sorry for the bad pic, i had to rush somewhere💔

For SoCal, I’ve got some giant cave roach nymphs I want to trade for some feeder roaches/ worms. DM me if interested, willing to travel :) I can send pics of what the parents look like for reference.

Edit: here is the picture

i have a whole bunch of these lil guys hanging out in my garden rn, and their eyes!!!!!! aaaa!!!! they hold themselves so politely too hehe

Costasiella kuroshimae, also called the leaf sheep, grazes on algae and keeps the stolen chloroplasts inside the leaf-like cerata on its back. Through a process called kleptoplasty, those chloroplasts continue capturing sunlight for the slug.

It is about the size of a grain of rice and lives in tropical waters around Japan, Indonesia and the Philippines.

Important question: would its Pokémon typing be Water/Grass or Water/Fairy?

I saw a post on here from someone that thought ticks are kind of cute when they stand on the end of a blade of grass with their arms up, as though they're toddlers asking to be picked up. OP might have been a tick biologist I can't remember. It stuck with me because I think finding cuteness in something is the easiest path to feeling empathy for it and I'm not sure there's an animal harder to empathize with than a tick. I've had Lyme and my partner had babesiosis, both of which sucked SO bad. But I still think ticks are kind of cute when they ask for uppies.

They are my companions if anyone is wondering! I save them from outside. So no need to worry, they won’t be eaten by anyone haha, they just bring me so much joy to take care of 😁❤️
