sinking ship, and though other pelagic sharks are present, none are as feared by sailors as the whitetip.

Ishmael out here giving me an excuse to dump shark facts on everyone.

He refers to the “white shark” which today generally means Carcharodon carcharias. This is a member of the mackerel shark family. But this shark is fully countershaded. It’s belly is white but it’s back and fins are grey. A swimming great white shark would not be noted for its whiteness. It’s also found throughout the world in coastal waters, not limited to the tropics.

But there is another. Now known commonly as the oceanic white tip, it was once called the “lesser white shark.” Carcharhinus longimanus ranges throughout the open tropical oceans. It can be recognized by the white tips on each of its fins. And, it’s a member of the requiem shark family.

He looks so much better! The granulation on his "cheeks" helps identify him as a Heterometrus silenus, h. laoticus will have no granulation and h. spinifer and longimanus will have more granulation. H. silenus also has a unique sexual dimorphism where the movable finger has a large bump on the cutting edge in males. The chela (hand) of the claw is also rather smooth.
