Saunderâs case moth, Metura elongatus, Psychidae
Found in the eastern half of Australia and Tasmania, the Saunderâs case moth is a type of bagworm. Females remain in their larval case for life - before, during, and after pupation; they are wingless even as adults. The case itself is made of silk and covered with bits of leaf and twigs that act as camouflage. Males emerge from their case after pupation to seek a mate.
Unfortunately I wasnât able to find a photo to share of an adult female; the ones above are adult males, a caterpillar in its case, and a pupa.

I feel like there are probably too many people just scrolling past this so letâs go through everything thatâs going on here.Â
1. With Rogerâs voice actor standing off camera, Bob Hoskins acts into empty air and frantically sawing at his handcuff, continually looking up and down at different visual marks of various depths. Look at the slow pan up of his eyes in gif 4, and then the quick shift to his side. Think about how, on set, he was looking at nothing.Â
2. Starting in gif 2, The box must be made to stop shaking, either by concealed crew member, mechanism, or Hoskins own dextrousness, as he is doing all of the things mentioned in point 1.Â
3. In all gifs, Rogerâs handcuff has to be made to move appropriately through a hidden mechanism. (If you watch the 4th gif closely you can see the split second where it is replaced by an animated facsimile of the actual handcuff, but just for barely a second.)
4. The crew voluntarily (we know this because it is now a common internal phrase at Disney for putting in extra work for small but significant reward) decided to make Roger bump the lamp and give the entire scene a constantly moving light source that had to be matched between the on set footage and Roger. This was for two reasons, A) Robert Zemeckis thought it would be funnier, and B) one of the key techniques the crew employed to make the audience instinctually accept that Toons coexisted with the live action environment was constant interaction with it. This is why, other than comedy, Roger is so dang clumsy. Instead of isolating Toons from real objects to make it easier for themselves, the production went out of its way to make Toons interact more with the live action set than even real actors necessarily would, in order to subtly, constantly remind the audience that they have real palpable presence. You can watch the whole scene here, just to see how few shots there are of Roger where he doesnât interact with a real object.Â
The crew and animators did all of this with hand drawn cell animation without computerized special effects. 1988, we were still five years out from Jurassic Park, the first movie to make the leap from fully physical creature effects to seamlessly integrating realistic computer generated images with live action footage. Rogerâs shadows werenât done with CGI. Hoskinâs sightlines were not digitally altered. Wires controlling the handcuff were not removed in post.Â
Who fucking Framed Roger fucking Rabbit, folks. The greatest trick is when people donât realize youâre tricking them at all.Â
Letâs also not forget that writing. âOnly when it was funnyâ isnât just hilarious, itâs great comedy theory. It lampshades the joke, but also serves to remind the viewer that Toons have a separate set of physical laws they adhere to, mostly revolving around comedic value. Roger cannot remove his hand from the cuffs⌠until itâd get a laugh from an audience.
Everything about this movie, EVERYTHING about it, is so finely crafted. I could wax lyrical about it for days.
Who Framed Roger Rabbit is one of my all-time favorite movies. Hands down.
On the surface level, itâs amazing. I saw it as a kid in the theater, and was blown away. It was hilarious, it was scary. It was a love letter to the era of cartooning and noir crime stories. It did what many considered a ânever in a million yearsâ scenario: Bugs Bunny and Mickey Mouse, the bajillion-dollar symbols of rivals WB and Disneyâs cartoon empires, sharing the screen together in cooperation. Think of the âholy shitâ factor when the latest Smash Bros game reveals a major non-Nintendo character is in it, multiplied by about a billion because this shit never happened back then. This may not have been the first improbable cinematic crossover, but damn if it wasnât one of the biggest, if not THE biggest.
(Plus of course Daffy and Donald Duckâs amazing piano duel, and closing the film with both Porky Pig and Tinkerbell in their famous signoffs.)
It was a technical marvel, making you forget the sheer amount of work that had to go into integrating the toons into the film. For the technology of the time, even when thereâs rough-around-the-edges bits, itâs an amazing accomplishment in practical effects and hand-drawn animation that I appreciate more and more.
If you havenât seen it, please, do so. If itâs been a while⌠see it again.
Letâs also not forget its integration of the real-world Los Angeles history of freeway-building and the disruption of minority communities. This shit is DEEP.

