#bruchidius

a relatively colorful little Bruchidius with a charming pollen pom-pom on its forehead. it feels like every time i find one of these guys they look slightly different from every other individual i've seen before, and i'm not saying i somehow have dozens of different species in the vicinity of my house but it sounds like the sort of thing that would happen with small beetles

Theba pisana are stupid idiot lazy snails that don't hide when it's too dry (aka 90% of the year where i live) but cluster out in the open instead, often on flowers. this leads to a lot of accidental hugs from random pollinators that i like to call #mysnail moments, like with this Bruchidius here
