Cucumber has been acting a little weird recently- she has been very restless (which usually means she’s hungry) but hasn’t been eating as much food as before- her colors are slightly changing and I beleieveeee she’s trying to turn into a moth:)

I gave her some dirt and since opening this post to write it she has already started to crawl into the dirt lmao

Location: SE United States

Found this guy in my dad’s truck. I tried to ID him myself but couldn’t find anything. Tysm :D

Caterpillar ID:

The color was throwing me off for a bit, but I think this is a Clouded Skipper (Lerema accuis), family Hesperiidae.

Theyre usually green, but can turn brown or yellow right before they pupate. That head capsule is pretty distinct, though.

Saved, this bad boys going into (one of the) collages you have no idea.

I've been really thinking about that weird hand guy and made a new oc who works under him.

They usually observe ENA wherever they are with tvs(shown with Meanie-Salesperson) and capture any that get too powerful/unstable(As shown with my Sinner-Saint ENA)

They are facinated by ENA and wishes to be one (mainly because of the near constant levitation ability)

They make sure all the ENA in both their and the hand guy's care are ok and relatively happy.

I hc there's a whole facility in the study of ENA.

The Camouflaged Looper: This Inchworm Makes Its Own Flower “Costume”

Meet the caterpillar with incredible ability to disguise itself by attaching pieces of plant to its back.

It’s unknown how goblins domesticate giant vermin and annelids, but our best guess is that its simply a matter of compatible psychology, like humans and dogs or orcs and boars. Many treat their charges like family, with equal odds of being remanded to the stewpot due to famine or hunter laziness.
