Well, that was the most fun I ever had. IFC was so incredible this year, and it was a revelation for me. At the raves, I didn't care who was watching, I just danced. People joined in. I joined people. We connected wordlessly. My greatest expressions of self love made others give that love back. #IFC

#ifc2025 was a blast! Thanks again to all the folks at @otterchaos.band for being such great bandmates!

Gustopher Goes Missing (Part 3/3) - Gator Days

Ever since I was little, I always wanted to be a scientist. I sit here today thinking that I'm the closest I've ever been to that dream. I'm in the acknowledgements of a research paper that I helped gather and process data for! I'm going to be a scientist, and the world won't ever be in my way!🪻🏳️‍⚧️🦋

My brain is full of bugs. I have spent far too many hours in the past few weeks counting beetle feet and having summer just end that is giving me whiplash

Cabbage white butterfly!

Carpenter bee!

I wanna be back on campus but I don't wanna work I wanna be eepy and video game ;_;

Thinking of... Bugs 💜🪻

Happy new year to all! Looking back on this year, Ive grown a lot. I've become stronger, more social, and more adept at knowing myself and the world around me. The road I paved in mistakes doesn't look as daunting, and I hope to let my successes light the way forward.

Teetering on the edge of oblivion Looking to the foreshadowed plague It came, heralded by those who see my existence And turn me from person to debate

Always 💖 Don't make me tap the sign

Sorry that I haven't been doing bug stuff recently. I've been a little burnt out, so I'll do my best to have some stuff up soon

#bugsky 🪲 Time for the family of the day! This time it's Pentatomidae! These little stink bugs are everywhere right now, trying to overwinter in people's homes. I believe these ones are brown marmorated stink bug. Stink bugs have a very distinct shape and a large triangle on their backs! Stinky🤢!

#bugsky 🪲 Happy Friday! Let's celebrate with the family of the day: Libellulidae🐉! These dragonflies come in many shapes and sizes, but are pretty easy to ID! Look at the hind wings, and you'll see a little boot shape! As far as I know, all libellulids have this characteristic! Isn't it cool?

I wonder why so many insect families begin with a C, it gets really confusing remembering them all ;_;

#bugsky 🪲 Family of the day! This one is super relevant right now, as they're trying to overwinter in your home! Coccinellidae are Lady beetles/ladybugs! I caught these invasive Asian lady beetles trying to come in to the buildings on campus everywhere! But the others are charming, aren't they? 🐞

#Bugsky Insect Family of the week! But this time: Superfamily! Coccoidea holds scale insects! Scales are understudied because they're really difficult to properly ID, it's actually easiest to ID them based on what they're on! I found a pine needle with some, so I think they're Disapididae!

#bugsky Sorry! I got yesterday wrong for Megachilidae! Leaf cutting bees are more easily seen due to the scopa on their underside. This is why we don't rush through ID, we make mistakes and accidentally spread misinformation.

Actually, that is a bee from a different family (Halictidae). Megachilids can be recognized by the brush of hair underneath their abdomen which they use to collect pollen, called the scopa.

Sorry for missing yesterday's family of the day, it will happen again ;_;

Zim does a When. Probably THE biggest banger I ever made, I'm still not 100% sure to this day, lol

extremely stupid little comic

Bug family of the day! Gerridae are funky little aquatic predators that are more commonly known as water striders! They're easy to sight ID due to their unique adaptation to sit on top of the water using surface tension! Don't confuse them for their little sisters, Veliidae! #bugsky ©Deep Look

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!! 🥹💕🌎 #MOTHER2_30th #earthbound

I wanna start a bug family of the day! So for the first one, I wanna start with the epitome of a "True bug" Miridae! Miridae are plant bugs in the order Hemiptera and the suborder Heteroptera! You can reliably identify mirids by looking at a small segment of their wings called the cuneus! #bugsky 🪲

Look at my bugs! I have many bugs for completely inconspicuous reasons!

Wow, it's so empty here. Lemme fix that
