@nanonaturalist what is this guy i love him?

Aaahhhhhhh Belostomatidae!!! Also known as a Giant Water Bug, this is a family of very large (in size) aquatic hemipterans (true bugs). They are also predatory and are sometimes called “toe-biters.” They eat other aquatic insects, but also amphibians, fish, and some birds. And, yes, that’s right, they fly.

Some more info on these friends!

I have not been so blessed to meet a living one, but I did encounter them in a somewhat unexpected place:

They are good eatings, if you’re into that sort of thing! And look at how EXPENSIVE!

Spittlebug (Philagra sp., Aphrophoridae)

The spittlebugs are best known for the nymphal stage, which produces a cover of frothed-up plant sap resembling spit; the nymphs are therefore commonly known as spittlebugs and their froth as cuckoo spit, frog spit or snake spit.

The froth serves a number of purposes. It hides the nymph from the view of predators and parasites, it insulates against heat and cold, thus providing thermal control and also moisture control. Without the froth the insect would quickly dry up. The nymphs pierce plants and suck sap causing very little damage, much of the filtered fluids go into the production of the froth, which has an acrid taste, deterring predators.

the opposite of “pulling a jkr” (re dumbledore) is pulling a black sails. the main character is gay. there’s a lesbian. and another one. and another one. and a bi woman. even the extras are gay. you thought there’d be straight people? think again bitch

sahrimnir asked:

Hello, Mr. Gaiman. I am planning to write a modern re-telling of The Divine Comedy. Following in Dante's footsteps, the protagonist would obviously be a self-insert. Now, in the original, Dante was guided through Hell by his favourite poet Virgil. Keeping with that, I thought that my guide should be my favourite writer, i.e. you. How would you feel about your likeness being used in a story like this?

Just fine… although, shouldn’t it be someone who is dead?
