Dandroid's Aperture Science 💛🤍💜🖤🕷️🐜

@borak_faith @smkennett4 Oh hi! Might have to collect a few I see, good science

@smkennett4 @apsciencebydan Bagworm parasitoids!!

I collected these bagworm cocoons a few weeks ago in Georgia and just discovered parasitoids have emerged! Anyone know what these are?

And this massive air plant! With a Daniel for scale

More bug:

Had a lovely outing with @apsciencebydan on Sunday! Many a bug to be had 🪲🕷️

@_kness 🤎🥹 Looks like a little Synageles nugget

@apsciencebydan Hi! Following you introduced me to ant spoods and today I got so excited ! There was one on me ! I can't tell the species or anything but they're awesome. They were safely released. Thank you for this :)

Baby ant spood! 🥹 In proximity to a bunch of foraging actual ants was this little peckhamia americana doing their best ant impression. 🖤 #DailyAntSpood 4/7/23. N. Florida

@am_anatiala It appears I can be summoned by invoking nugget-sized Hymenoptera

@apsciencebydan hey cool of you for stopping by

Found more perdita

@7StellarJays Damn. I'm sorry. That shit sucks.

@7StellarJays Or Dolichognatha!

I've got some BS invite codes for any mutuals who'd like to follow me over there and haven't gotten a chance yet.

As much as I hate to do this, after I-forget-how-many-years on here, but it's time to go. Y'all can find me on Bluesky, IG, Tumblr, and Facebook. Don't love any of the options, but this place is done. I hate it. It most certainly did not have to be like this. 😬

@eleneariel And, watching someone who makes such effort to show themselves detached and ironic and all that finally let his guard down and be vulnerable, and then just be shut down like that... 😭 Goddamnit

@apsciencebydan Heartrending

I've seen people feeling disgruntled to downright angry abt the ending of #GoodOmensS2 & I have to disagree. It's a romance; the formula for romance is you always get a Happily Ever After, but first the lovers have to overcome an obstacle that looks like it will keep them apart

@eleneariel Crowley just waiting at the car watching his boo leave, hoping he changes his mind at the last second 😭

This is meant to be the middle of 3 parts, so of course it ends on the will they/won't they? note. Fingers crossed we do get #GoodomensS3 and the proper end to the story ♡

@BunnyLoveErin Same, just keeping up with a few people, keeping DM's open, etc.

@BunnyLoveErin I don't know, it's sort of grandfathered in for me as the only place my siblings post anything and see my posts, and a few others. I don't really care for it anymore personally.

@DryRiverbedGirl 💙💙

@apsciencebydan I have enjoyed your posts over the years. Thank you for sharing your fantastic photos 😊

@sandpaperoctopi Aww. Thank you. I'm glad to hear my tiny friends spark joy. 💙

Also I'm on Mastodon, technically, but that place does not spark joy for me. 🤷

I feel like so many people I enjoyed having around on here have already left to various places and I may not even remember them now because out of sight out of mind brain failure. I'd rather not forget people like that. 😟
