i love bugs..,

YAYY!!!1!!

Centipedes pretty much all fall under a “sleek and lethal” aesthetic but to me one of the cutest things of all is when a tough fierce predator gets gentle and protective. A mother centipede will stay wrapped around her eggs and babies not only to keep parasites at bay but to hold them up off of the ground and keep them clean of any fungi or bacterial infections! Some studies find that if the babies are already hatched, the whole family will scatter and fend for themselves when disturbed (such as by a huge human uncovering them), so the babies don’t “need” the mother’s protection, but she’ll still hold onto them for a long time if she can. Every extra day that they get a little more time to grow under her watch probably makes a difference.

hes also very nice and he keeps trying to get on my hand but i dont want to let him until i know hes not venomous so im gonna ask @onenicebugperday. do you know what type of guy this goober is. i already know hes a jumping spider bc of the autism stare btw

the average hamster owner is close friends with jigsaw

a bombardier beetle’s spray isn’t just smelly and bitter like a skunk but comes out momentarily boiling hot. Even I can’t believe something so different from a human has the same exact response to this that we would.

This is so fuuuucked
