Thinking About Weevil Photonic Crystal Structures...

thinking about weevil photonic crystal structures...

Weevil species Pachyrhynchus orbifer (subspecies gemmans?), male. Colouration mostly black with what looks like patches of rainbow crystalline glitter around the weevil's thorax and abdomen.
Another Weevil Pachyrhynchus orbifer (subspecies gemmans?), male, though this time the crystalline glitter covers more of the weevil's thorax and abdomen, forming black diamonds outlined by blue and with ochre filling non-black space.
Weevil Pachyrhynchus orbifer (subspecies orbifer?), male. Patterns of crystalline gold glitter on thorax and abdomen. Black legs with golden stripes. What looks like gold cheeks and golden spot on an otherwise black weevil head.
Weevil Pachyrhynchus reticulatus, showing iridescent rainbow patterns - forming the outline of diamonds on the weevil's abdomen, rectangles on its thorax and stripes on its legs.
The "Rainbow" Weevil, Pachyrrhynchus congestus pavonius. A) Habitus photograph of the whole weevil. The elytra as well as the thorax are dotted with annular rainbow-colored spots. B) A bright-field light microscope close-up image of the rim of a single elytral (hardened forewing) rainbow spot. The spot is composed of nearly circular scales or setae arranged in concentric rings of different hues, ranging from blue in the center to red at the outside, just like in a rainbow.

Weevils (such as Pachyrhynchus genera) have evolved epidermal cells that can produce colour through opal-like arrangements of packed spheres, forming a three-dimensional photonic crystalline structure.

Stress: You don't think I can fight because I'm a girl!

Ren: I don't think you can fight because you're wearing a wedding dress. Even Doc couldn't fight in that dress.

Doc: No, but I would make a ravishing bride tho.

Ok so I just recently watched all three life series from scars pov again and I've come to a horrible realization...Scar doesn't hit grian once after third life and if he does he never shows it. When grian steals his first life in last life sure scar goes after him swinging but he never actually hits him just barely missing him every time and when he was the boogeyman and had the perfect chance to kill grian he simply doesn't. In double life it was grian who hurt scar to show him that they were soulbound. It never crossed scars mind to test grian like at all. Like he just accepted that grian was helping him out by giving him food whenever he was low on hunger and worrying about his life when he was low on hearts out of the kindness of his own heart. He was one hundred percent ready to accept that grian was going to be on his side without even being soulmates in a death game. He didn't care about who his soulmate was at all in double life but accepted grian as an ally right off the bat. And when he finally realized who his soulmate was via dripstone ,as pay back for grian not telling him sooner, he doesn't hit grian ,no, he punches a jellie panda and hurts himself. Everytime he wants to hurt grian he never physically hits him it's always him hurting himself. Grian on the other hand...in last life grian isn't afraid to hit scar. After stealing his life and running into Lizzie he takes out his sword and swipes at scar the moment he jumps down to their level but misses and he shots arrows at him willingly when he's on yellow and when on red despite not wanting to. On double life grian is the one who hurts scar physically. When showing him their soulmates he uses dripstone and when their hiding from the reds he uses dripstone to prank scar which almost kills them both. It's wild. Plus in last life scar is the only one with a cactus in a world without a desert and it's mumbo and grian who trades for it and in double life they make another monopoly on sand and somehow manage to find the only cactuses on the server to hide out by when on the run. Yeah they never left the desert but Scar never left monopoly mountain and Grian never left the cactus ring.

can they cook: fellowship edition

samwise: obviously. makes the best food ever. doesn’t even follow recipes anymore. can bake too. makes really great pies, both sweet and savory. makes the dough himself.

frodo: no. sam and bilbo mostly cooked for him. sam taught him how to cook potatoes. he messed even that up. he helps by doing dishes and cutting and washing food. he can bake well, though.

pippin: once put an egg on the oven for breakfast. it was in its shell, and exploded. don’t let him near the knives or stove top.

merry: makes pretty good edibles. has mastered brownies and cookies, once put weed in a tart. can make dry sandwiches, that’s about it.

legolas: lmao no. accidentally on a raw diet. he eats everything as is. if you’re luckily he will give it a quick rinse. doesn’t eat meat, probably for the best. one time sam saw him take a bite out of a raw onion like it was an apple and lost his mind.

gimli: yes! makes good roasts and hearty stews. has the best jerky, and puts way to much pepper in everything. uses ground oven for everything he can- he digs a hole, fills it with food, and lights a fire over it. says the dirt add flavor.

aragorn: it’s edible. mostly unseasoned. will use herbs for medicine instead. knows how to perfectly cook any meat, but can’t make a salad for the life of him.

boromir: grill dad. he only cooks over flame. carrots? grill. potatoes? grill. nuts? grill. he’s a big fan of just, throwing the food into the fire pit. to be fair, it tastes pretty good. only uses salt, pepper and paprika.

gandalf: no one has ever seen gandalf cooking. truth is, he can, in theory. hasn’t actually cooked in forever. the last thing he made was a birthday cake. it was no one’s birthday. he ate it by himself and didn’t share with anyone.
