For some reason unicorns seem to love hanging around the ruins of human settlements – perhaps it’s simply the abundance of nice lounging spots, but I suspect a certain amount of gloating over the inevitable crumbling of human endeavor may also be involved.

I made a little wooly bear caterpillar.
I was inspired by The Closet Historian's moth brooch video to learn turkey stitch, and I tried brushing it with a wire brush, which really fluffed it up a lot more. I had to trim it a little bit more after the brushing.

All the materials were from my stash, and I didn't time it but it took quite a few hours. I wish I'd used a thinner fabric because this felted coat wool was a bit tough to sew through, and didn't want to bend into a rounded caterpillar shape.

I'm quite happy with it, it turned out so cute! It's a bit bigger than a real one.

quark-nova asked:

Do you have cool velvet worm facts? They're my favourite bug-creatures :3

onenicebugperday answered:

I love velvet worms! Absolutely bizarre creatures. They don’t have an exoskeleton and they move by changing the fluid pressure in their body. ALSO there’s a species (Euperipatoides rowelli) that lives in social groups lead by a dominant female.

Let’s admire that species.

Close-up photo of a reddish-brown Phellodon bracket fungus with white margins. The fungus is covered in large, dark red droplets.

Photo of the underside of two small white mushrooms showing their gills and stipe. Water droplets are visible on the edge of the cap and towards the bottom of the stipe. The droplets are colourless except at the bottom of the stipe where they are slightly brown-tinged.

The underside of a black Phellodon bracket fungus showing its toothed spore-bearing surface, which is pale grey. A few small droplets of black liquid are visible on the underside.

Close-up photo of the brown underside of a Ganoderma bracket fungus. It is covered in many droplets of liquid in a variety of colours. Some of them are white, yellow, or orange, and there is a cluster of red droplets in the centre of the photo. They are illuminated by the camera flash.

some examples of guttation in fungi (Phellodon nothofagi, Leucoagaricus sp, Phellodon sinclairii, and Ganoderma sp). guttation is the release of excess moisture, which often occurs in fungi during rapid growth, and results in colourful droplets on the surface or underside of the fungus.

The Venus girdle (Cestum veneris) is a comb jelly in the family Cestidae. The colorless species are transparent when suspended in water, except for their iridescent rows of comb plates. In other words, they majestic as fuck. Love to sea it 🌊
