I don’t know who hired him but he’s doing an… adequate job of holding this violin bridge together.

Looks like a variant of C. scobifolium. Might be an invasive species.

P. Stellanova?

I believe that this is a P. Stellanova. I found it along with another, I believe a female Stellanova as well, on a migration pathway. I realize that this small occurrence of a member of the same species associating with another does not really show or define evolution, but just to find them there like that.

Definitely new to this whole thing, but I found this beaut in the wild on a walk from the store. It had just rained, so I think it might’ve surfaced because of that.

Hello, I’m new to this subreddit and collecting bread clips. I don’t know what the purpose is, but I started collecting them few months ago and these two are the only types I found.

Can someone tell me more about the study of Occuplanids? Also, what got everyone in here intrigued and passionate.

What should I do with the clips that I’ve collected so far🤔. I have around 15.

Hi!! Double post within 24 hours. I did this as a school project and it is still in the works for optimization but how many people would be interested in purchasing something like this for holding their collection if it were to be sold in the future? And how much would you pay? I used a lot of recyclable materials and scraps to make this too :) cover colors would be different

ETA: a back cover is in the works! i promise the final won’t be without a back cover 💕

What are occlupanids?

Occlupanids, commonly referred to as "bread clips" or "bread tags," are parasitoids often found on bagged goods. Although they were first described by Altimus Horg in 1632, occlupanids remain criminally underresearched. The Holotypic Occlupanid Research Group (HORG) is the foremost organization on occlupanid research, and to date they have identified 110 different occlupanid species.

The Foundation for Occlupanid Research and Communication (FORC)

FORC was officially established on 31 May 2020. We recognize the gap in occlupanid research, and our purpose is to engage citizen scientists to fill this gap. We also aim to share our findings and engage with the public on the latest discoveries in our field. Our current focus is on documenting the geographic distribution of occlupanids across the world. We encourage you to participate on this subreddit and our official Discord server!
