A stray boy Mahr with an overgrown stray pup he came across. Both have been through a little rough time, but sadly it’s not about to get any easier for them.

My submission for the Coven Artbook, which just came out. I’m very excited to see what this book holds inside, HamletMachine did a wonderful job putting it together and luring talented artists to join in (eeee, hardcover and everything)! ö3ö

It’s pretty likely that it’s a four digit number, and as there are four digits chosen there, that means that there cannot be any repetition. This mean that there are:

No, no, no. Don’t base your deductions of psychology. Let’s talk chemistry. When you first press a button, there’s more of the natural oils on your skin, and therefore it wears down the numbers on the keys faster. Obviously 0 is the first one, then. Try 0791 first.

Wasp mantidfly (Climacella brunnea)

The wasp mantidfly is a species in the huge family of Mantispidae (Mantidflies), which is a family of small to moderate-sized insects in the order Neuroptera (net-winged insects). Although the wasp mantidfly has grasping mantid-like raptorial front legs it is not closely related to mantids (praying mantises). Their front legs are used in the same way as a mantid’s, however, in catching small insect prey for food.

C. brunnea has a very interesting life cycle. During their 3-4 week adult life stage, inch-long females may lay as many as several thousand short-stalked eggs, grouped on the underside of plant leaves. The eggs hatch and each tiny larva waits for a passing spider. The larva then boards the spider and rides around on it until the spider lays eggs. At this time the tiny mantispid larva crawls off the spider and into the egg sac, where it feeds on the spider eggs in the security of the silken spider egg sac.

That’s a croc, not a gator—specifically, it’s a big ol’ saltie.
