Unpopular opinion: I don’t like the addisons (blue one is better i guess)
also I think kris is very protective of spamton
I think one of the absolute most frustrating things for me personally about the current climate crisis / late stage capitalism hell is that ontop of people just outright denying it and acting like the rising temperatures are normal- there’s been like. A VERY noticeable decline in the amount of insects yearly. As someone who goes out of my way to see bugs, every single year for the past decade there has been a sharp decline in bugs. What used to be fun filled summer months running around, catching grasshoppers and petting caterpillars… there’s nothing. I’ve seen one grasshopper this year. I’ve not seen a single caterpillar! It’s currently the ant nuptial flight season in my area and I’ve seen 0 winged ants. They used to all but infest my home during flight season
I remember as a kid, I used to excitedly find ladybug larvae, and I’d relocate them to plants covered in aphids. But I’ve seen one ladybug in the past 5 years, and 0 larvae. I’ve not even seen any aphids. It’s so tangible, it’s so noticeable to me as someone who considered this my absolute favourite season to do my favourite activity in. And I know if the bugs are dying off, other things that eat those bugs are to.
And the absolute worst part? When I tell people about this, the average reaction is ‘good!’. A lot of people will express joy over there being less bugs in the world. Most will express how they’re glad they’ve been experiencing less mosquitos and I want to just grab by the shoulders and shake them and yell TONS OF BUGS JUST DISAPPEARING SHARPLY OVER THE YEARS IS NOT A GOOD THING !!
Anyways. Fellow entomology nerds, have any of you also noticed a drastic decrease in bugs you’re finding yearly or is my area just in a bug deficit.
omg I thought my account was terminated on accident
apparently tumblr was just being extremely buggy and sent me this thing saying my account had been terminated when in reality it wasn't? got me panicked for no reason lol 😭
![A meme about wasps that was poorly edited to be wasp positive.
In the top right corner there is a picture of a black, yellow, and orange cicada killer wasp with text next to it that says this one is a cicada killer who are very unlikely to sting humans
From the top left there is text going down the image that says:
Do you see this?
Do you know what this is?
this is a wasp.
It's mission in nature is to live.
It pollinates things.
Some make honey
It is in the order hymenoptera along with bees and ants.
It is a [large blank space] wasp [smile emoticon]
you cannot battle the wasp. most wasps are solitary.
Paper wasps are eusocial meaning they work together to defend the nest and are calm unless they or the nest are threatened.
When you see a wasp, do you know what you do?
You chill out
you move slowly
you hope the wasp has a nice day
And wait for the wasp to finish its business and move on](https://64.media.tumblr.com/c4911814b23937c56331e62ff0e4c65e/75f669d2e8edab4d-ac/s500x750/b29b30b6774d2256d16b74b02e8473bb071230ce.jpg)
My intro is an eyesore. I screwed it up. Gonna redo it which means deleting the entire thing.
Watch Spamton try to tie a bow tie forever.