Researchers have used Easter Island Moai replicas to show how they might have been âwalkedâ to where they are displayed.

Finally. People need to realize aliens arenât the answer for everything (when they use it to erase poc civilizations and how smart they were)

Whatâs really wild is that the native people literally told the Europeans âthey walkedâ when asked how the statues were moved. The Europeans were like âlol these backwards heathens and their fairy tales guess itâs gonna always be a mystery!â
Maori told Europeans that kiore were native rats and no one believed them until DNA tests proved it
And the Iroquois told Europeans that squirels showed them how to tap maple syrup and no one believed them until they caught it on video
Oral history from various First Nations tribes in the Pacific Northwest contained stories about a massive earthquake/tsunami hitting the coast, but no one listened to them until scientists discovered physical evidence of quakes from the Cascadia fault line.
Roopkund Lake AKA âSkeleton Lakeâ in the Himalayas in India is eerie because it was discovered with hundreds of skeletal remains and for the life of them researchers couldnât figure out what it was that killed them. For decades the âmysteryâ went unsolved.
Until they finally payed closer attention to local songs and legend that all essentially said âYah the Goddess Nanda Devi got mad and sent huge heave stones down to kill themâ. That was consistent with huge contusions found all on their neck and shoulders and the weather patterns of the area, which are prone to huge & inevitably deadly goddamn hailstones. https://www.facebook.com/atlasobscura/videos/10154065247212728/
Literally these legends were past down for over a thousand years and it still took researched 50 to âfigure outâ the âmysteryâ. đ
Adding to this, the Inuit communities in Nunavut KNEW where both the wrecks of the HMS Erebus and HMS Terror were literally the entire time but Europeans/white people didnât even bother consulting them about either ship until likeâŚlast year.Â
âInuit traditional knowledge was critical to the discovery of both ships, she pointed out, offering the Canadian government a powerful demonstration of what can be achieved when Inuit voices are included in the process.
In contrast, the tragic fate of the 129 men on the Franklin expedition hints at the high cost of marginalising those who best know the area and its history.
âIf Inuit had been consulted 200 years ago and asked for their traditional knowledge â this is our backyard â those two wrecks would have been found, lives would have been saved. Iâm confident of that,â she said. âBut they believed their civilization was superior and that was their undoing.â

âOh yeah, I heard a lot of stories about Terror, the ships, but I guess Parks Canada donât listen to people,â Kogvik said. âThey just ignore Inuit stories about the Terror ship.â
Schimnowski said the crew had also heard stories about people on the land seeing the silhouette of a masted ship at sunset.
âThe community knew about this for many, many years. Itâs hard for people to stop and actually listen ⌠especially people from the South.â

Indigenous Australians have had stories about giant kangaroos and wombats for thousands of years, and European settlers just kinda assumed they were myths. Cut to more recently when evidence of megafauna was discovered, giant versions of Australian animals that died out 41 000 years ago.
Similarly, scientists have been stumped about how native Palm trees got to a valley in the middle of Australia, and it wasnât until a few years ago that someone did DNA testing and concluded that seeds had been carried there from the north around 30 000 years ago⌠aaand someone pointed out that Indigenous people have had stories about gods from the north carrying the seeds to a valley in the central desert.
oh man let me tell you about Indigenous Australian myths - the framework they use (with multi-generational checking thatâs unique on the planet, meaning thereâs no drifting or mutation of the story, seriously they are hardcore about maintaining integrity) means that we literally have multiple first-hand accounts of life and the ecosystem before the end of the last ice age
itâs literally the oldest accurate oral history of the world. Â
Now consider this: most people consider the start of recorded history to be with  the Sumerians and the Early Dynastic period of the Egyptians.  So around 3500 BCE, or five and a half thousand years ago These highly accurate Aboriginal oral histories originate from twenty thousand years ago at least
