Welp. We're going to be moving to a trailer park....
This evil landlord is forcing us to move to a place with no storage space and $250 more in rent.
We can't afford a storage unit, there's shit we need to store. Please donate to my Ko-fi to help us afford a storage unit. ko-fi.com/sockynoob
I love these little goobers so much! I wish I saw them more. Last year we had large milkweed bugs (Oncopeltus fasciatus) and there were so many of them, both nymphs and imagos. Unfortunately haven't seen any of those this year. Hope it's not too late for more of the small ones to pop up at least π

Illustration I did of a roaring and/or yawning T. rex with a judgmental rex onlooker in the background. (done for Beasts of the Mesozoic T. rex figure)
T. rex was formally named 120 years ago today. Hell yeah king happy birthday!

Would you believe this spindly guy is an assassin bug? I picked him up initially thinking he was a phasmidβ¦then I got a closer look at the face and saw the rostrum, and the raptorial forelimbs started to make sense! He's a member of emesinae, a reduviid subfamily I didn't know about before!

Did you know that small milkweed bugs (Lygaeus kalmii) have hearts on their backs? βΎοΈπΈοΈπ€πΈοΈβΎοΈ

...What do you mean it's the only member of the genus Phimosus? PHIMOSUS? PHIMOSIS? Do ornithologists even LIKE birds?

1. Cops are bad at their jobs
2. The FBI used to be somewhat better at their jobs and were recently gutted by political layoffs
