Guys please stop writing novels in the tags of *your own posts* if only because it fucks up the tag system for searches. The latest two posts in the #humans-b-gone tag are not remotely related to HBG, they’re just the product of two people going on such long tag rants that they incidentally used all the keywords :|
A series about a 400-foot tall praying mantis that works in pest control…controlling humans, that is. Watch it above! ^^^
I just released a compilation of all episodes (minus Gregorsa’s notes at the end)! If you feel like getting caught up on them, refreshing yourself, or introducing someone else to the series, this is a great way to do it! And, if you’re new to the series…enjoy!

This is literally a goddess of time who once ‘nope’d the death of a friend so hard she accidentally made him immortal vs a weirdly pink spider. This should not be as close of a competition as this is…
I mean, if we’re going by appearances alone, that’s just a lady in a weirdly pink headband. If we’re going off show content, the spider has a 500-foot legspan and is not bound by the laws of known physics. This should not be as close of a competition, indeed…
Ok, there were lots of votes for fuzzy (tomorrow, I promise), but I was inspired by @cccshutdown requesting “bring me the Longest beast you know” to post this ginormous female dobsonfly we found at the lights a couple of weeks ago. She is Eastern Dobsonfly (Corydalus cornutus), she is Megaloptera, and she is FIERCE!!
Zombie movie more accurate to ant Cordyceps where instead of eating other people you just go up someplace really high and wait to get eaten by a giant cow
My bad–waiting to get eaten by a cow is when the ant is parasitized by a fluke, not the Cordyceps fungus. Cordyceps just makes the ant climb up high to spread spores, duh. That’s more parasites that make ants climb up high than you would expect!
(There’s also a nematode that makes the ant’s butt look like a berry so she’ll get eaten by a bird, but I don’t think we’re ready for that zombie movie)
Just like baby cats are kittens and baby dogs are puppies, baby mosquitoes are wrigglers! Mosquito larvae are aquatic, and spend most of their time wriggling through the water, hence the term ‘wriggler’. Likewise, mosquito pupae are called tumblers for the way they tumble near the water’s surface.

If you like what I do, consider leaving a tip or buying me a ko-fi!
You can see the mosquito’s whole upper body developing in the tumbler! Those pupa are one of my favorite real life creature designs ever. It’s such a cool appealing shape.
I got this silly idea in my head at work last night for a “Biblically Accurate Praying Mantis”, so I attempted to paint one. I think it went alright, considering I don’t paint often ^_^
The Angel of Prayer Alternatively The Angel of Cannibalism
Before Reddit ruins everything forever I want everyone to see that I had this many karma and coins. I was never much on Reddit so I don’t know how good that is but I had it
