#the larvae

I sneezed last night, like actually sneezed. I usually try to hide it when it's happening because otherwise-

As you may recall, our researcher Henry had taken in some larvae he found disturbing his garden. At the time of discovery, they were estimated to be about 1-2 weeks old. He continues to provide them much love and affection, among other necessities, as they approach the ripe ol' age of 5 weeks since discovery (so about 7 weeks old).

I need you all to know that the birds are spoiled (I know you know but you don't KNOW). I need you to know that I have little glass "bowl" leftover from some fancy bitch(tm) pudding I got a few years ago, and every night the birds jump up to their roost for bed, and I fill the bowl with Very cold water, and I hold my phone's flashlight up to the bowl, and they all clamor to drink from the Super Special Glowing Water Bowl. They HAVE water, they could drink water before going to bed. But they don't. And I can't use other bowls, they might or might not drink from them, and it's usually not. They want their magical little bedtime drinkies from this specific bowl.

What is it??
