Uncharismatic Fact of the Day

Animals usually use bright colors as a warning to others that they're dangerous, but that isn't always the case. Eyelash vipers come in pink, green, or yellow, and they can use those colors to hide among bunches of bananas! Because of their ability to hide in plain sight, Bothriechis schlegelii has occasionally been shipped to other countries among exports of bananas.

If you send me proof that you’ve made a donation to UNRWA or another organization benefiting Palestinians, I’ll make art of any animal of your choosing.

today's drawing is another bit of mimicry-trickery...

the spider-tailed horned viper (Pseudocerastes urarachnoides) has an appendage on its tail that REMARKABLY mimics an arachnid. it even jitters it in a little figure-eight to copy the movements. to me, it looks kind of like a solifuge? which are found in almost all desert biomes.

in reality, they use their tails to lure in birds to eat, but I think it's just as likely they could lure in a lovestruck fool...😅😍
